Another 7 kilometers
Rodriguez pulls away and takes all the risks on the descent. He takes a nice lead over Pogacar and Vingegaard. Yates needs to leave a hole.
5:44 PM
Another 9 kilometers
Rodriguez and Yates squeeze past the engines and close up.
5:43 pm
Motorcycles are back on the road
Rodriguez and Yates can’t even hook up. Motorbikes drive everywhere and determine the competition image. This can not be?!
5:42 pm
Another 10 kilometers
Pogacar and Vingegaard descend together. Rodriguez and Yates are just 15 seconds behind. Everything is still possible for a day’s profit, in the battle for yellow Vingegaard now has virtually 12 second lead.
5:40 PM
Vingegaard saves three seconds
The Dane takes a three-second time gain at the top of Joux Plane (and makes a case in the mountains classification, for what it’s worth). Vingegaard is slightly faster in the sprint.
5:38 pm
Incredible! Engines stop attack Pogacar
Pogacar tries to attack, but because the bikes are too close to the riders, he cannot attack.
5:36 pm
Kilometers to the top
Rodriguez follows 55 seconds behind the two leaders, but that is already too far away. Vingegaard and Pogacar look at each other.
5:34 pm
Another 13.5 kilometers
Vingegaard drives next to Pogacar. They are almost standing still. Pogacar forces Vingegaard on his head.
5:34 pm
Vingegaard returns
The carrier of the yellow joins!
5:32 pm
Another 14 kilometers
5 seconds is the difference, 2.1 kilometers to the top.
5:32 pm
Pogacar does not drive away
Vingegaard hangs at 4 seconds. Do not forget: on the top there are 8, 5 and 2 bonus seconds finished. So Pogacar can already do business there. He has 9 seconds behind in the standings.
5:30 pm
Another 15 kilometers
What a battle. The gap remains only 3 mere seconds.
5:29 pm
Vingegaard does not give up
Pogacar has 3 seconds, but Vingegaard seems to be fighting back.
5:28 pm
Attack Pogacar! Finger out
Tadej Pogacar attacks 3.5 kilometers from the top, Vingegaard immediately gives up ground. It’s 20 meters.
5:28 pm
Another 16 kilometers
Climb another 4 kilometers. Yates leads the way with Pogacar and Vingegaard in his wheel. Rodriguez drives at 10 seconds, Hindley at 40 seconds, Simon Yates and Pello Bilbao at 1.32 minutes.
5:25 pm
Pogacar gives a signal
He seems to indicate: speed up, Adam. The winner of the stage in Bilbao accelerates and shakes the tree. Only Pogacar and Vingegaard can follow.
5:23 pm
Jai Hindley loses
Another 5 kilometers to the top.
5:23 pm
Another 17 kilometers
Gall needs to leave a hole. Hindley also seems to be having a harder time. Is Kuss accelerating?
