3’26 separate the second, Tadej Pogacar, from the leader of this Tour de France 2022 Jonas Vingegaard. It is to be monitored even if it is almost impossible (except for a huge failure, a fall or a mechanical problem with the yellow jersey).
8 small seconds separate the 6th of General Louis Meintjes from the 5th Nairo Quintana. The battle should be refereed by the 7th, Alexander Vlasov, who are 35 seconds behind Quintana. Much better riding, the Russian could take 5th place in the general classification. On a big day, he could even tickle David Gaudu (4th), who is 3’05 minutes ahead of the leader of the Bora formation.
