The Tour de France is in full swing and the battle between Jonas Wingegaard (Jumbo) and Tadej Pogacar (UAE) is closer than ever. It was seen on stage 6 this Thursday that Vingegaard wants to give Pogacar another lunge, taking him out of contention for the race win, but the Slovenian cyclist was superb: he always responded to Vingegaard’s attacks, showed him the wheel several times and let him wear. With 2.8 kilometers to go, he launched a powerful attack and left the Dane on foot. Pogacar won the stage 24 seconds ahead of Wingegaard and 1.22 minutes ahead of Tobias Johannessen (Uno-X).
Portugal’s Rubén Guerreiro (Movistar), who turned 29 this Thursday, finished 4th with a time of 2.06 minutes and scored important points for the mountain jersey. Jai Hindley (Bora) was 6th, at 2.39 minutes, and lost the yellow jersey to Wingegor’s body – he has a 25-foot lead over Pogacar. Rubén Guerreiro is 30th overall, Nelson Oliveira is 71st and Rui Costa is 81st.
