Jonas Vingegaard (🇩🇰) struggled today, finishing +1’21” down in 12th, while Primož Roglič (🇸🇮)** came home 7th, +1’19” off the pace.
White jersey drama too — as Evenepoel’s win means Kévin Vauquelin surrenders the best young rider’s jersey.
A landmark ride for Evenepoel, a Maillot Jaune switch for Pogacar, and time losses for both Vingegaard and Roglic — this Tour is heating up fast.
