Critérium du Dauphiné 2025 Stage 6 Results: Pogacar Wins, Reclaims Yellow

Tadej Pogacar soloed to victory in the sixth stage of the Critérium du Dauphiné 2025 on Friday to reclaim the yellow jersey and put himself firmly in contention for overall victory.

With this 97th victory of his career, the Slovenian, who cruised in 1 minute, 1 second ahead of Denmark's Jonas Vingegaard, becomes the active rider with the joint-most victories -- on a par with French sprinter Arnaud Demare.

Belgian Remco Evenepoel, who was leading the overall classification, finished fifth at 1 minute 50 seconds.

Pogacar now has a 43-second lead over Vingegaard, 54 seconds over German Florian Lipowitz and 1 minute, 22 seconds over Evenepoel.

The Slovenian had already worn the yellow jersey before in this 77th edition of the Dauphine after claiming victory in the first stage last weekend.

"I'm super happy to be back in yellow," Pogacar said. "It was a very good day for us. I'm getting very good answers from this Dauphine. I wasn't too stressed after the time trial (on Wednesday), and the shape is here."

On Friday, in the first of three mountain stages and competing under a baking sun, he took his revenge on Vingegaard on the Cote de Domancy, where the Dane had outclassed him in a time trial at the 2023 Tour de France.

The world champion put in an acceleration with 7 kilometers to go that left everyone in his wake. Only Vingegaard managed to hang on to his wheel for a few meters, before settling back, unable to keep up with his rival.

It was an important marker for Pogacar to put down to his leading Tour de France rivals ahead of his title defense following the 26-year-old's sub-par showing in Wednesday's time trial at the Dauphine.

Saturday's queen stage is a mountainous 132-kilometer run from Grand-Aigueblanche to Valmeinier 1800.
