Winning in Yellow TdF25-87
While most of his rivals recovered well from yesterday's brutal hot stage, Tadej Pogacar (UAE Team Emirates) still was able to put time into every other guy still in this Tour de France. By taking his fourth stage (so far) he added another thirty-six seconds to his lead in the general classification. When Mark Cavendish broke Eddy Merckx's record number of Tour stage wins of 34, he told Pogacar to not break his record too quickly. Today marks his 21 stage wins. It is mathematically impossible for him to set a new Tour record this year, but I see him setting a new one in the next two years, maximum! He was so composed today, that as he crossed the line, he stopped his data collection and then saluted the crowd in victory. It may be a very long Tour for the rest of the peloton.
