New blow for Tadej Pogacar. After losing Laengen and Bennett due to covid a few days ago and the late arrival of Marc Soler on Tuesday, the Slovenian loses a new teammate with Rafal Majka. The Pole has been suffering from his thigh since his mechanical problem in the climb of the Mur de Péguère on Tuesday.
With this new abandonment, Pogacar has only three team members: the riders Mikkel Bjerg and Marc Hirschi as well as the climber Brandon McNulty. The Slovenian’s task will not be easy to dislodge Jonas Vingegaard from the yellow jersey and he will have to manage on his own anyway…
