Join John Brewin for live updates from the penultimate stage of the race, which runs 132.8km from Nice to the Col de la Couillole
90km to go: Paul Griffin gets in touch: “Two issues regarding the Pog hegemony. First, I don’t see any evidence that domination is financially damaging. The NBA grew global on the back of Michael Jordan et al’s success. Usain Bolt raised the profile of track and field — and his sporting demise is actually a bigger problem than his certain victories. “Until he was exposed, Lance Armstrong boosted the profile of cycling.
When Poggy steps down, the concern will be that a charming phenomenon has left the stage, and fewer people will pay attention. Second, it’s not entirely clear that Pog will dominate.” “Vingegaard may be a Roundhead to pog’s cavalier, but his performances when fully fit are astonishing. His TT performance in the last race against the clock last year, is arguably the greatest physical feat in the Tour for many years.
