LONGWY – After the disastrous cobblestone stage, the puzzle to win the Tour de France suddenly consists of many more pieces for Jumbo-Visma. Ways are being sought to give Tadej Pogacar a twist, but for the time being the two-time Tour winner does not make a sound. In the sixth stage, the Dutch top team with jersey wearer Wout van Aert used a remarkable tactic, but in the end it was pogi who won the stage at Longwy and took the yellow. Was this a masterstroke or ‘suicide’ of Jumbo-Visma?
