Very sad and heartbreak cycling legend Tadej Pogacar is finally gone due to…….

came down to a sprint finish between the two in Le Lioran but for once Pogacar came off second best in such a scenario as defending champion Vingegaard took it by half a wheel.

 

That was after Vingegaard clawed back the 30-second lead Pogacar had built after his attack on the Pas de Petrol, some 30km from the finish of this 211km stage from Evaux-les-Bains to Le Lioran.

 

Vingegaard remains third overall after Remco Evenepoel fought his way to the line to keep second place, but the win shows the Dane’s form is where it needs to be in his first race since suffering horrible injuries in a crash in the Basque Country in April.
