After Tadej Pogačar took complete control of the Tour de France in the first week, even some of the best riders in the world have been forced to concede already that he is simply in a league of his own, with Tobias Halland Johannessen – sixth place overall from last year's Tour – describing him as "just a freak of nature."
For Johannessen, who is ranked as the 20th best rider in the UCI rankings, sits 11th overall heading into stage 10 of the Tour, and has finished in the top six of three stages already, the Slovenian is already out of sight in the race for the yellow jersey.
