2023 Tour De France - Part 2

Ten seconds, that’s the difference between the number one and two in the overall standings, Jonas Vinegaard and Tadej Pogacar. Although Tadej and the UAE team tried on several climbs this week, Jonas turned out to be a tough cookie. He held on and fought back. He has surprised me. I also expected a bit more from Pogacar.

There was that blocking incident with the motorcycle from the French television, which could have given Tadej more seconds on bonification. Let’s hope this incident will not decide the tour of 2023.

The exciting fight continues on Tuesday with a time trial and two more mountainous stages in the final week. I anticipate some gutsy riding from Pogacar. We may even see Jonas on the attack too to break the Slovene mentally.
