If it wasn't already clear on the Col du Tourmalet that Tadej Pogačar is in a league of his own at this year's Tour de France, he and a rampant UAE Team Emirates-XRG made sure it was as obvious as ever on the road to Le Lioran, dominating nearly the entire final 100km to deliver their peerless talisman to another triumph.
The one rider who has beaten him at the Tour in the past and could have been able to match him was among those well beaten on Tuesday. Even Jonas Vingegaard had no answers to Pogačar's inevitable attack on the Col de Pertus, or when it was mano a mano on the uphill drag to the finish.
