‘They do this a lot’ – Tadej Pogačar responds to pushing incident with Matteo Jorgenson, but UAE and Visma downplay tension

Such is the size of the Tour de France, every micro-incident involving the key favourites is analysed to the maximum, with the latest being Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates-XRG) appearing to push Matteo Jorgenson (Visma-Lease a Bike) at a feed zone during the seventh stage to Mûr-de-Bretagne.

It was all the talk at the start of the eighth day in Saint-Méen-le-Grande, with both the World Champion and Visma’s key lieutenant to Jonas Vingegaard responding after footage was shared several times on social media late on Friday.
