HAUTACAM, France :Jonas Vingegaard put the hammer down on the Tour de France on Thursday, extending his lead massively with an awe-inspiring victory in the final mountain stage as defending champion Tadej Pogacar's all-in strategy backfired.
It may well be the moment that comes to define this Tour de France; a simple handshake between two fierce competitors after one of the most astonishing sequences in recent history.
Denmark’s Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma) emulated his compatriot Bjarne Riis in 1996 with a remarkable solo victory at Hautacam in the Pyrenees to strengthen his vice-like grip on the yellow jersey in Stage 18 of the Tour de France. The 25-year-old cracked Tadej Pogacar (UAE Team Emirates) with the help of Belgian teammate Wout van Aert after the indefatigable green jersey’s latest display of dominance in a breakaway that almost went the distance in the enthralling 143.2km ride through the Pyrenees.
Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma) proved he was a “true champion” in waiting for Tadej Pogacar (UAE Team Emirates) in a “quite remarkable” act of sportsmanship at the Tour de France, according to The Breakaway gang. Vingegaard slowed down to let Pogacar latch back on during the final descent on Stage 18 after the Slovenian crashed while trying to put his rival under pressure.
Jonas Vingegaard showed class when he waited for defending champion Tadej Pogacar after a fall, before going on to beat his Slovenian rival by over a minute on the Hautacam mountain on stage 18 of the Tour de France on Thursday.
HAUTACAM, France : While Tadej Pogacar won the last two editions of the Tour de France mainly through his individual talent, his likely successor, Jonas Vingegaard, has relied on a formidable team and the jaw-dropping performances of Wout van Aert.
Jonas Vingegaard took another giant step closer to securing the Tour de France title by winning Stage 18 following a superb solo finish on Thursday.
A handshake from Tadej Pogacar to Jonas Vingegaard showed gratitude for a moment of great sportsmanship but could yet double as the defending champion’s concession after Vingegaard moved to the brink of Tour de France glory on Thursday.
