Rivals impress but Pogacar still boss ahead of Tour defense
A few weeks ago, Jonas Vingegaard and Paul Seixas were lighting up the cycling world and making fans dream of an epic Tour de France battle to come, and then Tadej Pogacar reminded everyone who is the boss.
Vingegaard has been in the form of his life this year, taking part in three stage races and winning them all convincingly.
French prodigy Seixas has been sensational all year, performing at a level never seen before by a teenager.
But then Pogacar, 27, turned up at the Tour of Switzerland and crushed the opposition, which included former Giro d’Italia winner Richard Carapaz, over five days in such emphatic fashion that he might also have killed off the faint hopes of his few genuine Tour de France challengers.
