Maintaining TdF26-97
As the peloton containing all of the race favorites climbed the Ballon d'Alsace for the second time this Tour de France, it seems everyone was comfortable to maintain their positions in the general classification. The group a was being led by the UAE Team Emirates trio of Isaac Del Toro, Felix Grosschartner, and Tadej Pogacar in his Maillot Jaune. Next in line were Jonas Vingegaard (Visma-Lease a Bike). He is wearing the Maillot a Pois on loan from Pogacar since he is in second place in the competition for the King of the Mountains title. Vingegaard is looking back to his teammate the American Sepp Kuss. I wonder what the conversation was about. It is usual Kuss who sets up an attack for Jonas, just as Del Toro does for Tadej.
