Day by day, stage by stage, Tadej Pogacar cuts off the time when the leader of the race, Jonas Vingegaard he is brought before the general classification. The runner from Slovenia, given fireworks and cheering fans, finds it difficult to control himself at times, but as a good predator he knows when and how to wait for his prey, except on a bad day. he last year in Col du Granon which Vingegaard took advantage of to rise to a leadership position that he would not relinquish.
