Defending champion Tadej Pogacar gifted victory to his teammate Isaac Del Toro on the second stage of the Tour de France while Jonas Vingegaard retained the overall lead on Sunday. Del Toro attacked on the 700-meter climb to the finish to put Pogacar in a position to win, but Pogacar instead slowed down and put his arm on the Mexican rider's shoulder as he let him cross the line first. The 22-year-old Del Toro looked open-mouthed with surprise at the sporting gesture from Pogacar, who is looking to win the race for the third straight time and fifth overall.
