What stage have we experienced this? Friday, July 19 at the Tour and who is the runner and how is he? Pogacar. It has been wonderful. The stage, as might be expected, was highly contested and in it Pogacar gave another performance. He doesn’t get tired, but I hope he wins Jorgenson, because he had a stunning stage and was the strongest in the breakaway of the day. He deserved to win, for the effort and commitment and for the kilometers he covered.
I want to highlight Mikel Landa. I take my hat off to the performance he puts on Tour de France and how he supports and works for his leader, Remco Evenepoellet’s not forget that in his first Tour de France he was third overall and doing well.
Now the runners of The Movistar team They wanted to show up, but they couldn’t. Enric Mas He wanted to be with the best, but he couldn’t. For other Spaniards, Carlos Rodríguez He struggled and couldn’t keep up with the best, losing time to Mikel Landa; Meanwhile he another Rodríguez, Cristian, of the Arkéa team, is on break again and has become the main character.
We experienced a team fight, between Visma Lease Bikes and the UAE Team Emirates. Among the group Jonas Vingegaardwhich led two cyclists, and one from Tadej Pogacar, who controlled the group of the best and set the pace. In the end, the U.A.E He has escaped from here.
After what we saw today, everyone thought Pogacar would be a Tour vendor, except for the odd one out. For the rest, it was a total battle, with many escapes, where the leader’s team worked well and then the leader himself responded well.
Pogacar has already won, he has widened the gap on his rivals and only two stages remain to win his third Tour.
Tomorrow, the mountain stage has four first-class climbs and we face another very difficult stage, but it will be the penultimate one. Another great day to enjoy cycling before arriving Nice on Sunday with the time trial. Let’s see if Pogacar He also wants to win one of the two remaining stages.
What surprises me is how fresh he is in the stages, as if he did not make a significant effort, without the appearance of suffering.
