Share Updated at 12.07 BST 9m ago 11.59 BST Doping control have been visiting in the night – Pogacar at 5am and Vingegaard at 2am – he isn’t impressed. If you’re watching at home, in France, or anywhere else, do email in with your thoughts on the Tour so far. I’d love hear from you. Share 11m ago 11.57 BST There’s just one minute 20 seconds between second-placed Vingegaard and seventh-placed Del Toro. But disappearing into the distance is Pogacar. Adam Blythe: “He’s not unbeatable but – it’s easier to find weaknesses in his team than in him.

Robbie McEwen: “I’ve run out of words of advice, we thought [the team] might be slightly depleted but they popped up again yesterday, they’ve got a stranglehold on the race, and it becomes a mental thing for the others.” Matt Stephens:”We haven’t seen any sharp attacks from Jonus so far, what he lacks is that real punch. His favourite terrain is to come.” View image in fullscreen Tadej Pogacar strikes a pose before stage 15.

Milan Fretin (BEL) Cofidis 117 Share 31m ago 11.37 BST William Fotheringham's stage guide Stage 15, Sunday 19 July: Champagnole to Plateau de Solaison, 183.9km South east through the Jura flirting with the Swiss border for much of the stage and two horribly steep climbs in the final quarter: the first category Col de la Croisette is five kilometres at an average of 11% and the super-category finish ascent is 11km at 9%.

This is a mountain stage where the break may stay away, as the overall contenders are unlikely to get moving until the Croisette, 131km into the stage. A pure climber who is not in contention overall should win: why not last year’s Mont Ventoux winner Valentin Paret-Peintre? Share
