Tadej Pogačar has shared his Strava file for his ride on today's stage 9 of the Tour de France from which he emerged with victory on the day.
The 21-year-old from Slovenia went over the top of the last climb, the Col de Marie Blanque, in the select group in pursuit of lone leader Marc Hirschi; the 22-year-old Team Sunweb rider who went on an 80km solo breakaway.
When Pogačar sprinted it out with Primoz Roglic (Jumbo Visma) at the top of the final climb, for the time bonus, the select group split and never came back together.
Instead, Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates) and Roglic flew down the climb with Egan Bernal (Ineos Grenadiers) and Mikel Landa (Bahrain McLaren) and caught the solo leader with just over 2km to go.
