Tadej Pogačar has appeared fatigued during the final week of the Tour de France, not winning any stages and looking off his top level. Despite this, he maintains a significant lead of four and a half minutes. Pogačar acknowledged the Tour's difficulty, calling it among the toughest he has experienced. He noted the consistent intensity of the race, stating, 'Every year we say it's the hardest Tour ever,' emphasizing the challenge posed by this year's event. Despite the struggles, he enjoyed the competition.
Every year we say 'It's the hardest Tour ever', the hardest thing we've ever done, it's all so crazy, but honestly, I know that this year was something on another level.
There was maybe one day that we went a bit easier, if you look at the power files throughout the whole Tour. It's been really amazing and really tough.
I must say that even though it was one of the toughest ones I ever did, I enjoyed it, because I had good shape and good legs.
