Starting the day just 10 seconds behind
Jonas Vingegaard in the battle for the Maillot Jaune,
Tadej Pogacar has now slipped to 1:48 down after his rival's stunning stage 16 victory at the
Tour de France.
"I couldn't do anything more, I was flat out," the
UAE Team Emirates leader said in his post-stage interview. The Slovenian still finished second, 1:13 quicker than third-placed
Wout van Aert, something that on any other day would've been an incredible ride. Sadly for Pogacar and his legion of fans, Jonas Vingegaard was just simply on another level.
