The 2024 Tour de France nears its midway point after Sunday's Stage 9, and Slovenian cyclist Tadej Pogačar continues to establish his lead.
Pogačar will still wear the yellow jersey on Tuesday for Stage 10 following the riders' day off on Monday, though it was Frenchman Anthony Turgis who won the day on Sunday. Turgis crossed the line in Troyes at 04:19:43 at the head of a leading group to win the race's gravel stage.
Eritrean rider and Stage 8 winner Biniam Girmay also maintained his lead in the points classification for a fifth straight day.
Here's how the classification at the 2024 Tour de France looks as it nears the midway point and heads into its first off day.
