The racing on stage 15 of the Tour de France was fast and furious; the speed was incredible, exactly what you\u2019d expect from the best riders in the world battling it out. There was a huge fight to get into the breakaway, and I was also interested because our strategy was to have a rider up the road to get over the steep climb after 130 kilometres and then help Lenny [Martinez] on the approach to the final climb.<\/p>\n<p>I was having a good day and managed to sneak into the breakaway. There weren\u2019t many riders left up ahead by the time the yellow jersey group caught me. Visma-Lease a Bike had set a really high pace on the steep climb, keeping the breakaway within reach to give Jonas [Vingegaard] a chance to fight for the stage. I had just made my way back to the group after collecting fresh bottles and ice from the team car when I saw the chaos at a roundabout. Jonas, Isaac [Del Toro] and a few other riders were on the ground, and it didn\u2019t look good.<\/p>\n<p id=\"elk-b540735e-84cf-11f1-9793-557ec6e75c0e-2\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">These things can happen. We race for 3,500 kilometres, always pushing the limits on roads designed to regulate traffic, not to serve as race tracks. I\u2019d say we\u2019re actually doing pretty well when you consider how few incidents there are at the speeds we travel through these villages. Traffic furniture is designed for vehicles moving at 30 to 50 km\/h, not for bike riders travelling at over 60 km\/h, riding centimetres apart, sitting in the slipstream with almost no visibility, especially when the road is slightly downhill.<\/p>\n<div class=\"fancy-box kiosq-b\" id=\"elk-19fec768-84db-11f1-a355-5394fb147987\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n<div class=\"fancy_box-title\">More Tour columns &amp; opinion<\/div>\n<div class=\"fancy_box_body\">\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure \">\n<div class=\"image-full-width-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"image-widthsetter\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\">\n<source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/k3r8TcSdavdJe6699pairn-2560-80.png.webp 2560w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/k3r8TcSdavdJe6699pairn-1920-80.png.webp 1920w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/k3r8TcSdavdJe6699pairn-1440-80.png.webp 1440w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/k3r8TcSdavdJe6699pairn-1280-80.png.webp 1280w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/k3r8TcSdavdJe6699pairn-1200-80.png.webp 1200w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/k3r8TcSdavdJe6699pairn-1024-80.png.webp 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/k3r8TcSdavdJe6699pairn-970-80.png.webp 970w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/k3r8TcSdavdJe6699pairn-650-80.png.webp 650w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/k3r8TcSdavdJe6699pairn-480-80.png.webp 480w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/k3r8TcSdavdJe6699pairn-320-80.png.webp 320w\" sizes=\"100vw\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption class><span class=\"credit\">(Image credit: Getty Images)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>The final week of the Tour de France will look completely different now that Vingegaard is out &#8211; Philippa York analysis<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>The Tour de France is far from over &#8211; A triple header of mountains and 120 seconds are among the reasons why you should watch the last week<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Jonas Vingegaard abandoning the Tour de France doesn&#8217;t just make a fifth Tadej Poga\u010dar victory even more likely, it radically alters how we&#8217;ll perceive it \u2013 Analysis<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p id=\"elk-19fec8b2-84db-11f1-b421-6d56e1516083\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">A crash like this shatters your dreams. You do everything you can to prepare. You spend weeks and months away from your family, training and racing while living out of a suitcase, weighing every bite of food and patiently following all the numbers in training, trying to enjoy the process along the way. Then, just when the moment comes to make it all count, it can disappear in a split second because of a momentary lapse in concentration or one small mistake. Sometimes it isn\u2019t even your mistake, and maybe then it\u2019s a little easier because you can blame destiny. I always find it hardest when you make the mistake yourself, and you\u2019re left wondering how you could have avoided it. Cycling is cruel, just as life can sometimes be cruel. But luckily, it\u2019s only cycling. It\u2019s something we\u2019re deeply passionate about, and moments like this hurt, but they probably won\u2019t top the list of the worst things that can happen to you in life.