LUZ ARDIDEN, France: Tadej Pogacar claimed another landmark victory in the 18th stage of the Tour de France to edge closer to retaining his title as a cloud of doping suspicions hung over the world's greatest cycling race on Thursday .
The Slovenian's brutal acceleration 500 metres from the line, at the top of Luz Ardiden , could not be matched by his rivals as Denmark's Jonas Vingegaard and Ecuador's Richard Carapaz finished two seconds behind in second and third respectively. Colombian Rigoberto Uran , fourth overall at the start, cracked in the penultimate ascent to the Col du Tourmalet to drop out of the top 10.
Gaudu, whose monster work had set up Thibaut Pinot for a landmark win at the Tourmalet in 2019, accelerated and was followed by Alaphilippe, fellow Frenchman Pierre Latour and Portugal's Ruben Guerreiro.
