Although the Tour de France already seems firmly in Tadej Pogacar 's hands, Visma Lease a Bike believes it can turn the situation around. Speaking during the first rest day of the Grande Boucle, Matteo Jorgenson, teammate of captain Jonas Vingegaard, said: " Jonas is truly convinced he can beat Tadej . That's something I really admire about him," Jorgenson said. " We believe in it too, and it's truly fantastic to see how determined he is riding . We could have supported Vingegaard a little better on the Tourmalet if we had managed to join the breakaway in the early stages of the stage, but other teams prevented us from doing so."
At the moment, Tadej Pogacar is in the yellow jersey with a 2'42" lead over Vingegaard , but the Dane will try to close the gap, starting from the tenth stage, which we will follow tomorrow with a live reaction on our YouTube channel starting at 2:30 PM. Don't miss it!
