3 HC climbs tomorrow and 2 on Friday...but there's no indication that Vingegaard can crack Pogacar.

I know. They keep saying Vinegaard is looking better every day but he still can’t get away from Pogacar. I kind of think Pogacar didn’t go all out on Mont Ventoux because of the stage tomorrow. It will be a fun route tomorrow.

Pogacar has done his bit to win it. Vingagaard would have to grab it from him. No need for Pogacar to be reckless. But there is that fun little psychological game where he tends to hint that he's got more if someone wants to go.

12 k to go, two TVL riders in the Gr. Malliot Jaune setting pace. I suspect that the play here is they set pace, and Vingagaard is making the read on whether he feels Pogacar is vulnerable to attack.

I suspect he takes a shot with 5-6k to go and either Pogacar matches (seems likely) or the Tour blows up.

Yates and Narvarez from UAE driving the Gr. Malliot Jaune. Hard to see Vingagaard getting a shot to attack to much profit. If so, TVL will take their puncher's chance tomorrow.

But it isn't clear the opening will even come.

Pogacar with the flourish in case there was any doubt.

He is the better cyclist this year by far. He answers every challenge/attack. I will have to watch the replay when I get home. Reading the tour ticker is fun, but they just don't include everything. Thank you for keeping us updated too.
