Tour de France: Jonas Vingegaard "surprised" that Tadej Pogacar failed to follow him

Jonas Vingegaard is the second in the general classification after the 5th stage of the Tour de France run between Pau and Laruns on Wednesday: “The plan was to put guys in the breakaway, we had three. On paper it was not a step that suited me very well. But on the last climb, I felt like I had good legs. I told Sepp (Kuss) to go forward, and I attacked. I was surprised that Pogacar couldn’t follow me. I wanted to test it out a bit, my legs were really good. I’m super happy with my performance today, to be a minute ahead of him already. If I am now the big favorite of the Tour? I don’t know. We just keep doing our best and we’ll see where it takes us.” Tomorrow, Tadej Pogacar will have the opportunity to catch up with a second day in the Pyrenees between Tarbes and Cambasques.
