‘They were a bit annoying with all the attacks’ – Tadej Pogačar provoked by Visma into late surge after ceding Tour de France yellow jersey to breakaway

Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates-XRG) has called Visma-Lease a Bike’s repeated attempts to isolate and crack him during stage 10 of the Tour de France “annoying”, with the world champion responding to every single one without faltering.

Matteo Jorgenson was the instigator of several moves in the final 10km, but Pogačar barely gave him a centimetre on each occasion, before growing sick of the jabs and throwing a hook of his own on the final climb, which only Visma’s leader Jonas Vingegaard could follow.
