Tadej Pogačar entered the Tour de France this year saying he had nothing to lose after an interrupted lead-up but nine days in, the Slovenian prodigy is now in game mode.

Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates) trails race leader Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma) by a mere 17 seconds after nine stages in which the pair have gone head-to-head multiple times.
