When Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates-XRG) is in the yellow jersey at the Tour de France, as he has been for 40 days of his career so far, he usually wants to keep it, and has reason to be fairly confident that he can.
However, after pulling on jersey number 41 in Caen on Wednesday evening, somewhat unusually he was soon talking about losing it, even as early as on stage 6.
