Rigoberto Urán may be a three-time Grand Tour podium finisher, twice in the Giro d'Italia and once in the Tour de France, but for all his experience, or perhaps because of it, the EF Pro Cycling leader refused to make any predictions on Monday about how he sees his last week of the 2020 Tour de France unfolding.

For the last two weeks, in a steady upward curve, Urán has steadily worked his way through the general classification, culminating with a third-place position overall on Monday's second rest day of the Tour, 1:34 down on race leader Primož Roglič (Jumbo-Visma).
