After clinching his milestone 100th professional win in stage 4 of the Tour de France at Rouen, it almost went unnoticed that Tadej Pogačar also regained the overall lead of of the mountains classifications on Tuesday. But the UAE Team Emirates-XRG racer's return to the polka-dot jersey will be hard to miss on Wednesday's time trial - and it could have a small but potentially important effect on his performance, too.
Entering stage 2 as mountains leader, Pogačar and UAE then deliberately allowed teammate Tim Wellens to clinch the sole point on offer in the competition on stage 3, in the fourth-category Mont Cassel.
