Opinion: First blood to Tadej Pogacar in bid for Tour de France hat-trick as Jumbo-Visma put up a good fight
Filippo Ganna, Wout van Aert and Tadej Pogacar all leaving the start gate one after the other was always going to provide the key pivot for Friday’s opening 13.2km time trial – although Jumbo-Visma duo Primoz Roglic and Jonas Vingegaard had already got their respective Tours off to an assured start in what proved to be fairly treacherous conditions in Copenhagen.

Against the Netherlands she began in the middle but dropped into the backline in the second half and against Switzerland she operated from the back. Wiegman has made the most of this trio of preparation games to try to find the fit for her captain. Williamson was handed the armband after performing well in defence early in Wiegman’s tenure and impressing the manager more generally.
