Tadej Pogacar may have failed to make significant ground on Jonas Vingegaard on Wednesday, but he has another chance to make a big impact on Stage 18.

Tadej Pogacar (UAE Team Emirates) roared to a thrilling Stage 17 victory on Wednesday, but Eurosport's experts have said he now needs to throw everything he has left at Jonas Vingegaard's (Jumbo-Visma) overall lead if he is to claim Tour de France glory once more. Pogacar, who is seeking a third-successive triumph at the Tour this year, still trails Vingegaard by 2'18" in the general classification ahead of the all-important Stage 18 on Thursday despite his heroics on Stage 17.

“Fair play to them, they really took it on” said Geraint Thomas, after he was dropped on Stage 17 of the Tour de France, losing more time to yellow jersey holder Jonas Vingegaard and defending champion Tadej Pogacar — who won the stage. The 2018 winner still sits a comfortable third in the general classification, but he is now 4’56” back from the leader with three competitive stages to go — before the traditional procession to the Champs Elysees for the GC. Ad/> UAE Team Emirates riders Mikkel Bjerg and Brandon McNulty led a superb breakaway which Thomas was not able to live with, and McNulty guided Pogacar into a position to put down the throttle with 300m to go — eventually beating Vingegaard to the stage win.
