The Tour de France has reached the last day of rest before tackling the Pyrenees and the expected time trial on Saturday, 40 km long, which will decree the winner of the Grande Boucle 2022, celebrated as always in Paris the following day.
Jonas Vingegaard is the brightest on the climb and simply has to manage a large advantage (2'22 ") over Tadej Pogacar , who appeared in recovery after the technical knockout suffered on the Col de Granon. The yellow jersey, however, lost two teammates precious as Primoz Roglic and Steven Kruijswijk. Now the Jumbo Visma-Uae Emirates match is played in perfect equality (6vs6).
Pogacar, in a press conference, said: " I have to take all the opportunities and attack as soon as possible, on every climb. Attacking from close, from afar, I will try everything. Because I have a considerable delay to catch up. There will be opportunities, in three days many things can happen. We are all starting to get tired, physically and mentally, but I am very motivated. Jonas (Vingegaard ed) is the man to beat, he is super strong ".
Vingegaard, who ended up on the ground in Sunday's stage, replied: "I'm fine, I only have abrasions on my left arm. It stings a little but it's normal, there is nothing else to fear. It will be a great fight with Tadej. but also with the other riders placed in the general classification. I will have to remain vigilant on each stage so as not to be surprised. But I am very relaxed, mine is already a satisfying Tour de France with my overall performance and my stage win. "
Tuesday 19 July we start with Carcassonne-Foix and the last gpm, Mur de Peguere , 27 km from the finish.
On Wednesday I arrive in Peyragudes with four gpm, on Thursday we arrive in Lourdes Hautacam : another arrival at high altitude after having climbed the Col d'Aubisque and Col de Spandelles.
A race that we have tried to interpret and tell you the best of it through our broadcasts on YouTube and Twitch, and we will continue to do so until Sunday.
