Defending champion Jonas Vingegaard had scored a blow to his chief rival earlier this week when he caught him on Wednesday’s climbing stage and then beat him at the finish. However he was on the back foot on Saturday, trailing in 39 seconds behind. Slovenian Tadej Pogacar of UAE Team Emirates in action during stage 14 of the 2024 Tour de France.
