It's not all over, bar the shouting, but almost. Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates-XRG) completed the final major mountain stage of this year's Tour de France firmly in control of the overall classification, and barring major disaster on the last two days of racing, will reach the final finish line in Paris with a fourth overall victory securely in his grasp.
Pogačar did not deliver any last-minute fireworks as the rain and hail teemed down at La Plagne, his one attack halfway up the climb reducing the front group to the four top names on the GC, after which he seemed content to lead at a steady but not relentless pace ahead of Jonas Vingegaard (Visma-Lease a Bike).
