It was the penultimate but decisive stage, the penultimate day of the three-week Tour de France. The mountain time trial looked like a painting for Primoz Roglic, the Slovenian in the yellow jersey. But what happened next was historic.
O-Ton Marcel Kittel “He misses the course in the last 36 kilometers. That is very bitter, but at the same time incredibly strong from Pogacar. That was already clear, but it is so strong that at minute 21 the runner-up and even more to Roglic. So cheeky, mega impressive, impressive. And with that the Tour victory is clear.
This Sunday, Tadej Pogacar, 21, will be the first Slovenian winner of the Tour de France in Paris. Deep down, the yellow jersey was too heavy a burden for Roglic.
O-Ton Marcel Kittel “You really saw how it had already started, somehow it really didn’t go in, it really felt such a hard step, and when he got on the road bike of his time trial bike again changed, I really got the impression that nothing was happening, he was sitting very rigid on the bike, he did not find that rhythm.
In today’s 21st and last stage, the yellow jersey is traditionally no longer attacked. There should be another massive sprint on the Champs Elysees. For the drivers, the entrance to Paris is a kind of show, the teams take advantage of the night before for a nice and pleasant meeting.
O-Ton Marcel Kittel “Traditionally, some teams also have a burger night, for example. So they all have a cook with them and then the cook really knocks you out with a delicious homemade burger, for example. Often times the pilots of races may also wish for other things, a delicious dessert. And then they go to the Champs Elysees the next day. “
The 107th Tour de France reached the finish line. She was under observation from the beginning and therefore will make history on the tour.
O-Ton Marcel Kittel “It was definitely a special tour, not only for Corona, but also in general because of the sports highlights that we saw at the end with a super strong Roglic, generally super strong Slovenians. And a crazy finish now in the mountains. I think in the end they didn’t promise you too much.
From the German point of view, they expected more in general. In the general classification, no driver appears in the top ten. After all, Lennard Kämna won the day, and Kämna was also the best German driver at the end in 34th place.