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">After the crash, there was a moment of confusion in the group. Nobody really knew what to do. Everyone wanted to wait for Jonas to get back on, but a few moments later we received confirmation on the radio that he wasn\u2019t getting back on the bike. Tom [Pidcock] was still up the road, fighting for his GC position alongside Lenny, so we had to get back to work and keep the gap under control.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">A few kilometres later, we reached the bottom of the final climb and my job was done. I had plenty of time to finish within the time limit, so I could really enjoy the crowds. It\u2019s always so good to see the fans, especially all the young families with children, everyone genuinely enjoying the Tour passing through their towns. Whenever I finish a bottle, I always try to hand it to a passionate kid by the roadside. I like to think that maybe, a few years from now, one of them will take my place in the peloton. It\u2019s still a dream come true for me, and if I had the chance, I\u2019d do it all over again.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure full-width-layout kiosq-b\" data-bordeaux-image-check id=\"elk-35d1da92-84d7-11f1-8e6a-d1eb50a81760\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n<div class=\"image-full-width-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"image-widthsetter\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\">\n<source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/n2zctGz2XhdhVxagK4dqwY-2560-80.jpg.webp 2560w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/n2zctGz2XhdhVxagK4dqwY-1920-80.jpg.webp 1920w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/n2zctGz2XhdhVxagK4dqwY-1440-80.jpg.webp 1440w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/n2zctGz2XhdhVxagK4dqwY-1280-80.jpg.webp 1280w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/n2zctGz2XhdhVxagK4dqwY-1200-80.jpg.webp 1200w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/n2zctGz2XhdhVxagK4dqwY-1024-80.jpg.webp 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/n2zctGz2XhdhVxagK4dqwY-970-80.jpg.webp 970w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/n2zctGz2XhdhVxagK4dqwY-650-80.jpg.webp 650w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/n2zctGz2XhdhVxagK4dqwY-480-80.jpg.webp 480w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/n2zctGz2XhdhVxagK4dqwY-320-80.jpg.webp 320w\" sizes=\"100vw\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\" full-width-layout\"><span class=\"caption-text\">Mohori\u010d leading the charge at the head of the peloton on stage 15 <\/span><span class=\"credit\">(Image credit: Tim de Waele\/Getty Images)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2 id=\"a-lie-in-savouring-food-and-shaving-my-arms-3\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">A lie in, savouring food, and shaving my arms<\/h2>\n<p id=\"elk-fbe91f72-84cf-11f1-8b75-bff9ba8c982b\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">We actually got to our hotel pretty early on Sunday evening, at around 8 p.m., which is unusual, especially on the night before a rest day. Our chefs prepared another fantastic dinner in the kitchen truck, and I was looking forward to getting to bed a little earlier than usual and, for once, not setting an alarm. I managed to fall asleep before 11pm and slept right through until around 9:30am.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">This year I\u2019m doing pretty well with my sleep. I can still fall asleep in under 40 minutes, and I only wake up once or twice during the night or early morning to go to the bathroom. My resting heart rate on Sunday was only eight beats higher than my lowest resting heart rate before the race started, and my HRV was still around 40ms. For comparison, I rarely get much above 100ms even when I\u2019m completely fresh. So my body isn\u2019t completely burned out yet, but a rest day will definitely do me good.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">There\u2019s also the added benefit of Tuesday\u2019s time trial, which for me will almost be another rest day. I won\u2019t need to push too hard to finish inside the time limit, and I\u2019ll need every bit of energy I can save for Wednesday. I don\u2019t think there\u2019s much chance that stage 17 will be controlled. There are still plenty of teams without a stage win, and for many of us this could be our only real opportunity to fight for one. It\u2019s going to be an absolute battlefield, and I\u2019m really looking forward to it.