Tadej Pogačar claimed his fourth stage victory of the 2026 Tour de France, winning the 155.3-kilometre 14th stage from Mulhouse to Le Markstein on Friday to further consolidate his general classification lead, after a commanding solo ride on stage 10 earlier in the week.

Pogačar attacked 1.5 kilometres from the summit of Le Markstein, breaking away on a demanding route that featured 3,800 metres of elevation gain and three category-one climbs. He crossed the line 38 seconds clear of Paul Seixas and Isaac del Toro, who completed the podium. Jonas Vingegaard finished fourth, losing five seconds in the final sprint. The win marked Pogačar's 25th career Tour stage victory.

Florian Lipowitz finished seventh and moved to sixth overall, while Mads Pedersen leads the points classification by 36 points over Jasper Philipsen. Stage 15 heads to Plateau de Solaisan, finishing with an 11.3-kilometre climb averaging nine percent.
