The Race Is Behind Him TDF21-122
Yet again, I get to use a title that has two different meanings. First, clearly the racing is now behind Tadej Pogacar (UAE Team Emirates) with a unsurmountable lead of over five and a half minutes. And now with this stage win he will also win the Maillot a Pois, and given his age, he is the owner of the Maillot Blanc as well. Just as he did last year. The other race is for second and third in the Tour. As they crossed the line, Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma) added a few more bonus seconds to his second place ahead of Richard Carapaz (Ineos-Grenadiers). With a flat stage tomorrow all the three of these guys have to do is stay upright and finish near each other. But Saturday, the individual time trial could change some placings, but remember Vingegaard was third in the first TT.
