Roglic, Pogacar or someone else? The favorites before the last week of tour
A double Slovenian victory looms in the 107th Tour de France. After 15 stages and 2,648.5 kilometers, Primoz Roglic is 40 seconds ahead of his compatriot Tadej Pogacar in the general classification. Climbers from Colombia look forward to the last week when it climbs more than 2000 meters.
Die Top Ten:
Ranking list: letour
Last year’s winner Egan Bernal (8:25 minutes behind 13th place) has already come out of the decision, and the other climbing specialists from the Andes are also behind. These are the first 4 on the second day of the rest of the tour:
Primoz Roglic
1. the general classification
🇸🇮 30 years, Team Jumbo-Visma
Does the former ski jumper have no weaknesses? The Champion of the Tour was always in control of the situation when he hit the mountain at the Grand Colombier on Sunday. Competitors couldn’t even hurt him on the steep ramps. His first win on the tour is becoming more and more likely. Because the mountains are getting fewer and fewer and in the mountain time trial on the penultimate day after La Planche des Belles Filles, Roglic is more likely to get more time from his opponents.
Tadej pogacar
0:40 min. Behind
🇸🇮 21 years old, UAE team Emirates
The young man is Roglic’s greatest danger, because Pogacar is unpredictable. “All or nothing” is their motto. That could spell disaster for Roglic’s super team, Jumbo-Visma. If he wants to be at the top in Paris, the 21-year-old super talent has yet to give his compatriot plenty of time. More attacks are guaranteed. “At the moment, there seems to be no way to stop Primoz. But maybe a day will come when I show weaknesses, ”Pogacar said. Yet he is alone. Your team won’t be able to help you much.

🇨🇴 33 years old, EF Pro Cycling
The veteran of the Education First team works as usual in the background. Experience is the great asset of uranium. He knows very well how to divide his forces. The Colombian is already competing on the 19th major tour of his career, and has placed in the top ten seven times. His biggest success was second place in the 2017 Tour de France. It seems unlikely that he will arrive in Paris in yellow. You can’t get close to the Slovenians. But a podium is within reach.

🇨🇴 26 years old, Astana Pro Team
The 2016 Tour de Suisse winner is an encouragement. After being knocked down by a spectator at last year’s Giro d’Italia, he returned the favor with a few punches. You also need this temperament on the bike to be able to intervene in the superior fight. So far, the Astana team rider has had trouble keeping up with the Slovenian stars. His hopes must rest on Wednesday’s 17th stage up to 2304m high Col de la Loze. That is exactly his terrain, as at home in Colombia. (ram / sda)
