Norwegian sprinter Søren Wærenskjold won the fastest-ever road stage in the 2026 Tour de France, claiming victory in a frenzied sprint finish into Nevers. The record-breaking stage came after race leader Tadej Pogacar had already shattered the record for the fastest climb of the Col du Tourmalet. Pogacar also revealed he nearly crashed after riding over a loose bottle during his stage, but managed to stay upright and maintain his race lead.
