Tadej Pogacar has said he hopes Ben Healy “feels tired” ahead of the duo’s upcoming battle over the yellow jersey, after the EF Education-EasyPost rider became the first Irishman in 38 years to wear the maillot jaune.
Healy came third in a punishing Stage 10 through the Massif Central that was won by Britain’s Simon Yates, with Pogacar finishing in ninth on the day, and the Slovenian now trails Healy by 29 seconds in the general classification.
