A thrilling seventh stage of the Tour de France, the longest of the race, saw a 29-man breakaway and a difficult day for the UAE-Team Emirates team of Tadej Pogacar, the defending champion.
In tonight’s episode Kate Wagner gives us the Tale of Etape and we hear from two riders who were in the breakaway, Brent Van Moer, our audio diarist Victor Campenaerts and Geraint Thomas. We also speak to Marc Hirschi, Pogacar’s teammate, who admits that they “were sleeping” when the break went away and that they made a mistake in allowing such a big group to go clear.
