Primož Roglič's revenge Tour (CyclingTips)

At the team presentation back in Copenhagen, Roglič jokingly bowed to pressure from the crowd and declared his Jumbo-Visma teammate Jonas Vingegaard the team ...

“In the end Jonas was by far the strongest and he won.” Roglič’s younger teammate put minutes into the man who usurped Roglič on the eve of what was supposed to be his Tour de France victory in 2020. Roglič worked in tandem with Vingegaard, peppering the yellow jersey with attacks, forcing Pogačar to chase back on.

Wow, what a stage! In my 30-odd years covering the Tour de France, I can't remember such a dramatic stage in the fight for the yellow jersey.

Roglič had clearly lost the Tour, but his teammate may well have won the Tour. Finally nearing the summit of the Galibier, Roglič faded. Over the Télégraphe, down into Valloire and up the opening kilometres of the Galibier, Roglič and Vingegaard traded punches while Pogačar defended his yellow jersey and even countered.
