Stage nine report
Right, and on these bombshells, that’s us done on an immense day of racing (and a pretty immense day of sport in general), which had all manner of narratives. The principal ones being Tadej Pogacar laying down the gauntlet to Jonas Vingegaard, who might just be relieved that his rival took only eight seconds off him at the end. And then there was heartache for Matteo Jorgenson who rode so boldly and so well before the superior climbing smarts of Michael Woods landed him a memorable stage win.
Jeremy Whittle’s stage report will be up very shortly. Thanks for your company and comments. Bye.
