the danish Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma), fifth in Wednesday’s stage and second overall, gave a good blow to his biggest rival, Tadej Pogacaraway at 53 seconds overall, but the Slovenian was already pointed “never give up and there will be a fight until Paris”.
“I just felt so relieved and decided to attack. I got a good time from Tadej Pogacar and other rivals, but I know Tadej, he is a runner who does not give up and we will have a fight until Paris“said the 2022 Tour winner at the finish line.
Vingegaard, withering his attack within the group of favourites, emphasized his team’s tactics from start to finish, leaving the responsibility of controlling the peloton to Pogacar’s UAE. In the end, Sepp Kuss’ contest was the key to his attack.
“We didn’t have to pull the group, UAE did and that was good for us. On the last climb I had a good feeling and told Sepp Kuss to take the lead to start tightening, and that’s what he did. Then I attacked and achieved the goal set”, he concluded.
