Pogačar's Teammate Sacrifice

During a crucial stage near Alpe d'Huez, Pogačar signaled for Del Toro to attack while Remco Evenepoel followed. After a kilometer, the Tour leader took over pace-setting duties, ultimately riding 60km from the Galibier.

Pogačar's selfless act meant he gave up becoming the first rider to win two consecutive days at Alpe d'Huez, choosing instead to support his teammate's bid for the podium and young rider classification. This sacrifice has raised questions if he'll make similar sacrifices for João Almeida in future stages. forestarrow.help