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">But first, I\u2019m making the most of the relaxed rest day atmosphere. We\u2019ll head out for an easy coffee ride, take our time over meals and actually savour the food instead of simply cramming in the calories and carbs for fuel. I\u2019ll make sure there\u2019s enough time in the afternoon for a proper nap. There should even be time to shave my legs, and I might shave my arms for a change too, so that I have absolutely no regrets if it somehow comes down to the width of a tyre in a sprint on Wednesday. It\u2019s probably very unlikely, but it\u2019s happened to me before. I\u2019d rather be 101% ready and know, with a clear conscience, that I\u2019ve done absolutely everything in my power to be the best I can be.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"block mb-5\" id=\"articleTag\" data-component-name=\"PostArticleLinks\" data-nosnippet data-mrf-recirculation=\"post-article-links\">\n<div class=\"border-b border-b-black border-solid py-2.5 text-black font-bold uppercase\">TOPICS<\/div>\n<nav class=\"py-2.5 flex gap-2.5 flex-wrap\" data-analytics-id=\"article-tag\" data-mrf-recirculation=\"article-tag\">\n<p>Premium Columns<\/p>\n<p>Premium In-Depth Racing<\/p>\n<p>Road<\/p>\n<\/nav>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"slice-container-authorBio-8xw8sa76gs2wR8QduFEEGa\" class=\"slice-container slice-author-bio authorBio-8xw8sa76gs2wR8QduFEEGa slice-container-authorBio\">\n<div class=\"author author__default-layout author--separator author--collapsible\" data-hydrate=\"true\">\n<div class=\"author__header\">\n<div class=\"author__heading\">\n<div class=\"author__name\">Matej Mohori\u010d<\/div>\n<div class=\"author__role\">Professional road cyclist for Bahrain-Victorious<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"author__bio-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"author__biography\">\n<p>Matej Mohori\u010d is a Slovenian professional road cyclist, currently riding for Bahrain-Victorious.

The racing on stage 15 of the Tour de France was fast and furious; the speed was incredible, exactly what you\u2019d expect from the best riders in the world battling it out. There was a huge fight to get into the breakaway, and I was also interested because our strategy was to have a rider up the road to get over the steep climb after 130 kilometres and then help Lenny [Martinez] on the approach to the final climb.<\/p>\n<p>I was having a good day and managed to sneak into the breakaway. There weren\u2019t many riders left up ahead by the time the yellow jersey group caught me. Visma-Lease a Bike had set a really high pace on the steep climb, keeping the breakaway within reach to give Jonas [Vingegaard] a chance to fight for the stage. I had just made my way back to the group after collecting fresh bottles and ice from the team car when I saw the chaos at a roundabout. Jonas, Isaac [Del Toro] and a few other riders were on the ground, and it didn\u2019t look good.<\/p>\n<p id=\"elk-b540735e-84cf-11f1-9793-557ec6e75c0e-2\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">These things can happen. We race for 3,500 kilometres, always pushing the limits on roads designed to regulate traffic, not to serve as race tracks. I\u2019d say we\u2019re actually doing pretty well when you consider how few incidents there are at the speeds we travel through these villages. Traffic furniture is designed for vehicles moving at 30 to 50 km\/h, not for bike riders travelling at over 60 km\/h, riding centimetres apart, sitting in the slipstream with almost no visibility, especially when the road is slightly downhill.<\/p>\n<div class=\"fancy-box kiosq-b\" id=\"elk-19fec768-84db-11f1-a355-5394fb147987\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n<div class=\"fancy_box-title\">More Tour columns &amp; opinion<\/div>\n<div class=\"fancy_box_body\">\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure \">\n<div class=\"image-full-width-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"image-widthsetter\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\">\n<source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/k3r8TcSdavdJe6699pairn-2560-80.png.webp 2560w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/k3r8TcSdavdJe6699pairn-1920-80.png.webp 1920w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/k3r8TcSdavdJe6699pairn-1440-80.png.webp 1440w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/k3r8TcSdavdJe6699pairn-1280-80.png.webp 1280w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/k3r8TcSdavdJe6699pairn-1200-80.png.webp 1200w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/k3r8TcSdavdJe6699pairn-1024-80.png.webp 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/k3r8TcSdavdJe6699pairn-970-80.png.webp 