Despite the exciting, enthralling and incredibly entertaining stage 14 at the
Tour de France,
Tadej Pogacar was unable to crack
Jonas Vingegaard, in fact seeing his deficit extended to 10 seconds. Had a race motorbike not obstructed him as he attempted to claim bonus seconds however, things might have been different.
"I think my first sprint was for nothing, that's a pity," said the
UAE Team Emirates leader in his post-stage interview. When Pogacar made his move for the bonus seconds available atop the Col de Joux Plane, a race motorbike was suddenly in his way, obstructing him and forcing Pogacar to sit back down in the saddle.
