Tadej Pogacar secured his fourth stage victory of the 2024 Tour de France on a dramatic day in the Vosges mountains, where the Slovenian rider launched a late attack to claim the win at Le Markstein. The stage, spanning 166 kilometres, featured seven categorized climbs, culminating in the challenging Col de Haag. Pogacar’s decisive move came 1.6 kilometres from the summit, leaving Jonas Vingegaard, Paul Seixas, and Florian Lipowitz far behind. Despite the efforts of Seixas, who matched Vingegaard on the descent, the young French rider ultimately fell short in the sprint to the finish, finishing second and securing the lead in the young rider’s classification. The stage marked a significant setback for Tom Pidcock, who struggled on the early slopes of the Col de Haag. His challenge unraveled as the Decathlon team, led by Seixas, set a relentless pace, breaking the main peloton. Within minutes, Pidcock dropped from second overall to ninth, unable to recover from the early loss. Meanwhile, Richard Carapaz remained a persistent threat, closing in on a stage win as he had done on Bastille Day. However, Pogacar’s relentless pursuit ensured that Carapaz’s hopes were dashed once more, with the Ecuadorean rider falling to the Slovenian’s final surge. Throughout the day, the peloton faced extreme weather conditions, transitioning from scorching heat to torrential rain. On Saturday, heavy rainfall flooded the finish line at Le Markstein just as Pogacar’s team began to close down the breakaways. The storm intensified on the descent of the Col de Page, where Pogacar and his team briefly distanced themselves from Vingegaard. Though the Danish rider responded swiftly, the incident foreshadowed the intensity of the upcoming battle. As the skies cleared, the early advantage of a six-rider breakaway, including Ireland’s Ben Healy, began to dwindle. By the time the group reached the final climb to Le Markstein, Pogacar had already taken control of the situation, effectively ending the breakaway’s chances. Healy, who had been part of the breakaway, finished third in the stage, moving up significantly in the overall standings from 118th to 62nd. The controversy surrounding Pogacar continued beyond the race itself. French cycling fans, particularly those in the Massif Central, reportedly booed the Slovenian rider during Stage 10, which ended in Le Lioran. Pogacar, known for his aggressive style, extended his overall lead over Vingegaard to three minutes and 36 seconds, seemingly putting his quest for a record-equalling fifth Tour victory on track. Some French fans, however, felt that the Bastille Day should have belonged to Paul Seixas, the 19-year-old rising star who finished third on the stage, 34 seconds behind Pogacar. Pogacar addressed the criticism in a post-win interview, expressing frustration with the negative reception but maintaining his focus on the race. “I enjoyed the day, and I didn’t know if I was going to win until the last kilometre,” he said. “Then I remembered this festive day and tried to honour the yellow jersey.” Despite the backlash, Pogacar remained composed, attributing the booing to the intensity of the competition rather than personal animosity. Meanwhile, concerns over fairness resurfaced as anti-doping authorities dismissed claims of favoritism toward Seixas. The 19-year-old French rider, part of the Decathlon CMA CGM team, was not subjected to the same night-time testing as Pogacar and Vingegaard. Slovenian rider Matej Mohoric, who was tested at 5am, criticized the lack of equal treatment, arguing that the decision should be based purely on performance and risk assessment. The International Testing Agency defended its approach, emphasizing that decisions were made based on factual data and scientific analysis, free from external influences. The day’s events concluded with a thrilling sprint finish, where Jasper Philipsen claimed his first stage win of the year. The Dutch rider, who had previously been beaten by Tim Merlier and Olav Kooij, triumphed in a chaotic 175-kilometre stage from Chambéry to Voiron. Meanwhile, Adam Yates, a key support rider for Pogacar, struggled with a severe stomach bug, finishing third from last and visibly unwell. Pogacar acknowledged his teammate’s condition, noting that he had appeared pale and exhausted throughout the race. With three mountain-top finishes under his belt, Pogacar continues to dominate the Tour de France, setting the stage for further challenges ahead.

To je uslijedilo nakon dramatičnog tjedna u kojem se njegov suigrač Torsten Træen srušio iz utrke dok je nosio žutu majicu. U međuvremenu, Julian Alaphilippe, bivši svjetski prvak i nacionalni junak, borio se tijekom etape i možda će završiti svoju Tour de France karijeru.

The Irish TimesNeovisan🔒SredinaČinjenice 85Objektivnost 80prije 7 h Anti-doping šefovi odbacuju tvrdnje o Paul Seixas favoriziranje kao Tour de France rivali plače faulAntidopinški organi na Tour de Franceu odbacili su optužbe za favoriziranje francuskog vozača Paula Seixasa, koji je trenutno četvrti u ukupnom poretku. Seixas i njegov tim podvrgnuti su biološkom testu putovnice, ali on je izbjegao noćne testove provedene na voditelju utrke Tadeju Pogacaru i povlačenom vozaču Jonasu Vingegaardu. Slovenski vozač Matej Mohoric kritizirao je nedostatak jednakog postupanja, tvrdeći da je Seixasov položaj u općoj klasifikaciji učinio ga ciljem za provjeru. Međunarodna agencija za testiranje (ITA) branila je svoju strategiju testiranja, naglašavajući da su odluke zasnovane na znanstvenim podacima i procjenama rizika, te da UCI podržava režim noćnog testiranja unatoč poremećivanju rasporeda vozača. UCI je priznao utjecaj na odmor i oporavak, ali je održao potrebne mjere za borbu protiv takvog dopinga.

It provides context about the biological passport testing program and the roles of different anti-doping bodies
Zašto objektivnost (80): The tone is generally neutral, presenting the allegations and responses from the authorities without overt emotional language. However, there is a slight emphasis on the riders' concerns about fair treatment, which could be seen as slightly biased toward the cyclists' perspective.