970w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/k3r8TcSdavdJe6699pairn-650-80.png.webp 650w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/k3r8TcSdavdJe6699pairn-480-80.png.webp 480w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/k3r8TcSdavdJe6699pairn-320-80.png.webp 320w\" sizes=\"100vw\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption class><span class=\"credit\">(Image credit: Getty Images)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>The final week of the Tour de France will look completely different now that Vingegaard is out &#8211; Philippa York analysis<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>The Tour de France is far from over &#8211; A triple header of mountains and 120 seconds are among the reasons why you should watch the last week<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Jonas Vingegaard abandoning the Tour de France doesn&#8217;t just make a fifth Tadej Poga\u010dar victory even more likely, it radically alters how we&#8217;ll perceive it \u2013 Analysis<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p id=\"elk-19fec8b2-84db-11f1-b421-6d56e1516083\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">A crash like this shatters your dreams. You do everything you can to prepare. You spend weeks and months away from your family, training and racing while living out of a suitcase, weighing every bite of food and patiently following all the numbers in training, trying to enjoy the process along the way. Then, just when the moment comes to make it all count, it can disappear in a split second because of a momentary lapse in concentration or one small mistake. Sometimes it isn\u2019t even your mistake, and maybe then it\u2019s a little easier because you can blame destiny. I always find it hardest when you make the mistake yourself, and you\u2019re left wondering how you could have avoided it. Cycling is cruel, just as life can sometimes be cruel. But luckily, it\u2019s only cycling. It\u2019s something we\u2019re deeply passionate about, and moments like this hurt, but they probably won\u2019t top the list of the worst things that can happen to you in life.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">After the crash, there was a moment of confusion in the group. Nobody really knew what to do. Everyone wanted to wait for Jonas to get back on, but a few moments later we received confirmation on the radio that he wasn\u2019t getting back on the bike. Tom [Pidcock] was still up the road, fighting for his GC position alongside Lenny, so we had to get back to work and keep the gap under control.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">A few kilometres later, we reached the bottom of the final climb and my job was done. I had plenty of time to finish within the time limit, so I could really enjoy the crowds. It\u2019s always so good to see the fans, especially all the young families with children, everyone genuinely enjoying the Tour passing through their towns. Whenever I finish a bottle, I always try to hand it to a passionate kid by the roadside. I like to think that maybe, a few years from now, one of them will take my place in the peloton. It\u2019s still a dream come true for me, and if I had the chance, I\u2019d do it all over again.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure full-width-layout kiosq-b\" data-bordeaux-image-check id=\"elk-35d1da92-84d7-11f1-8e6a-d1eb50a81760\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n<div class=\"image-full-width-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"image-widthsetter\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\">\n<source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/n2zctGz2XhdhVxagK4dqwY-2560-80.jpg.webp 2560w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/n2zctGz2XhdhVxagK4dqwY-1920-80.jpg.webp 1920w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/n2zctGz2XhdhVxagK4dqwY-1440-80.jpg.webp 1440w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/n2zctGz2XhdhVxagK4dqwY-1280-80.jpg.webp 1280w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/n2zctGz2XhdhVxagK4dqwY-1200-80.jpg.webp 1200w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/n2zctGz2XhdhVxagK4dqwY-1024-80.jpg.webp 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/n2zctGz2XhdhVxagK4dqwY-970-80.jpg.webp 970w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/n2zctGz2XhdhVxagK4dqwY-650-80.jpg.webp 650w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/n2zctGz2XhdhVxagK4dqwY-480-80.jpg.webp 480w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/n2zctGz2XhdhVxagK4dqwY-320-80.jpg.webp 320w\" sizes=\"100vw\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\" full-width-layout\"><span class=\"caption-text\">Mohori\u010d