Tadej Pogacar: "There will be more opportunities in the next two days"

“It wasn’t such a bad day. In any case, it was hard to make differences in this stage. I tried to attack in the downhill but it hasn’t really worked out. I didn’t manage to attack Jonas. He was well escorted. Things changed when Rafal Majka broke his chain because he setting a high tempo. After that, I found myself with the Jumbo-Visma riders who received the help of Van Aert from the front group. Climbs will be longer in the coming two days. There will be more opportunities for attacking.”
