Short of a big turnaround in the mountains, Jonas Vingegaard will surely win a second Tour de France title after obliterating Tadej Pogacar in the individual time trial on Stage 16. Almost nothing separated the big two in the general classification in the opening two weeks – but at the start of week three, Vingegaard put down the statement performance of the entire race, perhaps his whole career.

Wout Poels made his move to perfection to win Stage 15 of the Tour de France – a summit finish on Mount-Blanc. Jonas Vingegaard maintained his 10-second lead in the general classification as he fended off moves from Tadej Pogacar in the last kilometre. Monday sees the final rest day of the Tour before the race returns on Tuesday with an individual time trial.
