After Thursday's stellar performance, Tadej Pogačar has shown us that the race for the Maillot Jaune is well and truly on. Stages seven, eight, and nine of the Tour de France 2023 will provide us with the full complement of racing parcours starting on a Friday with a flat stage and it's safe to say, after such a brutal last two stages, the riders will be looking forward to a break from the climbs.
After disappointment on stage four, Mark Cavendish and his Astana teammates will be looking to try and stop the Dominance of Alpecin-Deceuninck and Jasper Philipsen on stage seven. A fast finish into Bordeaux will be the third opportunity for the Brit to scribe his name into the history books as he looks for the magical 35th stage win.
