After a couple of forays, it was Matteo Jorgenson (Visma-Lease a Bike) that went on the Col de la Croix Saint Robert. Since he started the day in fifth place Tadej Pogacar (UAE Team Emirates) had to chase him down. And since he went, Jonas Vingegaard, Jorgenson's teammate, had to stay glued to the wheel of the Maillot Jaune. This trio, as well as the group just behind, were now just over six minutes behind the early breakaway. I thought (and everyone else did, too) that these forays would lead to a big attack from Vingegaard. It hasn't come yet, and with about twelve kilometers and two climbs to go, I am beginning to think it may not come today at all.
