Second break, we passed stage 15 and the blow he gave was spectacular Tadej Pogacar Sunday until Jonas Vingegaard. It is true that in the two stages of the Pyrenees they have been in favor of Pogacar, San Lary with a devastating attack in the last kilometers, where he gained 39 seconds, and the great offensive in Plateau de Beille. Vingegaard chose a very difficult stage, starting with 10 kilometers to go. It paid off for the effort. He played all or nothing, but Vingegaard should also be congratulated. We cannot say that he died with his boots on because the Tour was not mathematically decided, but the situation is that Pogacar completely put the Tour on track in these two stages of the high Pyrenees mountains. Vingegaard is 3’09” behind and in the absence of three difficult days of Friday, Saturday and Sunday, everything suggests that only with the defense of Pogacar can he win his third Tour.
Vingegaard He showed that he had no point. Not just to him, but to himself Visma team, perhaps on the offensive Plateau de Beille lacked another runner on the last climb to do a little more damage, because Pogacar held on well and when he saw that Vingegaard was a little disappointed he opened the gas and made a important difference meter by meter. It was 1’08” seconds at the finish line, plus the bonus.
These two are also a mental struggle, because Pogacar and Vingegaard are two great champions and although the race remains to be seen, except for an explosion from Pogacar, which I do not believe, because I think it will be more conservative in the rest of the Tour, we see more efficiency, which we predicted small. It must also be said that Vingegaard is better than I thought after very serious accident in Itzulia. They are two great champions, we are enjoying it and we have the rest of this last week, where we will continue to see match for match for episodes.
Movistar team He has been very good these past few days and Enric Mas He had a chance, but in the Tour nothing is given and you fight for everything. This is the Tour of records.
It is also worth highlighting the performance of Remco Evenepoel and its confirmation in the Tour de France. Sunday was an important day, the second day of the high mountains, and Remco was there, behind two great Tour riders; consolidated its position in third place, at 5’19”, but now the rest, Almeida, Landa, Adam Yates, Carlitos Rodríguez, Ciccone, which is next in the general standings, is quite far away. Also highlight two Spanish runners, Mikel Landa which is the 5th Carlos Rodríguez, which is 6th, but in that fight to stay in the top5 of a general classification. Landa is watching Evenepoel for the general classification, but he is in great physical condition. Maybe Carlos Rodríguez had a pretty typical day, because there are many differences in the Plateau de Beille, differences from other times, very animal, between the first in the general standings. That’s why I said it’s a Tour of records. It reminds me of the era of Hinault.
At this stage the final opinion will be on Monday the 22nd when this exciting event comes to an end. Tour de France.
