Pogacar Set to Win Tour De France, Carapaz Claims Queen Stage
Carapaz attacked on the final climbs and took the polka-dot jersey after Kuss crashed twice in the closing kilometers, officials said.
- On Saturday, July 25, 2026, Richard Carapaz of Ecuador won Stage 20 of the 2026 Tour de France, a grueling 170.9-kilometer mountain stage ending at Alpe d'Huez, after American Sepp Kuss crashed twice in the final kilometers.
- Agony struck for Kuss, who was leading by around 15–20 seconds before crashing twice within 7km of the finish; Carapaz capitalized on the misfortune to surge past and secure his second stage victory in three days.
- Race leader Tadej Pogacar of Slovenia finished fourth, maintaining his commanding overall lead of more than seven minutes over Belgian Remco Evenepoel, who took second in the stage and narrowed the gap by around 40 seconds.
- Due to wildfires near Bordeaux, Tour de France organizers announced Sunday's final stage will be shortened to 89 kilometres from the original 133 kilometres to redeploy security personnel, according to organizers and police.
- Crossing the finish line in Paris tomorrow will secure Pogacar a record-equaling fifth Tour de France title, joining cycling legends Jacques Anquetil, Eddy Merckx, Bernard Hinault, and Miguel Indurain as the youngest to achieve this milestone.
