By wanting to go to the support of Jonas Vingegaard, a man did not even realize that he was cut off the road to the yellow jersey, failing to have him drop this Friday, July 25, at the arrival of the 19th short stage between Albertville and La Plagne.
A victory in the Tour de France can be due to little. To a fall for example, like the one ultimately without gravity suffered before the arrival of the 11th stage in Toulouse on July 16. Tadej Pogacar has once again passed very close to the disaster in the Alps during the 19th stage of this 112nd edition. Not in a descent but once the finish line passed to La Plagne once.

While the Dutchman Thymen Arensman (INEOS) had just won his second success of the summer after that won in Superbagnères (14th), the Slovenian yellow jersey (UAE) was preceded by his Danish runner -up, Jonas Vingegaard (Visma Lease A Bike), after almost 20 km of ascension.
It was then that an assistant, visibly focused on the wearer (by proxy) of the polka dot jersey (that Pogacar will also win), tumbled without looking at the general’s leader, giving him a shoulder. Unbalanced, Pogacar has still managed to recover, perhaps avoiding the worst.
