Tadej Pogacar of the UAE Emirates team solidified his lead in the 2024 Tour de France with a commanding win over Jonas Vingegaard at Pla d’Adet ski station. Pogacar, a two-time Tour winner, impressed with a strategic attack that extended his lead to nearly two minutes. His teammate Adam Yates played a crucial role in setting up the victory, demonstrating the team's unity and strength. The Slovenian's dominance over Vingegaard in the mountains has put him on course for a potential Giro-Tour double. In contrast, Ineos Grenadiers struggled in the tough race, losing key riders to illness and falling behind in the overall rankings. Despite challenges from other contenders, Pogacar remains the favorite for victory, with Evenepoel targeting a podium finish. The race continues to be unpredictable, with riders battling not only each other, but also external factors like Covid-19.
