The two tour dominators are currently only available in a double pack. Leader Jonas Vingegaard and rival Tadej Pogacar don’t let each other get ahead. When Pogacar launched the expected attack on the final climb of stage 15 to Saint-Gervais Mont-Blanc Pogacar with 960 meters to go to make up the 10 seconds in the general classification, Vingegaard immediately followed suit. It remains glued to the rear wheel of the Pogacar.
After the failed attack, Vingegaard also tries for the last corner just before the finish. Same picture: this time Pogacar doesn’t give him a chance to get away. Standoff ahead of the last week of the Tour, which kicks off on Tuesday with a mountainous time trial.
Stage winner because of Mäder († 26) almost in tears
The second scene of the 15th stage: Wout Poels (35, Ho) celebrates a solo stage with a lead of more than two minutes between the numerous prominent breakaways. At the start of the stage, Stefan Küng (29) also tried to get into the leading group, but the Swiss was caught again.
Poels, who drives for the Bahrain Victorious team, is almost in tears in the winner’s interview when he talks about his teammate Gino Mäder (†26), who died exactly one month ago.
Annoying spectators and motorcycles
The stage took place without the two bikes blocking Pogacar in an attempt to attack in Saturday’s clash against Vingegaard. The organizers of the tour expelled the photographer from the newspaper L’Equipe, the cameraman from France Télévisions and the two pilots for yesterday’s stage and fined each of them 500 euros.
But others cause problems. Once again there is a massive fall in the early stages of the stage. Unlike Saturday, the reason is not the wet road, but a spectator who, with a movement of his arm, unseats Vingegaard helper Sepp Kuss (28), who is riding in the front of the field – and many others with him. The viewer was probably filming. He can’t get away with it either. Fortunately, unlike the previous day, all fallen can continue as usual.
