Welcome back to the GCN Racing News Show. With Tadej Pogačar holding a commanding lead at the Tour de France, we’re asking a big question: have Visma-Lease a Bike and Jonas Vingegaard given up on winning? We analyze their tactics from the second week and discuss the signs that might point to a shift in strategy.
We’ll also wrap up all the major action from an eventful second week, including the mountain stages, the time trial, and Remco Evenepoel’s abandon. Plus, we have the results from the Baloise Ladies Tour, where a rising star took the first GC win of her career.
Finally, we pay tribute to Samuele Privitera, the young Italian rider who tragically lost his life last week.
