Stage 19 of the Tour de France delivered one of the most memorable days of this year’s race, and Brent Bookwalter and Tejay van Garderen break down every major moment from the legendary climb of Alpe d’Huez.
From the fierce battle for the polka dot jersey to the relentless attacks throughout the stage, there was action from start to finish. We discuss Richard Carapaz’s incredible ride to take over the polka dot jersey, how close he came to winning the stage, and what it means for the mountains classification.
We also break down Tadej Pogacar’s breathtaking, record-breaking ride up Alpe d’Huez, what it says about his dominance, and why any lingering concerns about UAE Team Emirates’ health may have been put to rest.
Plus, we discuss the role the American riders played throughout the stage, check in on Mads Pedersen’s march toward the green jersey, and wrap up the show by previewing Stage 20 and the storylines that could shape the final weekend of the 2026 Tour de France. #NBCSports #TourDeFrance #Cycling #BeyondThePodium
