Tadej Pogacar (UAE Team Emirates) admitted after Stage 2 of the Tour de France that his recovering wrist is still «sore», but also hailed a «perfect situation» that sees UAE in yellow through Britain's Adam Yates. After Sunday's opening stage win saw Yates take the Tour's first yellow jersey, Pogacar captured bonus seconds on Stage 2 to already put him 11 seconds ahead of General Classification rival Jonas Vingegaard (Team Jumbo-Visma). Ad With murmurs of discontent emerging from the Dutch team after Vingegaard seemed to eschew giving Wout van Aert the support he needed in the Stage 2 final, it's all looking rosy in UAE's garden, even if Pogacar did sound a note of caution over his fitness.