leading the charge at the head of the peloton on stage 15 <\/span><span class=\"credit\">(Image credit: Tim de Waele\/Getty Images)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2 id=\"a-lie-in-savouring-food-and-shaving-my-arms-3\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">A lie in, savouring food, and shaving my arms<\/h2>\n<p id=\"elk-fbe91f72-84cf-11f1-8b75-bff9ba8c982b\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">We actually got to our hotel pretty early on Sunday evening, at around 8 p.m., which is unusual, especially on the night before a rest day. Our chefs prepared another fantastic dinner in the kitchen truck, and I was looking forward to getting to bed a little earlier than usual and, for once, not setting an alarm. I managed to fall asleep before 11pm and slept right through until around 9:30am.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">This year I\u2019m doing pretty well with my sleep. I can still fall asleep in under 40 minutes, and I only wake up once or twice during the night or early morning to go to the bathroom. My resting heart rate on Sunday was only eight beats higher than my lowest resting heart rate before the race started, and my HRV was still around 40ms. For comparison, I rarely get much above 100ms even when I\u2019m completely fresh. So my body isn\u2019t completely burned out yet, but a rest day will definitely do me good.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">There\u2019s also the added benefit of Tuesday\u2019s time trial, which for me will almost be another rest day. I won\u2019t need to push too hard to finish inside the time limit, and I\u2019ll need every bit of energy I can save for Wednesday. I don\u2019t think there\u2019s much chance that stage 17 will be controlled. There are still plenty of teams without a stage win, and for many of us this could be our only real opportunity to fight for one. It\u2019s going to be an absolute battlefield, and I\u2019m really looking forward to it.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">But first, I\u2019m making the most of the relaxed rest day atmosphere. We\u2019ll head out for an easy coffee ride, take our time over meals and actually savour the food instead of simply cramming in the calories and carbs for fuel. I\u2019ll make sure there\u2019s enough time in the afternoon for a proper nap. There should even be time to shave my legs, and I might shave my arms for a change too, so that I have absolutely no regrets if it somehow comes down to the width of a tyre in a sprint on Wednesday.

The racing on stage 15 of the Tour de France was fast and furious; the speed was incredible, exactly what you\u2019d expect from the best riders in the world battling it out. There was a huge fight to get into the breakaway, and I was also interested because our strategy was to have a rider up the road to get over the steep climb after 130 kilometres and then help Lenny [Martinez] on the approach to the final climb.<\/p>\n<p>I was having a good day and managed to sneak into the breakaway. There weren\u2019t many riders left up ahead by the time the yellow jersey group caught me. Visma-Lease a Bike had set a really high pace on the steep climb, keeping the breakaway within reach to give Jonas [Vingegaard] a chance to fight for the stage. I had just made my way back to the group after collecting fresh bottles and ice from the team car when I saw the chaos at a roundabout. Jonas, Isaac [Del Toro] and a few other riders were on the ground, and it didn\u2019t look good.<\/p>\n<p id=\"elk-b540735e-84cf-11f1-9793-557ec6e75c0e-2\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">These things can happen. We race for 3,500 kilometres, always pushing the limits on roads designed to regulate traffic, not to serve as race tracks. I\u2019d say we\u2019re actually doing pretty well when you consider how few incidents there are at the speeds we travel through these villages. Traffic furniture is designed for vehicles moving at 30 to 50 km\/h, not for bike riders travelling at over 60 km\/h, riding centimetres apart, sitting in the slipstream with almost no visibility, especially when the road is slightly downhill.