The yellow jersey of the Tour de France, the Danish jonas vingegaardwas satisfied with having stayed in the lead without losing seconds in Slovenian Tadej Pogacarthat he was attacked several times on the ascent of the Alpe d’Huez.
“For the first day in yellow of my career, it was an extraordinary day. Wearing this jersey is every cyclist’s dream and being able to do it in the middle of so many people is a special thing. “said the Jumbo rider.
Vingegaard made sure his team’s tactics were to strengthen the career, not to seek victory on stage, but to avoid as many attacks as possible.
“The harder the day, the better for me on the last climb. That way it’s less explosive and that suits me better. I’m better off in that situation, when I’m tired, than when everything is fresh and can attack. “
Despite this, Pogacar launched several attacks to which he was able to respond and not waste time at the finish line: “He is very strong, but I am as strong as him.. I was able not to lose time, it was a good day “.
Vingegaard considered the shooting “crazy” to so many fans such as those crowded into the Alpe d’Huez on July 14, France’s national holiday, but acknowledged that it also increases the risk of having a covid.
“There is a greater risk of being infected when the spectators yelled at us in the face. Let’s hope that nobody get infected, it is not the most beautiful way to leave the Tour,” he said.
