CLERMONT FERRAND, France : Pressure seems to slide off Tadej Pogacar like water off a duck's back as the two-time champion heads into the second block of racing in the Tour de France locked in a duel with title holder Jonas Vingegaard.
Overall, Pogacar trails yellow jersey holder Vingegaard by 17 seconds and while the Danish rider remains confident that his advantage should see him win another title in Paris, the UAE Emirates rider believes the third week of the Tour could be his. Pogacar will resume the race without extra pressure, and also a bit wiser than he has been in the past when he would launch long-range attacks and pay a heavy price for some early efforts.
