- Pogacar in control of Tour de France after summit rides
- Closest challenger Jonas Vingegaard refuses to give up
On a day in which French radio described Harry Kane as the “Raymond Poulidor of world football” – Poulidor finished on the podium in the Tour de France eight times, but never won – Tadej Pogacar was, for once, not having to face the usual rest‑day questions about credibility that come with wearing the race leader’s yellow jersey.
Tricky questions were strategically ignored during the Giro d’Italia winner’s online press conference, in which the 25-year-old leader of the UAE Emirates team spent more time waxing lyrical about chocolate brownies rather than responding to questions about record-breaking climbing times.
