Everything seemed to be going well for Jumbo Visma in the Tour de France until Saturday evening. The team won three stages and led the race for 11 days.

Logrich's teammates Wout Van Aert and Tom Dumoulin set the top times on the undulating 36.2-km course leading to the summit of La Planche des Belle Filles. However, after Roglic came off the start ramp, his race gradually went off the rails and he fell behind Pogacar on the flats and climbs.

Van Aert, who put in a great performance for the Slovenian team leader and finished fourth in the time trial, could not hide his disappointment that his team could not bring home the overall Tour de France victory.

"It's very hard to give this up at the last minute," a dejected Van Aert told NOS.nl. 'I'm very disappointed. Everything was going perfectly. In fact, we had worked so hard for this and there was nothing to indicate that it wouldn't work today." [Pogachal, who seamlessly switched from his time trial bike to his climbing bike, rode a strong, flowing final climb. Pogachal switched seamlessly from his time trial bike to his climbing bike and rode strongly up the final climb.

"It was painful to see Primoz getting harder and harder," Van Aert said. 'It didn't look as smooth as usual.'

"Before the start, everything seemed to be going well. But it was only because Pogachar had a really great run while Primosch was not up to his usual level. We gave our all every day. We gave everything and did everything perfectly. We were ready to celebrate, so to speak."

Tom Dumoulin, who finished second behind Pogachar in the time trial, was stunned by the speed with which the UAE Team Emirates rider made it up the final climb.

"What can I say? I don't know how Pogacar climbed a minute faster than me," Dumoulin said. 'This is quite a blow. This is quite a blow. I had another good run, but that doesn't matter anymore."

"Pogacar was too strong today. He was on a completely different level than us. Primoz was in good shape and we knew we had to do well in the time trial. He didn't do his best, but he wasn't bad either. I thought that was good enough."
