Led out by his teammate, Tadej Pogacar (UAE Team Emirates) opened up the sprint for the stage win. Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma) did get the inside line and opened up a gap on the Maillot Blanc with about 500 meters to to. Then Pogacar found that burst of speed that has served him so well for so long. And off he went to win the stage. Vingegaard shook his head at the speed of his adversary and let him go. Felix Gall (Ag2r-Citroen) got around the Maillot Jaune in the final meters to claim second on the stage. While Pogacar gained six seconds on Vingegaard, but since he needed almost eight minutes it was more a morale boost than it was a time bonus. So while Pogacar won the stage, it is Vingegaard who will win the Tour at the end of the day tomorrow. All he has to do is finish the day somewhere near the rest of the peloton in Paris and he will win the Tour. Pogacar will win the Maillot Blanc of best young rider. And today it was decided that Giulio Ciccone will win the Maillot a Pois.
