Two phenomena above the lot who went blow for blow until the 18th stage and the climb to Hautacam, where the Dane definitively bent the Slovenian, double winner of the Grande Boucle (2020-2021).

Pogacar, who was believed to be on the rails to dominate world cycling for years, fell on stronger than him.

A single failure, in the Col du Granon, was enough to derail it during an 11th stage that entered into legend and was won by the Scandinavian.

Pogacar bows with panache, having multiplied the offensives in the Alps and the Pyrenees, making this Tour more spectacular and undecided than ever.
