The day when everything can change has already had its first episode. As the breakaway began to make its hole at the front of the 17th stage between Saint-Gervais Mont-Blanc and Courchevel on Wednesday, the white jersey and 2nd in the general classification Tadej Pogacar fell at the foot of the Col des Saisies (1st category) after only 15km of racing. The Slovenian, crushed by Jonas Vingegaard during the stopwatch on Tuesday, was then driving at a speed of 22km / h according to the official data of the Tour de France.
On the images of the fall of “Pogi”, it appears that the double winner of the Tour touched the wheel of Nans Peters (AG2R Citroën) just in front of him, causing him to fall. After that, Tadej Pogacar, slightly hit in the leg, was quick to get back into the peloton but remained at the back of it for a long time. He will have to cross 4 listed passes during this queen stage, including the terrible Col de la Loze (HC) where the Slovenian will try to make up time on Jonas Vingegaard.
