After all of the incredible work by Tadej Pogacar's (UAE Team Emirates) Brandon McNulty, Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma) was wondering why Pogacar hadn't attacked. With just a kilometer and a half to race, he pulled up along side his main rival to look hard into his face. He must have been trying to decide if Pogacar didn't have the legs or was feinting before launching a vicious attack (not that there was much road left with which to gain any serious time). Vingegaard must have felt a bit more confident because he slotted himself between the two UAE men. That way, if Pogacar went he would have to come around the Maillot Jaune. He did finally go, but yet again, Vingegaard was able to get on his wheel straight away.
