Tadej Pogačar has said he "totally accepts" anti-doping regulations if they are "necessary to prove that we are riding clean" after he was tested in the early hours before stage 15 of the Tour de France.
The UAE Team Emirates-XRG rider and yellow jersey said that this year has been "very strange" with testing, culminating in he and second-placed Jonas Vingegaard being woken up for tests on Sunday morning, mid-race.
