Cycling exhibition in Cauterets-Cambasque. The sixth stage of the 2023 Tour de France, which had a 145-kilometre mountainous route starting in Tarbes, launched a new chapter in the dispute between Tadej Pogačar and Jonas Vingegaard.
On the day of last Wednesday, July 6, it was the Dane who launched an attack that left the Slovenian without reaction.

The Dane, together with his gregarious Sepp Kuss, had put pressure on the Col du Tourmalet – still with 50 km to go – to leave the peloton on the road, including the Australian Jim Hindley, who could barely sustain the pace 500 meters. But Pogacar this time responded to Vingegaard’s offensive and stayed in the fight.
