This is the first of two days of the weekend marked to have changes in the general classification of Tour de France and there has been. Tadej Pogacar has strengthened its leadership after its success in fourteenth stage of the race, where he won the stage of Tourmalet after attacking the last climb to Pla d’Adetalready in the Pyrenees.
That movement, which the UAE Emirates worked on with Adam Yates as another key component, allowed Pogacar to bring Jonas Vingegaard to the finish line by 39 seconds (43 total after bonuses) and 1:10 to Remco Evenepoel (1:16 after bonuses). Undoubtedly, a real coup in the days in which the debate about the patron of the Tour, after Vingegaard’s victory over Pogacar on Wednesday, seems hidden.

The general classification undergoes important changes in terms of times, because Pogacar is more of a leader. Also an outstanding one in terms of positions, as Vingegaard overtook Evenepoel and took second place. However, no one can be careless because another very difficult day awaits this Sunday in the Pyrenees, with a fifteenth stage with four first-class ports such as Peyresourde, Menté, Portet d’Aspet and Agnes and high end in a special category port like Plateau de Beille. It will be 197.7 kilometers starting in Loudenville and ending at another mythical peak.
