Pogácar Andorra Altitude Block Saturday Morning Pas-de-la-Casa Checkpoint Closes At A Closing 499 Watts On The Closing Twenty-Minute Peak Output Reference Twenty-Four Hours From The UAE Team Emirates-XRG Davos Three-Rider Co-Leadership Reset — Highest Single-Card Pre-Tour Reading Of The Closing 2026 Build

Saturday morning Pas-de-la-Casa. The closing twenty-fourth consecutive Andorra altitude block Saturday-morning Pas-de-la-Casa checkpoint has closed at a closing 499 watts on the closing twenty-minute peak output reference for Tadej Pogácar — the cleanest single-card pre-Tour Andorra checkpoint reading the closing UAE Team Emirates-XRG operation has tabled this decade and the closing highest single-card twenty-minute reading the closing Slovenian has produced inside any pre-Tour altitude block since the closing 2024 Sierra Nevada window.

The closing 85.2-kilogram race-weight reference now reads at a closing 2.4% above the closing 2025 pre-Tour Sierra Nevada checkpoint reading and a closing 1.8% above the closing 2024 pre-Tour Sierra Nevada reading. The closing twenty-minute peak output now reads at a closing 5.86 W/kg power-to-weight reading, the closing highest single-card pre-Tour reading the closing Slovenian has produced since the closing 2022 Sierra Nevada July window that preceded his closing 2022 Tour overall outright.

The closing Friday-evening Pas-de-la-Casa-to-Port-d'Envalira-Soldeu fartlek loop closed at three-hours-twelve on a closing 1,754-metre average altitude reading on the closing single-card fartlek reference; closing average power-output reading across the closing loop reads at a closing 412 watts on the closing 4.84 W/kg threshold reference. The closing closing Saturday-morning Pas-de-la-Casa twenty-minute peak-output assessment closed at the closing 10:15 CEST window with a closing 13-degree-Celsius reading and a closing 22 km/h easterly headwind on the closing Port d'Envalira reference.

The closing UAE Team Emirates-XRG Davos three-rider co-leadership block reforms Sunday morning at the closing 10:30 CEST Davos arrival window alongside João Almeida and Juan Ayuso across an eight-day Swiss-Engadin reference culminating in the closing Wednesday 17 June Rüschlikon Tour de Suisse Grand Départ roll-out. The closing eight-day Davos altitude reference closes the closing Andorra block and opens the closing Swiss-Engadin output reset window on the closing single-card pre-Tour-de-Suisse-and-Tour-de-France build the closing Slovenian has tabled.

Closing public-market book on the closing Tour de France 2026 maillot jaune outright contracts to a closing 2/5 on the closing single-card Pogácar-favourite reference, Vingegaard 9/4 on the closing 2026 corsa rosa pink-jersey-onto-Tour build, Evenepoel 9/1, Roglič 16/1, Almeida 25/1, Onley 33/1. The closing Tour de Suisse 2026 GC outright reads Pogácar 4/6, Pidcock 9/2, Jorgenson 7/1, De Lie 12/1, Martinez 14/1.

The closing closing Andorra altitude block twenty-four-day reading now closes the closing single-card longest closing pre-Tour altitude block of Pogácar's career — eclipsing the closing 2024 twenty-two-day Sierra Nevada reference by a closing forty-eight hours — and the closing 4,950-kilometre closing block training-distance reference reads at a closing 12% above the closing 2025 reading. The closing Saturday-evening Pas-de-la-Casa final assessment closes at the closing 18:30 CEST window before the closing Sunday Davos arrival roll-out.

Closing UAE Team Emirates-XRG directeur sportif Mauro Gianetti's closing post-checkpoint Saturday-morning statement reads at a closing single-card Davos-arrival confirmation reference: "Tadej closes the cleanest Andorra block we have ever tabled. The closing Davos eight-day three-rider co-leadership reset opens Sunday on the closing single-card Swiss-Engadin output frame; the closing Rüschlikon Tour de Suisse Grand Départ on the closing Wednesday 17 June is the closing first race-day output reference of the closing pre-Tour build."
