The Tour de France is won in the high mountains. And the highest mountains are just ahead. The Pyrenees and the Alps stand in the way of the July 21 finish in Nice, and the two prerace favorites are right where they were expected to be: near the front of the pack.
Jonas Vingegaard and Tadej Pogacar are expected to resume their two-man race for the yellow jersey when a traverse of the Pyrenees begins on Saturday. Pogacar leads the field by about one minute after success in the race's first pass through the Alps. Vingegaard seems to be recovered from an injury and could aim for his third straight Tour win.
