Is the Tour de France already over? Short answer: No. But Pogačar’s serene passage over the cobbles, while most of his rivals – particularly Jumbo-Visma – were in complete disarray, doesn’t bode well for a healthy GC challenge cycling
On stage five of the 2014 Tour de France, a wet and wild jaunt over treacherous cobbles on the way to Arenberg, Vincenzo Nibali effectively sealed his first and only overall triumph at the world’s biggest bike race.
Tadej Pogačar, who proved earlier this spring that he’s no slouch on the cobbles, had broken away from the main bunch alongside one-day star Jasper Stuyven. Shortly after Jumbo-Visma’s headless chicken comedy routine, Roglič was right on time for his annual appointment with disaster. The three-time Vuelta winner – as susceptible to horrendous misfortune as he is to producing unwavering displays of dominance – crashed into a wandering hay bale and dislocated his shoulder. While he was able to pop it right back in, with the help of a spectator’s chair, the Jumbo-Visma train had already left the station, with Vingegaard in tow.
Nibali’s classic show on the cobbles in 2014 is a case in point, so is Pogačar’s long-range escape to Le Grand Bornand last year. Heroic historic rides, certainly, but the Tour is 21 days of racing, not just one. Three of his big rivals sustained serious blows today – Roglič is now over two minutes down on his compatriot; O’Connor is over four minutes back; Haig is out.
