SAINT GERVAIS, France: Jonas Vingegaard and Slovenian Tadej Pogacar shadowed each other on Sunday before they face a highly-anticipated individual time trial which the Danish defending champion will start with a 10-second advantage after a rest day.
On a 179km trek featuring three first-category climbs, Vingegaard and Pogacar put their teams to work but let a large breakaway go after a massive pile-up, signalling they would not go for the stage win and the bonus seconds that go with it, a day after another epic round in their fight for the title.
"Today is a tie. It was a good day, although three of my team mates crashed," said Vingegaard, whose team mates Sepp Kuss, Nathan van Hooydonck and Dylan van Baarle hit the deck with others after one of the Jumbo Visma riders was put off balance by a spectator. He never looked back and crossed the line 2:08 ahead of Van Aert for his first victory in a grand tour with France's Mathieu Burgaudeau taking third place, three minutes off the pace.
