A towering Jonas Vingegaard has inflicted a heavy defeat on his great rival Tadej Pogacar in the 110th Tour de France.
The Dane won Tuesday’s individual time trial in Combloux by a wide margin and impressively defended his overall lead on the 16th stage. Vingegaard was 1:38 faster than second-placed Pogacar, increasing the gap to the Slovenian to 1:48. Vingegaard has held the yellow jersey since stage six.
On Wednesday, the king’s stage to the Col de la Loze is on the agenda. The 17th stage, which has 5000 meters of altitude difference, could lead to a preliminary decision in the duel for overall victory between Vingegaard and Pogacar. The section on the 166 kilometers between Saint-Gervais Mont-Blanc and Courchevel is considered one of the most difficult in the Tour of France.
