Tadej Pogacar is fired up to reclaim the yellow jersey as the Tour de France enters a decisive second week. The defending champion, currently 29 seconds behind leader Ben Healy, called the race “explosive, stressful and super-hard” so far but believes the upcoming mountain stages and time trial at Peyragudes will suit him. Pogacar expects big gaps to emerge, eyeing the Hautacam climb as a turning point. Confident yet cautious, he says the pressure is on his rivals to attack, while he remains focused on a fourth Tour victory.
