‘We were comfortably in yellow, but I was tired’
Pogacar said rivalry with Vingegaard less intense
Tadej Pogacar admitted that his own creeping fatigue was perhaps his biggest threat during the Tour de France this year, particularly after he had built a four-minute lead on Jonas Vingegaard following the race’s three stages in the Pyrenees.
Speaking in a brief press conference after his fourth Tour win, Pogacar said: “We were in the lead and we had quite a big gap, so we were comfortably in yellow, but yeah, I was tired in the last week.
“For now, I don’t want to speak about what went wrong,” he added, “but for now I want to enjoy this moment with the yellow jersey in Paris.”
