The other three Slovenes in the race are Matej Mohoric (Bahrain-McLaren), Luka Mezgec (Mitchelton-Scott) and Jan Polanc (United Arab Emirates).

Pogacar’s company

Tadej Pogacar dominated the time trial arriving at La Planche des Belles Filles and achieved a masterpiece by winning the yellow jersey of the Tour de France 107 at age 21. The Little Prince also wore the yellow jersey and the polka dot jersey, it remains to be determined who will wear the green jersey but Sam Bennett is clearly the favorite over Peter Sagan given the considerable lead on the eve of the final split. Pogacar’s comeback has rightly entered the history of the Tour de France, the dream of the young Slovenian was to participate in the Grande Boucle and instead he will never forget his first yellow jersey, which he will wear on the podium in Paris. With him on the podium, his friend-rival Primoz Roglic and Richie Porte, who after years of bad luck managed to conquer their first podium at the Grande Boucle.
