Tadej Pogačar has been experiencing a minor cold during the Tour de France, which he claims is now improving. He has maintained a significant lead in the race, having won four out of 15 stages and increasing his advantage over competitor Jonas Vingegaard. Pogačar jokingly noted that many riders are also feeling under the weather, suggesting that the extensive use of ice and air conditioning in the hot conditions may have contributed to the spread of illness. Despite his cold, he remains confident it will not affect his performance.
"I'm becoming less sick now, so thanks for taking care of me. Half of the bunch has sore throats and coughing, blowing their noses. I think I'm more at the end of it."
"We eat so much ice and put ice everywhere, and I don't think it's good for the throat. And all the AC, all the extra work on the podium and after, it resulted in a bit of a runny nose and a bit of coughing."
"It's nothing, I'm not really sick, it's just a pain in the ass."
