Team Bahrain’s Dylan Teuns of Belgium celebrates as he crosses the finish line at the end 8th stage of the 108th edition of the Tour de France cycling race, 150 km between Oyonnax and Le Grand-Bornand, on Saturday.
LE GRAND-BORNAND: Defending champion Tadej Pogacar soared into the Tour de France overall lead on Saturday on an Alpine stage won by Belgian Dylan Teuns as British outfit Ineos’s hopes were again battered. UAE’s Slovenian leader Pogacar finished fourth, around a minute behind Teuns, but took another three minutes out of his most credible rival Ineos’ Ecuadorian Richard Carapaz. Overnight leader Mathieu van der Poel went into a trademark ‘all or nothing at all’ meltdown and looks set drop out of the Tour as promised and jet off to Tokyo to contest the mountain bike gold.
