2024 Tour de France stage 9 GC Update: Tadej Pogacar, Remco Evenepoel and Jonas Vingegaard retain podium places after enthralling gravel day
Cycling
Stage 9 of the Tour de France 2024 closed the first week in style, with the celebration of a gravel day that promised a lot of dispute between the favorites for the general classification. Tadej Pogacar started the day defending the yellow jersey over Remco Evenepoel, 2nd, and Jonas Vingegaard, 3rd.
As it turned out, the stage was an outstanding display of cycling at its most enthralling, with a lot of activity from the men in the general classification. Tadej Pogacar and Remco Evenepoel were the stars of the afternoon show in the peloton with multiple attacks trying to test each other and a Jonas Vingegaard who, without being aggressive, was able to solve all the attempts of the Slovenian and the Belgian.
After Anthony Turgis' victory from the breakaway, the men in the general classification came in just over 1 minute later. Tadej Pogacar still holds the lead with a 33-second advantage over Remco Evenepoel. Jonas Vingegaard remains 3rd at 1 minute and 15 seconds over the Slovenian, and Primoz Roglic remains 4th at 1 minute and 36 seconds despite the initial scare of the stage where it looked like the Slovenian would be left behind.
Behind, Juan Ayuso maintains 5th place, Joao Almeida in 6th, Carlos Rodriguez 7th and Mikel Landa 8th. The most notable changes have come through a Derek Gee who climbs 5 positions to 9th, 4 minutes and 2 seconds behind Pogacar. Matteo Jorgenson therefore loses a position and is 10th.

- The UCI do have their favorites.
Front24208-11-2026 - On a positive note, you maybe notice turning this topic into a discussion has the benefit of eliminating certain participants who do not see how they can turn it back to their sole interest ;-)Jumpyjohn08-11-2026
- People see what they want to. I am actually the opposite of your accusation, probably more of a rebel than most of you who don’t get the big picture. The difference is, I don’t go moaning publicly about the consequences of my transgressions, I understand the need for rules and I take my OWN responsibility when deciding to ignore or break them or doing so involuntarily. I will also not hesitate to state my case or argue vehemently when relevant, sometimes it works, sometimes it makes things worse but that’s the price to pay for principles and having character.Jumpyjohn08-11-2026
- That may be but that was unknown to others and nothing says that’s the whole truth. Again, don’t try to misinterpret, it is a call and technically it is correct. Besides, even if there is a valid reason, that does not disqualify the ruling or punishment as far as the rules have been developed. I don’t think they’re as far as in football where for handball there is a distinction (in some ways and specific cases) between intentional or not. And football can be just as harsh and people live with it, eg the offside rule, also judged to within tiny fractions but often wrong or ignored. It’s the nature of every collective organisation and sometimes I wonder if our rebellion against it isn’t seated in the feelings we carry from the injustices we’ve felt personally, like being flashed driving 1km/h too fast when we are explained limits are just a security measure but we are absolutely certain not to have endangered anyone with our transgression. The problem is, nobody has better solutions and no 2 people have the same interpretation of where a limit should be.Jumpyjohn08-11-2026
- Because for you deviated implies the other rider MUST have been made to fall and fail to finish ??? I don’t know if you ride a bike but next time someone carves you up or drives dangerously close, just hold back from those feelings of changing something, reporting or filming or even complaining. Everyone will just say, hey you’re still here undamaged, doesn’t seem like anyone did anything.Jumpyjohn08-11-2026
- And we, what are we doing?Jumpyjohn08-11-2026
- And yet, it attracts people, even you. What’s more, it attracts the rival fanboys to fill cyberspace with endless pointless my hero is better than your hero blabla that’s all been heard before and only helps sell the site as an advertising platform. You know what the solution is but most can’t resist. No different than women who follow and discuss celebs through gossip magazines.Jumpyjohn08-11-2026
- he is doing 460 watts for 35 min to achieve 7 w/kg with VO2 at 96 , just unreal numbers.abstractengineer08-11-2026
- Just do it, and put up with the consequencesJumpyjohn08-11-2026
- "was a headliner at the Tour de France" Nobody cared about Piddie. Only rivals that were there for Pogi, Jonas, Remco, Sexias, Lipo, Del Toro and they were all expected to lose. Piddie was not even in any conversation.abstractengineer08-11-2026
