Jonas Vingegaard responds to back-to-back defeats in the Tour de France 2025, reigniting hopes in the GC battle against Tadej Pogacar. A pivotal stage performance marks a potential turning point in his campaign.

Pogačar, the three-time champion, crashed with 2.4 miles remaining after hitting the wheel of Tobias Johannessen in front.

Norway’s Jonas Abrahamsen won an incident-packed stage 11 at the Tour de France on Wednesday, outsprinting Mauro Schmid in Toulouse. Behind them, race favorite Tadej Pogačar crashed in the final minutes, but did not lose any time to his general classification rivals after they sportingly waited until he rejoined them.

Stage 13 of the Tour de France will take place on Friday, July 18th, as Tadej Pogacar looks to maintain control of the lead.

Pogacar’s primary challenger is Jonas Vingegaard. The 28-year-old from Denmark claimed the yellow jersey in 2023. He is without question the top threat to Pogacar’s pursuit of a fourth triumphant ride along the Champs-Elysees later this month.