<\/p>\n<div class=\"fancy-box kiosq-b\" id=\"elk-19fec768-84db-11f1-a355-5394fb147987\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n<div class=\"fancy_box-title\">More Tour columns &amp; opinion<\/div>\n<div class=\"fancy_box_body\">\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure \">\n<div class=\"image-full-width-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"image-widthsetter\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\">\n<source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/k3r8TcSdavdJe6699pairn-2560-80.png.webp 2560w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/k3r8TcSdavdJe6699pairn-1920-80.png.webp 1920w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/k3r8TcSdavdJe6699pairn-1440-80.png.webp 1440w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/k3r8TcSdavdJe6699pairn-1280-80.png.webp 1280w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/k3r8TcSdavdJe6699pairn-1200-80.png.webp 1200w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/k3r8TcSdavdJe6699pairn-1024-80.png.webp 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/k3r8TcSdavdJe6699pairn-970-80.png.webp 970w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/k3r8TcSdavdJe6699pairn-650-80.png.webp 650w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/k3r8TcSdavdJe6699pairn-480-80.png.webp 480w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/k3r8TcSdavdJe6699pairn-320-80.png.webp 320w\" sizes=\"100vw\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption class><span class=\"credit\">(Image credit: Getty Images)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>The final week of the Tour de France will look completely different now that Vingegaard is out &#8211; Philippa York analysis<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>The Tour de France is far from over &#8211; A triple header of mountains and 120 seconds are among the reasons why you should watch the last week<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Jonas Vingegaard abandoning the Tour de France doesn&#8217;t just make a fifth Tadej Poga\u010dar victory even more likely, it radically alters how we&#8217;ll perceive it \u2013 Analysis<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p id=\"elk-19fec8b2-84db-11f1-b421-6d56e1516083\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">A crash like this shatters your dreams. You do everything you can to prepare. You spend weeks and months away from your family, training and racing while living out of a suitcase, weighing every bite of food and patiently following all the numbers in training, trying to enjoy the process along the way. Then, just when the moment comes to make it all count, it can disappear in a split second because of a momentary lapse in concentration or one small mistake. Sometimes it isn\u2019t even your mistake, and maybe then it\u2019s a little easier because you can blame destiny. I always find it hardest when you make the mistake yourself, and you\u2019re left wondering how you could have avoided it. Cycling is cruel, just as life can sometimes be cruel. But luckily, it\u2019s only cycling. It\u2019s something we\u2019re deeply passionate about, and moments like this hurt, but they probably won\u2019t top the list of the worst things that can happen to you in life.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">After the crash, there was a moment of confusion in the group. Nobody really knew what to do. Everyone wanted to wait for Jonas to get back on, but a few moments later we received confirmation on the radio that he wasn\u2019t getting back on the bike. Tom [Pidcock] was still up the road, fighting for his GC position alongside Lenny, so we had to get back to work and keep the gap under control.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">A few kilometres later, we reached the bottom of the final climb and my job was done. I had plenty of time to finish within the time limit, so I could really enjoy the crowds. It\u2019s always so good to see the fans, especially all the young families with children, everyone genuinely enjoying the Tour passing through their towns. Whenever I finish a bottle, I always try to hand it to a passionate kid by the roadside. I like to think that maybe, a few years from now, one of them will take my place in the peloton. It\u2019s still a dream come true for me, and if I had the chance, I\u2019d do it all over again.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure full-width-layout kiosq-b\" data-bordeaux-image-check id=\"elk-35d1da92-84d7-11f1-8e6a-d1eb50a81760\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n<div class=\"image-full-width-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"image-widthsetter\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\">\n<source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/n2zctGz2XhdhVxagK4dqwY-2560-80.jpg.webp 2560w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/n2zctGz2XhdhVxagK4dqwY-1920-80.jpg.webp 1920w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/n2zctGz2XhdhVxagK4dqwY-1440-80.jpg.webp 1440w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/n2zctGz2XhdhVxagK4dqwY-1280-80.jpg.webp 1280w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/n2zctGz2XhdhVxagK4dqwY-1200-80.jpg.webp 1200w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/n2zctGz2XhdhVxagK4dqwY-1024-80.jpg.webp 