As a local saying goes, the pig seems in the corn. Understand, the carrots are now cooked for Tadej Pogacar (UAE Team Emirates). The Slovenian has definitely cracked on the slopes of Hautacam, 4.4 kilometers from a summit where his rival Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma) won the 18th stage of the Tour de France alone, Thursday July 21.
The diabolical attack from the Dane, helped by his inexhaustible teammate Wout van Aert, proved decisive. With more than three minutes ahead of the double winner, we do not see how the yellow jersey could come down from the square shoulders of Vingegaard by Sunday.
