The final image from Stage 9, shows the moment – or should I say, split second – when Tadej Pogačar took the win. Incredibly, Marc Hirschi is right behind him, having found energy in his legs to join the sprint for the line.

Tadej Pogačar was overjoyed understandably, while his great friend, Primož Roglič, rode into the Yellow Jersey at the same time. Hirschi’s supreme effort was rewarded with the Combatif award, as the most aggressive ride of the day. All three are a joy to watch …and to draw!

Have a good day today.. 🙂
