Everyone expected attacks to come on the previous climb, everyone. When they didn't happen, I think everyone in the peloton got a bit 'twitchy' As his teammates Adam Yates (UAE Team Emirates) and Joao Almeida set a hard pace on the front of the group of Tour leaders Tadej Pogacar looked back to see if anyone was looking like they might attack. All he could see was Jonas Vingegaard (Visma-Lease a Bike) and the main worker of Remco Evenepoel, Jan Tratnik (Soudal-Quick Step) sitting there grinding out the rhythm. Had he looked over the other shoulder he would have seen Evenepoel looking both cool and patient. Was today going to be a draw? Or would someone attack for seconds if not minutes?
