Jonas Vingegaard‘s wife, Trine Vingegaard Hansen, has expressed her hope that her husband receives unwavering team support in upcoming races, drawing a parallel to the clear leadership structure within Tadej Pogačar‘s team. Hansen emphasized the importance of a unified team strategy, stating that divided focus on multiple rider goals could divert crucial resources from Vingegaard’s primary objectives. She commended the way Pogačar’s team operates, highlighting the clarity of his leadership and the defined roles of his teammates.
Despite reporting a mild summer cold attributed to fluctuating temperatures and air-conditioning, Pogačar appeared to be in strong form. During the stage, Pogačar actively engaged with his team car, inquiring about the condition of his teammate Tim Wellens and encouraging a positive assessment of his performance.
The cycling calendar includes a rest day on Monday, followed by the 16th stage on Tuesday. This upcoming stage will see the peloton travel from Montpellier to the challenging Mont Ventoux. Pogačar is widely expected to use this stage to extend his overall lead by securing a significant stage victory.
