MORZINE, France : In 1989, Greg LeMond won the Tour de France by a mere eight seconds over Laurent Fignon in a nail-biting finale but this year's edition might well provide an even closer ending as Tadej Pogacar and Jonas Vingegaard are locked in a classic battle.
Carlos Rodríguez (Ineos Grenadiers) took advantage of the GC leaders watching each other to win Stage 14 of the Tour de France, as Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo Visma) emerged from his Alps showdown with Tadej Pogacar (UAE Team Emirates) having made the smallest of possible gains in the battle for the maillot jaune. Together as they came to the top of the final climb, the hors categorie Col de Joux Plane, which came with bonus seconds for the first three riders, Pogacar tried to attack Vingegaard but was impeded by motorbikes, which were themselves slowed by the thick corridor of spectators.
Eco-anxiety, climate doom, environmental existential dread - as green journalists, we see these terms used a lot - and often feel them ourselves.
Without a doubt Spain is one of the most popular holiday destinations among Brits. Whether it’s a relaxing holiday in the Canary Islands or a city break in Barcelona, it has something for everyone.
Defending champion Jonas Vingegaard held on to the overall lead of the Tour de France after a skirmish with Tadej Pogacar on the Grand Colombier mountain on Friday.
Tadej Pogacar (UAE Team Emirates) admits Jumbo-Visma's tactics on Thursday were «strange to see» after watching his rivals throw everything at getting a rider in the day's breakaway. With Jonas Vingegaard in the yellow jersey, and three big days in the mountains to come, it was perhaps surprising to see Jumbo-Visma so committed to animating Stage 12 from the off – with Wout van Aert, Wilco Kelderman and Tiesj Benoot all enjoying sustained stints off the front. Ad Such was the unrelenting and furious nature of the start that Vingegaard was forced to ride aggressively to put out fires his team-mates could not, potentially depleting his energy stores.
On the French national holiday of Quatorze Juillet the race enters the Jura mountains for a summit finish on the fearsome Grand Colombier (17.4km at 7.1%) where the then defending champion Egan Bernal cracked in 2020. The sport’s landscape has changed dramatically since Bernal last rode the Tour, with Tadej Pogacar, Primoz Roglic and Jonas Vingegaard dominating the battle for yellow ever since. Still somewhat short of his best, Bernal will hope at least to bury his demons on what will be the first GC showdown of the second week.
Tom Pidcock (Ineos Grenadiers) is «stuck» between pursuing a high overall finish at the 2023 Tour de France and chasing stage wins, according to his team-mate Luke Rowe, who backed the British star to fight for a podium spot. Pidcock wrote off his own hopes of winning the yellow jersey before the first pedal stroke, claiming he was «not good enough» to challenge Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma) and Tadej Pogacar (UAE Team Emirates) this year. Ad Yet he has avoided incident and held his own in the mountains to sit eighth in the general classification after 12 stages, albeit 5'26" back on leader Vingegaard.
