Brandon McNulty’s work in the final isolated the Slovenian to challenge for the stage win,” he said. “Tadej Pogačar’s line-up skinned the peloton on the final climbs of the day. Thierry Gouvenou, Tour de France race director and president of the jury, said McNulty was the clear winner of the daily prize. He will race with a red number bib Thursday. The day’s big effort put McNulty in the spotlight and earned him a trip to the winner’s podium as the day’s most aggressive rider. “Strongest climber? No, Tadej and Jonas are at another level, I was happy to be in the final three, but they are a bit better than me.” “I had hoped to be good in the Alps, but I was just not there, so I had to re-set and recover for this, and I was glad to be able to come around to where I was,” he said. We will keep fighting until Thursday, and the TT is also good for Tadej, so we’ll see,” said McNulty, who admitted he struggled in the Alps. Pogačar starts Thursday’s 143.2km stage from Lourdes to Hautacam in second place at 2:18 back, and McNulty said it will be “tough” to try to take back that much time Thursday.

The plan was that I do 15 minutes full on the final climb, and then he would go, but in the end, we chased hard and we did everything we could.” “I felt really good, and I was in the break, but I came back to help Tadej, so I knew I had good legs. “More pasta and carbs, it was fun,” said McNulty when asked what he ate for breakfast.
