Jonas Vingegaard and Tadej Pogacar resume their battle for the yellow jersey on this year’s final mountain stage. Join John Brewin
Everything is possible. Tadej, he had one bad day and lost the yellow jersey, so we need to put the pressure on and see if Jonas has a bad day. It’s one of the hardest stages in this year’s Tour. Tadej has good legs, we all feel confident and good that we can try to do something.A third and final day in the Pyrenees, and a last chance for Tadej Pogacar to land a blow ahead of Saturday’s time trial.
A path well known but not necessarily well travelled on Le Tour, the Hautacam has serious history. The last winner on its peak was Vincenzo Nibali, who rode in the yellow jersey into Paris, while its most famous day was in 1996 when Miguel Indurain, the winner of five consecutive Tours, crackedcracked Jan Ullrich, taking four minutes from the big, friendly giant.
NB: Such is this Tour’s attrition that O’Connor and Roglic are long gone from the peloton. Instead, they will be aiming for this year’s Vuelta.
