Just as Jonas Vingegaard calls his wife Trine on top of Col du Granon to announce that he is the new jersey wearer in the Tour de France, Tadej Pogacar arrives to congratulate him. Firm handshake, tap on Vingegaard’s thigh. Smiling, as the Slovenian does everything smiling. Still unzipped in his yellow jersey. The yellow jersey that will soon be on Vingegaard’s shoulders. In just over 150 grueling kilometers from Albertville to Col du Granon, the young Danish leader with his Jumbo-Visma team turned the Tour de France upside down.
