The 2024 Tour de France is in the home stretch as the competition went into its third-to-last day on Friday.
UAE Team Emirates's Tadej Pogacar continued to hold onto his overall commanding lead that he has set over the last few days by winning the challenging Stage 19 through the Alps with a time of 4 hours 4 minutes and 3 seconds. Pogacar now leads the entire Tour de France with a total gap time of over five minutes at 5 minutes and 3 seconds.
It is the fourth stage win and third time in the leading yellow jersey for Pogacar at the 2024 Tour de France.
During Stage 19, a shakeup in the overall Tour de France standings occurred. American cyclist Matteo Jorgenson (Team Visma | Lease A Bike) finished with an impressive second-place finish behind Pogacar in Stage 19 with a time of 4 hours 4 minutes and 24 seconds to move into the top 10 at No. 9.
That wasn't the only shakeup in the leaderboard. Derek Gee (Isarel-Premier Tech) moved up into the eighth overall position with a time of 4 hours 7 minutes and 30 seconds Friday. Giulio Ciccone (Lidl-Trek) saw another decline on the leaderboard as he dropped from No. 8 to No. 10 with a Stage 19 time of 4 hours 8 minutes and 48 seconds — 4 minutes and 45 seconds behind Pogacar on Friday.
Two stages remain in the 2024 Tour de France as riders make their trek to the finish line in Nice, France — compared to the traditional finish in Paris due to the 2024 Paris Olympics that start next week. Saturday's Stage 20 will be the mountain stage of the 21-day event.
