Following two flat sprint stages, which haven't always gone entirely to plan for the Tour de France leader, Tadej Pogačar will be called back into action in the GC battle on Friday as he and his challengers for the maillot jaune tackle the race's first time trial.
He's come through stages 5 and 6 unscathed – narrowly avoiding a fall on Wednesday before finding himself without UAE Team Emirates teammates among the mid-stage echelons on Thursday.
