He kept looking around, but there was no one there. Like clockwork, Tadej Pogacar climbed up to the finish line in the Isola 2000 ski resort yesterday, then clenched his fists and proudly raised four fingers as a sign of his fourth stage win in this Tour de France. On the 19th stage, the Slovenian once again demonstrated his power, extending his lead over Jonas Vingegaard (Visma) to a realistically unassailable 5:03 minutes in the battle for the yellow card as leader.
Pogacar, who won the Giro and the Tour in France in 2020 and 2021, is now very close to the double of winning the Giro and triumphing in Tour, which Marco Pantani last achieved in 1998. Austria’s Felix Gall had a lot of time to spare, having to let go at the Col de la Bonette, losing 12:06 minutes to Pogacar in the end and dropping from eleventh to 14th place in the overall ranking.