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/n2zctGz2XhdhVxagK4dqwY-970-80.jpg.webp 970w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/n2zctGz2XhdhVxagK4dqwY-650-80.jpg.webp 650w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/n2zctGz2XhdhVxagK4dqwY-480-80.jpg.webp 480w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/n2zctGz2XhdhVxagK4dqwY-320-80.jpg.webp 320w\" sizes=\"100vw\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\" full-width-layout\"><span class=\"caption-text\">Mohori\u010d leading the charge at the head of the peloton on stage 15 <\/span><span class=\"credit\">(Image credit: Tim de Waele\/Getty Images)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2 id=\"a-lie-in-savouring-food-and-shaving-my-arms-3\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">A lie in, savouring food, and shaving my arms<\/h2>\n<p id=\"elk-fbe91f72-84cf-11f1-8b75-bff9ba8c982b\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">We actually got to our hotel pretty early on Sunday evening, at around 8 p.m., which is unusual, especially on the night before a rest day. Our chefs prepared another fantastic dinner in the kitchen truck, and I was looking forward to getting to bed a little earlier than usual and, for once, not setting an alarm. I managed to fall asleep before 11pm and slept right through until around 9:30am.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">This year I\u2019m doing pretty well with my sleep. I can still fall asleep in under 40 minutes, and I only wake up once or twice during the night or early morning to go to the bathroom. My resting heart rate on Sunday was only eight beats higher than my lowest resting heart rate before the race started, and my HRV was still around 40ms. For comparison, I rarely get much above 100ms even when I\u2019m completely fresh. So my body isn\u2019t completely burned out yet, but a rest day will definitely do me good.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">There\u2019s also the added benefit of Tuesday\u2019s time trial, which for me will almost be another rest day. I won\u2019t need to push too hard to finish inside the time limit, and I\u2019ll need every bit of energy I can save for Wednesday. I don\u2019t think there\u2019s much chance that stage 17 will be controlled. There are still plenty of teams without a stage win, and for many of us this could be our only real opportunity to fight for one. It\u2019s going to be an absolute battlefield, and I\u2019m really looking forward to it.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">But first, I\u2019m making the most of the relaxed rest day atmosphere. We\u2019ll head out for an easy coffee ride, take our time over meals and actually savour the food instead of simply cramming in the calories and carbs for fuel. I\u2019ll make sure there\u2019s enough time in the afternoon for a proper nap. There should even be time to shave my legs, and I might shave my arms for a change too, so that I have absolutely no regrets if it somehow comes down to the width of a tyre in a sprint on Wednesday. It\u2019s probably very unlikely, but it\u2019s happened to me before. I\u2019d rather be 101% ready and know, with a clear conscience, that I\u2019ve done absolutely everything in my power to be the best I can be.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>[analyse_source url=&#8221;https:\/\/www.cyclingnews.com\/pro-cycling\/a-crash-like-this-shatters-your-dreams-you-do-everything-you-can-to-prepare-and-then-it-can-disappear-in-a-split-second-matej-mohorics-tour-de-france-diary\/&#8221;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[analyse_image type=&#8221;featured&#8221; src=&#8221;https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/KLcoKXgChnQXa6878MVMfU-2000-80.png&#8221;] Pro Cycling A crash like this shatters your dreams, you do everything you can to prepare and then it can disappear in a split second \u2013 Matej Mohori\u010d&#8217;s Tour de France diary MEMBER EXCLUSIVE Features By Matej Mohori\u010d Published 21 July 2026 The three-time Tour de France stage winner reflects on Jonas [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[226,68],"class_list":["post-2054809","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-politics","tag-crawlmanager","tag-cyclingnews-com"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2054809","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2054809"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2054809\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2054809"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2054809"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2054809"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
