GRENOBLE, France: The Tour de France is Primoz Roglic and his Jumbo-Visma team's to lose after defending champion Egan Bernal imploded in spectacular fashion on Sunday, but his fellow Slovenian Tadej Pogacar lies in wait ahead of the final week.
But while Roglic can rely on an awe-inspiring team in the mountains with Tom Dumoulin, George Bennett, Sepp Kuss and Wout van Aert setting a devilish pace on the climbs, Pogacar is often on his own and can only count on his own legs to make a difference. "Pogacar is more explosive, but he doesn't have a team around him and if he's in trouble he won't have anyone to help him," Philippe Mauduit, sports director at French team Groupama-FDJ, told Reuters.Pogacar lost 1:20 when the peloton was split by crosswinds in the seventh stage, and he has been making up for lost time since then, regaining half of it thanks to sharp attacks, notably in the Pyrenees.
