Tadej Pogačar showcased his exceptional cycling prowess during stage 6 of the Critérium du Dauphiné by claiming victory and regaining the overall race lead. After facing challenges from rivals like Remco Evenepoel and Jonas Vingegaard, Pogačar executed a masterful strategy aided by his team's support, ultimately delivering a decisive attack on the steep Côte de Domancy. He finished solo, leaving Vingegaard 1:01 behind and Lipowitz in third. This win not only highlighted Pogačar's skills but also shifted the race dynamics in his favor ahead of the coming stages.
Tim [Wellens] was super strong, Pavel [Sivakov], Jhonny [Narváez] too, they were really incredible today, all the team actually. In the end, I felt good, and we said we would go from the bottom of the climb on the steepest part.
Winning here means a lot to me, especially after how the previous days went. We regained the confidence we needed to take control of the race.
