Tour de France Stage 18 results: Tadej Pogacar holds off Jonas Vingegaard in French Alps
Tadej Pogačar didn't win the hardest stage of the 2025 Tour de France on Thursday, but the defending champion and this year's favorite showed again that there's likely nobody capable of taking the yellow jersey from him. Australian Ben O'Connor won Stage 18 of the Tour de France to vault into the top 10 of the overall standings as riders had to overcome 5,450 meters in climbs up three different summits, including the toughest one to the finish line at Courchevel Col de la Loze. But Pogačar's ability to maintain his sizable lead over chief rival Jonas Vingegaard is leaving little room for drama with just three stages remaining in this year's Tour de France. Vingegaard made several attacks throughout the day to try to shake loose of Pogačar, who he trailed by more than four minutes for the overall lead entering Stage 18. But the three-time Tour de France champion never allowed Vingegaard from his sight, and then left his chief rival behind once again in the final kilometer to take second place in the stage.

Tour de France changes Stage 19 route after contagious outbreak in local cattle herd
The final mountain stage of the 2025 Tour de France will be almost 35 kilometers shorter than planned, event officials announced Thursday, July 24, after the discovery of a contagious outbreak in a herd of cattle along the original route from Albertville to La Plagne in the French Alps. Stage 19 of the Tour de France on Friday, July 25 will now be 95 kilometers instead of 129.9 kilometers because the specific cattle herd is located in the Col de Saisies, one of the mountain passes riders were scheduled to climb for the latest test at cycling's biggest event of the year. The herd of cattle have been diagnosed with nodular dermatitis, and the presence of the skin disease has necessitated the culling (or slaughter) of the animals. "In light of the distress experienced by the affected farmers and in order to preserve the smooth running of the race, it has been decided, in agreement with the relevant authorities, to modify the route of Stage 19 (Albertville–La Plagne) and to avoid the ascent to the col des Saisies," Tour de France officials said in a statement. 2025 TOUR DE FRANCE: How to watch, schedule and standings for cycling race The ceremonial start of the race still will occur in Albertville, but riders will quickly veer off course before rejoining the original route at what was supposed to be the 52.4-kilometer mark. The start time of Friday's race has also been pushed back one hour to 8:30 a.m. ET. Stage 19 is considered the best chance left for rivals to attempt to close the gap with defending Tour de France champion Tadej Pogačar, who will enter Friday with a commanding 4-minute, 26-second lead over Jonas Vingegaard for the yellow jersey and overall lead. Pogačar finished in second place during Stage 18 through the French Alps, surging past Vingegaard in the final kilometer to widen his advantage. A shortened course Friday will make passing Pogačar more unlikely. There are just three stages remaining in the 2025 Tour de France, with the final stage scheduled for Sunday, July 27 and ending in Paris at the Champs-Elysees. Pogačar is seeking his fourth overall Tour de France title. This article originally appeared on USA TODAY: Tour de France Stage 19 route altered due to cow disease outbreak
