Tadej Pogacar is on his way to becoming the second youngest rider in history to win the Tour de France by bike.
The Slovenian cyclist beat the penultimate time trial decisively. Not only did he recover the 57 seconds that he had at a disadvantage for his compatriot Primoz Roglic, yellow jersey at the entrance of stage 20, but he also won one minute and 56 seconds in the 36.2 kilometers starting from Lure and reaching the top of the La Planche des Belles Filles.
Pogacar, only 21 years old, left the entire competition for more than a minute. Tom Dumoulin was second at 1 minute and 21 seconds, followed by Richie Porte, who, at the same time, climbed to third place in the general classification by exchanging with Colombian Miguel Ángel López, who fell three positions.
Tadej Pogacar turns 22 next Monday, the day after the most likely consecration in Paris, where he starts 59 seconds ahead of Roglic, fifth in the time trial.
The youngest cyclist in history to win the Tour was Frenchman Henri Cornet, aged 19 years and 352 days in 1904.
