LAUSEN, Switzerland – Champion Tadej Pogacar said on Saturday that he was concerned that COVID-19 could wreak havoc on the Tour de France this year when the Slovenians grabbed the leader’s yellow jersey after Stage 8.
The Belgian driver, Wout van Aert, won the coronavirus-infected Lausanne method, and Pogačar finished third. Pogakar’s UAE team, Norwegian Begard Stakellenjen of the Emirates and Frenchman Geoffrey Bouchard of AG2R Citroen withdrew the virus-positive, leaving Peloton under the clouds in the Jura region.
“It’s a big panic, the epidemic is still with us and we can’t take the risk of competing with it,” said the 23-year-old two-time defending champion.
“We test every day, but Veggard got sick at night, really, it’s worrying. All the fans are running and screaming on the side of the road, but sometimes I think that’s the reason.
“He’s a platoon of our team,” continued the Slovenians of Fahl Langen. “The big guy that takes us, but I think we can go to Paris without him.”
Jumbo Wismar Van Art is ahead of Australia’s popular Michael Matthews. He won the climb, followed by Pogasar.
This was a second-round win for Van Art, who finished second in the first round in Denmark, ahead of Fabio Jacobsen (149) of Quickstep Alpha Vinyl and Pogassar at 264 in the sprint rankings. I raised it to the point. 128.
Matthew van der Paul, Van Art’s main rival, fell from behind Proton before the attack.
“It would have been more dignified to beat Matthew, but I can only beat those who are there,” said Van Art, a big star alongside the 2022 Tour de France Pogacar. Pogačar, who arrived
Seat, Van Art left and paused shortly before putting his hand in the sanitary gel and putting it in his mouth.
“Winning a bike race is never easy. Winning on the stage of the Tour de France is never easy. Today I have to find a way to thank the team for helping me.”
Pogačar also won a 4-second bonus in 3rd place, topping Jumbo Dan Jonas Vingard at the top of the leaderboards by 39 seconds. Let’s follow the pullback
