The Attack Comes TdF24-60

It was inevitable that Tadej Pogacar (UAE Team Emirates) would attack on the steepest section near the top of the Puy Mary Pas du Peyrol. But that didn't mean that the others were going to be able to go with him despite knowing it was coming. Jonas Vingegaard (Visma-Lease a Bike) and Primoz Roglic (Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe) tried their best riding shoulder to shoulder to stay within sight of the Maillot Jaune. A little further back was the Maillot Blanc of Remco Evenepoel (Soudal-Quick Step) struggling to keep all three men in his sight. It was only 600 meters to the summit, but the intensity of the attack and the Slovenian's expert descending skills meant that catching Pogacar back was going to be very tough.
