Tonight (Saturday) a tremendous drama provided the 20th and penultimate section of the Tour de France 2020, when the Slovenian Primoz 'Roglic managed to lose the yellow shirt in the race against the clock and in fact crowned his compatriot Tadi Fogchar, who won the section himself and became the column champion even before Age 22 and his first participation.

The last segment tomorrow on the Champs Elysees will no longer change anything.



Fogchar finished the race against the clock from Llor to La Flanches de Bill Phil in a time of 55:55 minutes, with Roglich coming just fifth and a minute and 56 seconds behind him, completely erasing the 57-second advantage he held during the week and putting him behind. 59 seconds from first place in the overall ranking.

Belgian Tom Dumoulin finished second in the section and Richie Fort third.

"I do not know what to say, it's a dream," Fogchar exclaimed at the end, not only with the yellow shirt but also with the leader's polka dot shirt thanks to 82 points.

"Getting the yellow shirt on the last day, that's what we dreamed of from the beginning. I knew every corner of the track, all thanks to my team's work."



Fogchar's achievement becomes even more enormous in light of the fact that this is his first column.

Since Laurent Pinion in 1983 he has not been a rider who has won a column on the first attempt, and two days before his 22nd birthday he is the youngest to win the prestigious race in France since Henry Corne who was 19 and 355 days old when he won somewhere in 1904.

Apart from that, the Slovenian is also the first ever to win in the scoring of both the climbers and the youngsters.

All the work went down the drain.

In the Israeli sector, Guy Niv finished the section against the clock after 1:06 hours and this should guarantee him a place in the final section in Paris tomorrow.

"I had a lot of concerns, I will not lie, but now I can say that Paris is closer than ever," Niv said afterwards.

"Overall I rode well."



Overall ranking (after 20 segments):



1. Taday Fogchar (Slovenia, Emirates) 84:26: 33 hours


2. Primoz 'Roglic (Slovenia, Jumbo-Wisma) 0: 59+ seconds


3. Richie Port (Australia, Trek-Sagapardo) 3: 30+ minutes


4. Mikel Landa (Spain, Bahrain-McLaren) 5: 58+ minutes
