He Tour de France you win going up and down too, and what happened in the fourth stage ofhe is the Tour de France This is a good example of that. He fourth round of the Grande Boucle this Tuesday is marked in red in the route book of Tadej Pogacar. Slovenian has already tried the state form of Jonas Vingegaard andn the climb to San Luca and this Tuesday I had to measure the strength of Vingegaard in the first serious test in the high mountains, including climbing the Galibierof special category, and in a fast and technical descent of 18.9 kilometers in Valloire. A scenario where Pogacar He again became the best to win his second stage in this edition of the race and once again reigned on the throne of the race.
The stage profile lends itself so that the UAE Team Emirates is corner Vingegaard and the rest of the great rivals The final podium is nice. A short stage, 139.6 kilometers, with two second category climbs in a row and the climb on the last part of the route to Galibier (22.9 kilometers of climbing with an average slope of 5% and ramps of 10%.
The race at this point broke down, with the runners hanging out their tongues and a Oier Lazkano (Movistar Team) who freed himself at the head of the race before being overtaken at full speed by the group of celebrities. U.A.E He started really straining the machine, waiting for Pogacar to yell to attack. First is Politt, but they are Almeida and Ayusor the one who knocked out Pogacar’s rivals.
Enrique Mas is 25 kilometers from the finish line, with 6.4 kilometers left to climb, and gradually only the strongest can withstand the climb. criminal rhythm of the UAE. The leading group gradually lost units until only eight remained, and that was eight. The harbor arch is approaching and Pogacar He didn’t attack. Vingegaard I didn’t lose detail of everything that was going on, until last kilometer of the ascent to the Galibier, In the latter part, as he did in San Luca, Pogacar launched a big attack.
decisive moment
Vingegaard He held on well at the start and was able to follow him, but after the first few meters the Slovenian pulled away, until he reached the top first. Galibier with a six second margin on the Dane, time added to eight bonus hours. Behind them was a dizzying descent. If in San Luca Vingegaard held on, in Galibier the leader of Team Visma could not follow the wheel of Pogacar, who gave a lesson on how to descend a high mountain pass.
At 90 km per hour, negotiating curves with great skill, Pogacar crossed the finish line with 35 seconds to spare Remco Evenepoel. And the relegation, the Belgian, Juan Ayuseither, Primoz Roglic and Carlos Rodríguez lThey reached the level of Jonas, who probably wasn’t happy and probably didn’t want to force the machine with fresh memories of terrible fall in Itzulia.
Pogacar’s blow to the Tour, now leading the general classification with a 45-second margin over a Evenepoel who passed the first mountain test with flying colors and 50 out of Vingeagaard, with up to three Spanish cyclists in the top ten: Ayuso 84th), Rodríguez (61st) and Landa (7th). Time will tell how important these 45 seconds are in front of the overall standings for sure.
