Yesterday’s stage from Tarbes to Cauterets delivered the perfect blend of anticipation and excitement. Jai Hindley’s impressive performance catapulted him into the yellow jersey, while Jonas Vingegaard executed some remarkable maneuvers. Tadej Pogacar, the defending champion, and his UAE Emirates teammate Adam Yates were left contemplating their strategies. While Vingegaard is in a strong position to retain his Tour de France title, Hindley’s tenacity suggests that this race is far from decided.
As we eagerly await the challenges that lie ahead, today’s stage takes us through the awe-inspiring Pyrenees, with the formidable Col du Tourmalet serving as the pinnacle. This mountainous terrain presents the riders with a true climbers’ assignment. In addition to closely observing the responses of Pogacar and Yates, we anticipate notable performances from exceptional climbers such as Giulio Ciccone, currently sitting in an impressive third place overall, as well as Ben O’Connor and Krists Neilands. With a neutralized start at 12:10 BST and the race commencing 15 minutes later, there is plenty to keep our eyes glued to the action.
