Tour de France 2026 Stage 20 Recap - Why Was Tadej Pogačar a Super Domestique for Isaac del Toro?

Richard Carapaz capped off an incredible Tour de France with a second consecutive mountain stage victory, conquering Alpe d'Huez after a dramatic final mountain stage. The Ecuadorian produced another unforgettable ride to secure the stage win and wrap up the King of the Mountains classification, while heartbreak struck Sepp Kuss after two crashes cost him what looked set to be a famous victory. In this episode, we break down Carapaz's sensational performance, the devastating misfortune for Kuss, and how Remco Evenepoel capitalised to finish second on the stage. We also analyse Tadej Pogačar's measured ride as he chose to protect Isaac del Toro's podium position rather than chase another stage victory, effectively sealing his fifth Tour de France title ahead of the final stage in Paris. We also discuss the final general classification battle, Del Toro's impressive ride to secure the white jersey, Paul Seixas' fight for fourth overall, and what to expect on the final stage as the 2026 Tour de France reaches its conclusion.
