Longwy, France, July 7 (AFP\/APP): Defending champion Tadej Pogacar of the UAE Emirates team launched a blistering attack on a late climb to win stage six of the Tour de France and reclaim the overall leader’s yellow jersey on Thursday.<\/p>\n

Pogacar attacked on a steep climb 500m from the finish and was a class above his key rivals Jonas Vingegaard and Adam Yates, who are now 31sec and 39sec behind him in the standings.<\/p>\n

“It feels like the first time I had it, I wasn’t expecting it today, it was a real battle,” Pogacar said.<\/p>\n

A battle he seemed to win with relative ease however.<\/p>\n

The Slovenian took the yellow ahead of EF’s American rider Nelson Powless thanks to the 10 bonus seconds on offer for the stage winner.<\/p>\n

The 23-year-old celebrated by repeatedly punching the air and is in prime position in his bid to win a third consecutive Tour de France.<\/p>\n

He beat Australian Michael Matthews into second on the day while David Gaudu of FDJ was third and Briton Tom Pidcock fourth.<\/p>\n

On his rookie Tour de France Ineos rider Pidcock, 22, will wear the best under-26’s white jersey Friday, although Pogacar leads him in those rankings.<\/p>\n

Overnight leader Wout van Aert paraded the yellow jersey through Belgium before launching an eventually doomed but rampaging attack through 130km of rolling forest terrain before being caught 15km out.<\/p>\n

Van Aert will race Friday’s stage in the green sprint points jersey instead and will have won many fans for his swashbuckling attitude.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
