Jonas Vingegaard holds a commanding ahead of the final week of the Tour de France, but with the Dane reeling from a crash and having lost two key teammates, Tadej Pogacar is taking fresh momentum into the Pyrenees.
Defending champion Pogacar was toppled last week in a grueling Alpine stage after coming under sustained fire from Vingegaard and his Jumbo Visma teammates, but the Slovenian has vowed to fight until the end.
Despite a two minute and 22 second-deficit, the 23-year-old can still hope to win a third consecutive Tour.
