‘Tomorrow suits me better’ – Jonas Vingegaard adamant he can still win Tour de France despite setback in Pyrenees

Jonas Vingegaard knew Tadej Pogačar was going to rip the Tour de France apart on the upper reaches of Pla d’Adet on stage 14, but this time he couldn’t stitch it all seamlessly back together. The general classification is now tailored altogether more comfortably for Pogačar, even if Vingegaard remained bullish about his prospects of snatching the yellow jersey off his back by Nice.

“I did a good performance, so I don’t think I can be disappointed in that, but of course it’s disappointing to lose 40 seconds,” Vingegaard said when he emerged from the Visma-Lease a Bike bus long after the finish. “I mean, we just have to take the good things from here, that I did another good performance. And tomorrow is another day, maybe a day that suits me even better.”
