What a stage we have lived in! There was an escape of ten cyclists, of which there was a Spanish cyclist, Cristian Rodríguezand a Movistar rider Nelson Oliveira. They did very well and the peloton and the leader didn’t worry too much, they let it go until the end. There is a fall that is lost Van Aert and then it goes down.
The peloton reacted in the last kilometers, in the last race, and the logical thing happened, what we all expected, Pogacar attacked and Vingegaard responded.
The stage winner is French Vauquelinbut the winner is Vingegaard, that he stuck to Pogacar’s wheel, both in the climbing meters where the Slovenian attacked, and when he forced him down. For the luck of this Tour, it is very, very important. Pogacar will notice it and definitely on Tuesday at Galibier Vingegaard attacks from a distance, he will not wait for the most difficult slopes.
Today Vingegaard He’s not only endured but he’s been relieved and for me that means he’s in a position to compete with him in the Tour. This is a very important fact for the end of the Tour. This was a warning that Pogacar was not going to have an easy time, so now the doubts that I and many people had about whether Vingegaard could withstand an attack from Pogacar are somewhat removed.
Today we experience a very important moment for the future of the Tour. If Galibier passes on Tuesday, look for Vingegaard to win his third Tour.
This Monday’s stage, 230 kilometers, is the longest. Logically, since there is already a lot of difference, there will be breakaways, but the sprinter teams must make sure that their fastest runners can compete on the stage.
