After securing the yellow jersey by leading the time trial, Tadej Pogačar faces challenges for maintaining his lead. He currently holds a 42-second advantage over Remco Evenepoel and 1:13 over Jonas Vingegaard. Despite this, Pogačar believes the current gap is temporary and expects tough competition in upcoming stages, particularly the hilly sixth stage with its six climbs. The focus of UAE Team Emirates-XRG is to have the yellow jersey at the finish in Paris, preparing strategies to handle any potential breakaways.
"I think the gap is temporary, we will see some fights in the next days, maybe even already tomorrow and the next days."
"UAE Team Emirates-XRG have made it clear already in this race that their goal is to have yellow in Paris, and anything along the way doesn't especially matter."
