'Supreme' Tadej Pogačar has blown The Tour to pieces | Is the race over already?

By Eurosport

Brad and Graham Willgoss look back on another day for books as the Tour de France enters the Alps and Tadej Pogacar seizes the Yellow Jersey with what Brad calls a "sheer display of dominance".


In a torrid stage of pouring rain that saw action at every turn and the peloton splattered across the road, Dylan Teuns took a solo win to make it two in two for Bahrain Victorious, with Pogacar fourth.


"I can't see Pogacar faltering or losing his form," says Brad. "Having said that, anything can happen in the Tour."


While the 2020 winner "bounced back and stuck to 'em" to displace Mathieu van der Poel in the overall lead, GC hopefuls Geraint Thomas and Primoz Roglic were definitively dropped early on after a fierce pace was set on the first climb – and the race never let up.


"They went from the gun," says Brad. "This Tour has delighted us with race action. The rule book is out the window. It's like kids' racing just watching it. It's quite something."


Brad also has praise for Wout van Aert's performance to remain second on GC.


"Wout, come on man," he says. "You've got to start looking at the overall now. There's a podium in it."
