Dropping Some, Chasing Others TdF23-27
Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma) used the climb up the Col de Marie Blanque, his teammate Sepp Kuss, and his own abilities to drop most of the contenders in this Tour. Most importantly, by the summit of the final climb of the day, he had put a minute into his main rival, Tadej Pogacar. Now he had three or four guys yet to chase down in hopes of taking the stage. In addition to stage honors, should he catch those ahead, he will pull on the Maillot Jaune of Tour leader. There are other ways he can claim the Yellow Jersey without winning the stage, but that all depends on how the guy at the front of the race, Jai Hindley, finishes out the stage.
