Tadej Pogacar and Jonas Vingegaard put on a dominant display, leaving the pack far behind before battling it out for the stage win
Jonas Vingegaard kicks for home first, and Pogacar responds – the two GC leaders are in an uphill sprint for the line! It’s the defending champion who prevails, getting back ahead of his rival just before the line. A psychological boost for Pogacar, but aside from the loss of four bonus seconds, Vingegaard has done enough today.McNulty finally drops off and Pogacar pushes for home – but both leaders look like they’re moving in slow motion on this brutal final stretch ...
McNulty looks a broken man at the front of this leading trio. Pogacar is up on his heels, looking back and front. The gradient is about to hit 16% ... it’s crunch time.The virtual GC has Thomas more than four minutes behind Vingegaard, with Quintana and Gaudu in the top five, but now more than seven minutes back. The gap between the race leader and Pogacar is 2min 22sec; if the Slovenian can even make a dent in that, he’ll see that as a good result.
