Another rest day in the yellow jersey and another carefully curated interaction with media at the Tour de France for Jonas Vingegaard. Like in Clermont-Ferrand a week ago, Jumbo-Visma again opted against making Vingegaard available for a press conference in Saint Gervais on Monday, preferring instead to release a short video interview with the Dane in the early evening.
Tadej Pogačar, who held his usual rest day press conference in mid-afternoon, might have pressed ahead in any notional contest for the Prix Orange [prize for the most likeable rider -ed] by now, but Vingegaard remains in front in their duel for the Tour itself, carrying a slender lead into the final week of the race.
