Tour de France: Jonas Vingegaard “was too fast” for Tadej Pogacar

Tadej Pogacar, 8th in the 5th stage of the Tour de France run between Pau and Laruns on Wednesday and overwhelmed in the final pass by his great rival Jonas Vingegaard, confided to the microphone of France 2: “(Jonas Vingegaard) was too fast in the ascension (by Marie Blanque, Editor’s note), I tried to hold on as long as possible to the top but he was really very strong. What an attack! We can’t do anything in these cases, when there is someone who is stronger than you on a day like this. We will continue to fight, all is not lost. Training took a bit of a delay this year so I should feel good in the last week normally. It’s a hard blow but it’s the first mountain stage, we’ll see day after day. The objective is clear, there is motivation in the team, we will continue to fight every day, try to make up time. I hope the legs will turn better the last week than Jonas.
