Embed from Getty ImagesPogacar laced up the best time trial performance of all time in the Tour de France, on Stage 20. UAE Team Emirates rider went into the 36.2km stage a distant 57 seconds behind long-time leader Primoz Roglic (Team Jumbo-Visma) but stopped the clock 1min 56sec faster than his Slovenian compatriot, which handed him overall victory by 59 seconds. Rumor from inside the team is that Pogacar averaged an astonishing 6.6 watts per KG for the entire effort on the TT bike.
He gave everything, but it wasn’t his day.
