The swords at all heights in the Tour

Date:

After the first nine days of the Tour, we can say that Remco Evenepoel standing on Tadej Pogacar and? Jonas Vingeggard He is better than expected after the conditions in which he trained after a serious accident in Itzulia. There is a tour to give and take.

Remco was the only rider who managed to beat Pogacar, who is still the favorite. The division into the three most important stages then, in the mountain, in Galibier, there Pogacar took 35 seconds from Evenepoel and 37 from Vingeggard, most of them, 80% of them, in the 20 kilometer descent, where he gained almost a second and a half per kilometer for both of them; In the time trial, Evenepoel announced himself as the World Champion that he is and took 12 seconds on Pogacar and 37 on Vingegaard unlike last year, but could still make up a little to finish the Tour better. We have an exciting Tour.

Last Sunday, in the episode of Troyesthe one on the dirt road, where there was a fierce fight: Evenepoel attacked, Pogacar attacked and the Visma as a team and Vingeggar held up well, but defensively, and the game was a draw.

In summary, Evenepoel confirmed his candidacy to compete for the podium, race or whatever is required; Vingegaard is much better than he could be and Pogacar remains consistent Italy is spinning: top favorite and man with the desire and possibility to win the Tour again.

Let’s see, because there are only two weeks left and this week we have three important days: tomorrow, a stage in the central massif, with the last 45 kilometers difficult, but it will be on Saturday and Sunday, with the arrival of the Pyrenees and the high mountains, with finals in Saint-Lary-Soulan and Plateau de Beille. Here we can see more things.

And if that wasn’t enough, last week, the final fireworks: Friday, ends Island 2000on Saturday, with the toughest stage of the entire Tour and final in Col de la Couillole and, in case there was any doubt, Sunday’s time trial was very difficult in the first part and technical with many kilometers down to Nice.

The swords at all heights. There are many more tours left

We didn’t talk about Roglic anymore, because he’s the least of the three. Also highlight Cavendish’s record of stage victories, spectacular and emotional.

We should also highlight the Spanish riders who are among the top ten in the classification: Juan Ayuso, fifth, Carlos Rodriguez, seventh and Mikel Landa, eighth; without forgetting Peio Bilbao, who was 16th.

Rodríguez and Ayuso have podium options, but I think the latter should help the leader, Tadej Pogacar, for many of the remaining stages of the Tour.
