Magnus Cort Nielsenone of the most attacking riders since the start of the Tour de France in Copenhagen, was rewarded for his efforts and his audacity by winning the tenth stage of the Grande Boucle in Megève.
“Magnus Cort Nielsen is probably the rider we have seen the most on the offensive since the start of this Tour, analyse Cyril Saugrain. He wore the polka dot jersey, he defended it, and today he was on the attack again to get this stage victory. He is one of the strong men at the start of the Tour de France.”
Tadej Pogacar won the sprint of the peloton of favorites with a few meters ahead of his rivals and managed to keep the yellow jersey with an eleven-second lead over Lennard Kvne, present in today’s breakaway. But what about the strategy of the opponents of the UAE Emirates team?
“I don’t always understand her! s’amuse Cyril Saugrain. It is even Tadej Pogacar’s opponents who, by their attitude in the last kilometers, cause Lennard Kämna to lose the yellow jersey, when Tadej Pogacar had not asked for anything. And it’s not the first time we’ve witnessed this scenario: his team is rolling, it gets up a little bit, and behind, everyone is sprinting hard. And he finished again ahead of his opponents. Today, there are no breaks or bonuses, but I find that it is not very well run.”
