Barely 48 hours ago after he had decimated the field in the Critérium du Dauphiné time trial, the tables turned dramatically for Remco Evenepoel as the Soudal-QuickStep star suffered badly on the final summit finish on stage 6 and lost the overall lead.
Evenepoel was unable to respond to the attacks of Tadej Pogačar when the Slovenian opened up the throttle at the foot of the Côte de Domancy. Jonas Vingegaard (Visma-Lease a Bike) was briefly able to hold the UAE Team Emirates-XRG rider's back wheel, for the Belgian, the pace proved too tough almost as soon as Pogačar attacked.
