So the French will have to wait another year for one of their countrymen to win the stage on Bastille Day. Today, it went to a Slovenian by the name of Tadej Pogacar (UAE Team Emirates). He jumped cleared of the lone breakaway riders at the summit of the previous climb and then rode the final fourteen kilometers on his own. That does seem to be his style. More importantly he increased his lead over the rest of the field by thirty seconds or more. It is beginning to be confirmed that he will wear the Maillot Jaune all of the way to Paris. There are still eleven stages yet to race, and anything can happen, but he can be defensive for the rest of the Tour and make it near impossible for anyone to gain three-and-a-half minutes or more on this super Slovenia cyclist. No bow to the crowd for this stage, just a "oh snap" gesture after point skyward and to his team's name on his kit.
