>The big bang and another big duel between Tadej Pogacar and Jonas Vingegaard were set for this year's Vuelta a EspaƱa, but it didn't turn out that way. Visma's attrition strategy didn't pay off in the Tour for anyone other than Wout van Aert, who got the better of a tired Slovenian in Paris, but with the expected re-grant, Vingegaard can probably reap the rewards of his efforts when the Spanish tour reaches Madrid in three weeks.
>The attrition strategy was so effective that a tired Pogacar has canceled the last grand tour of the year, leaving a highway that should lead Vingegaard directly to the Spanish capital wearing the red leader's jersey he gave Sepp Kuss when he last participated two years ago and could undoubtedly have won if the internal team dynamics had allowed it. The Tour taught us that he and Pogacar are still playing in a league of their own.
