FOIX, France :Tadej Pogacar went on the offensive as promised but was never in a position to unsettle Tour de France overall leader Jonas Vingegaard in the first of three key mountain stages on Tuesday.
Time is running out for defending champion Tadej Pogacar as Jonas Vingegaard maintained his advantage over the UAE Team Emirates rider with just five stages to go in the Tour de France.
Tadej Pogacar (UAE Team Emirates) promised to attack in the final week of the Tour – and the Slovenian two-time champion was true to his work with no fewer than four pulsating accelerations on the penultimate climb of Stage 16 as the Tour de France entered the sweltering foothills of the Pyrenees on Tuesday. Race leader Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma) was able to close each of his rival's attacks while Geraint Thomas (Ineos Grenadiers) rode back in contention on the final descent as the top three riders of this Tour came home together in Foix almost six minutes after Canada’s Hugo Houle (Israel-Premier Tech) took an emotional win.
Tadej Pogacar (UAE Team Emirates) believes it would be risky to still trail Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma) come the Stage 20 time trial as the Tour de France begins its final week. Vingegaard holds a 2’22” lead over two-time defending champion Pogacar heading into Tuesday’s Stage 16, a hilly 178.5km ride to Foix from Carcassone. Ad/> What follows are two mountain stages, a flat Stage 19, and an ITT for Stage 20 before the processional Stage 21 on Sunday.
Tadej Pogacar has vowed to “give everything” and not “have any regrets” as he looks to overhaul Tour de France leader Jonas Vingegaard.
CARCASSONNE, France : Jonas Vingegaard holds a commanding ahead of the final week of the Tour de France, but with the Dane reeling from a crash and having lost two key team mates, Tadej Pogacar is taking a fresh momentum into the Pyrenees.
Philippa York has slammed Primoz Roglic's decision to withdraw from the Tour de France and questioned the Slovenian’s appetite for competing in cycling’s biggest event. Jumbo-Visma announced the news on Sunday, with the 32-year-old failing to deal with a back injury he sustained following a crash in stage 5. Ad/> York believes the announcement has become far less palatable, with Roglic due to defend his title at the Vuelta a Espana in just under four weeks’ time.
When the elastic finally snapped and Jonas Vingegaard powered clear of the man in yellow on the Col de Granon, Jumbo-Visma’s troubles a week earlier on the cobblestones of northern France seemed a world away. If Vingegaard was the only rider to trouble Tadej Pogacar in last year’s Tour with a little dig near the summit of Mont Ventoux, this clinical attack – which came after a constant barrage of pressure throughout Stage 11 – marked the time the Slovenian superstar cracked for the first time in his short but illustrious career.
