LES ANGLES, France, July 6 : Defending champion Tadej Pogacar's final attack paid off as the UAE Team Emirates-XRG rider won his first stage of this year's Tour de France on Monday, taking the overall lead from Jonas Vingegaard, who finished second.

Four-time winner Pogacar was led out by stage two winner and teammate Isaac del Toro in the final kilometre, and earned his 22nd Tour de France stage win with a lunge for the finish line after a gruelling 195.9km mountainous ride in stage three.
