‘It’s very far from over’ – Robbie McEwen sees Tadej Pogačar as main rival for Jonathan Milan in Tour de France green jersey battle

Jonathan Milan (Lidl-Trek) might be secure in the green jersey of points classification leader at the Tour de France, but three-time points champion Robbie McEwen has said the battle is “far from over”.

The Australian sprinter, who won 12 stages of the Tour and took home the green jersey in 2002, 2004 and 2006, named race leader and non-sprinter Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates-XRG) as the Italian’s major rival for the jersey, which is traditionally the reserve of sprinters.
