24KM TO GO: ALL TO DO FOR POGACAR
The GC group of around 11 riders has just gone over the top of the Ornon with a 3’45” deficit. It’s hard to know whether the breakaway will hold on or not. They are a strong uphill fighting force, but the attacks have not yet come from behind.
Evenepoel still has two Red Bull team-mates, plus a man up the road, so he’s in a good position. Decathlon has Aurelien Paret-Peintre with him and two up the road, so Paul Seixas has bodies with him, too.
Pogacar is down to just Grossschartner and Del Toro, while Ayuso and Skjelmose are about to have Pedersen and Vacek as well as Gee-West after they sit up on the descent.
