The times of the overall leaders had already been taken around 50 kilometers before the finish, so that everything else served the show and the fight for the day’s victory. But with a tour of D’Honneur, in which the overall leader is no longer attacked, the spectacle on the famous hill above the French metropolis didn’t have much to do. Pogačar did not spare himself and fought passionate attacks in front of the frenetic Paris viewers.
The Belgian all -rounder Woout van Aert celebrated the day victory on Sunday. The Italian sprinter Jonathan Milan cheered – even without a chance of a day’s victory – in the green jersey of the best driver. Pogačar also grabbed the dotted mountain jersey, which Jonas Vingegaard was allowed to carry.
On the side of his Cologne noble helper Nils Politt, Pogačar celebrated on the traditional tour d’Honneur before the start of the 132.3 kilometers towards Parisian triumph arch. The end of the last tired -looking Pogačar also came to the end. After the penultimate stage, he spoke of another “level” when it comes to hardness. Pogačar had recently praised Lipowitz in the highest tones: “I think we will see a lot of him in the next few days and years,” said the exceptional driver after the German appearance in the Pyrenees.
