COL DU GRAND COLOMBIER, France: Ineos-Grenadiers will need to go back to the drawing board if they are to stand a chance to win the Tour de France next year following defending champion Egan Bernal's spectacular failure on Sunday ., a terrifying 17.4km climb at an average gradient of 7.1 per cent, losing 7:20 to stage winner Tadej Pogacar and his fellow Slovenian and overall leader Primoz Roglic.
The tables have turned, however, as Roglic's Jumbo-Visma team took up that role, leaving Dave Brailsford's squad hanging for dear life. "Riding the Route d'Occitanie, the Tour de l'Ain and the Criterium du Dauphine, it was mission impossible, especially this year," he said. He also added that the team were lacking the tactical nous of former sports director Nicolas Portal, who died of a heart attack earlier this year.
