Pogačar, Carapaz, Paret-Peintre battle for Tour's polka dot jersey
Following stage 18 of the Tour de France, Tadej Pogačar retains the polka dot jersey but faces a strong challenge for the mountains classification title. Richard Carapaz and Valentin Paret-Peintre remain in close contention, setting up an exciting battle in the final mountain stages.
Is it a strategic mistake for Pogačar to divert energy to the KOM jersey when Carapaz and Paret-Peintre are targeting it specifically?
