At the 199.2km long hill station, the big group seemed to have little interest in recovering the lead, and it was not until the bottom 50km that the time difference slowly narrowed from more than 9 points, and finally the young French player Kevin Vauquelin, who played for Arkea-B&B Hotels, flew solo to the finish line to win the championship, not only achieving the first victory of the Tour de France in his career, but also allowing the Arkea-B team to win after 11 years and 191 single races. Finally, the team won the first Tour de France in its history, and the French driver won the single race for two consecutive days.
What everyone is most concerned about is the competition between Pogačar and Wengegaard, which unfolded in the bottom 10km, and the two left the big group to rush out, and once again caught each other, which is equivalent to a direct showdown, and the victory or defeat depends on their current situation.
After all, with Wengegaard having a serious crash before, it was really risky to face Pogacha who was in good shape alone, but the two were inseparable, and finally the two made a pit stop together, and it seems that Wengergaard's condition is better than everyone imagined.
Although it was officially announced that Pogačar would take over the yellow jersey, the top four included Pogačar of Team Emirates, Team Quick-Step Team Efinepoel, Team Wisma Team Vingegaard and Team EF Team Carapaz.
▲ "It feels so good to wear back into the yellow shirt. Pogačar smiled happily, after all, the last time he wore a yellow shirt was the 11th leg of the 2022 Tour de France.
▲According to the Giro d'Italia model, Pogačar put on the GC championship jersey after the second stop, but the interesting thing is that the second difference between the first four people is 0~ It seems that Wengegaard's condition is also recovering well, Pogačar should not be able to win as easily as the Giro d'Italia.
Speaking after the race, Pogačar said: "After the second uphill of the lap to San Luca (1.9km, average gradient of 10.6%), he decided to test his condition, Wengegaard immediately followed, I was not surprised, and they cooperated, and finally Ephenepoel and Carapaz followed before the finish. Then I will look at it day by day and proceed according to the plan"; Vingegaard said he is happy with where he is and hopes it will be a good start to the three-week campaign.
