Tadej Pogačar leads the Tour de France by over four minutes after winning two stages in the Pyrenees. He expresses confidence in his abilities while also acknowledging his rival Jonas Vingegaard's potential to win. Pogačar emphasizes the importance of maintaining his focus and physical condition heading into the final stages of the race. The upcoming challenges include significant climbs, notably Mont Ventoux and Col de la Loze, where Vingegaard has previously performed well against him. Pogačar remains prepared for tough competition in the final week of the Tour.
I'm pretty confident in myself, I mean, I have to be. But I'm also pretty sure that Jonas can be confident as well, because he's in really good shape, like we saw in the TT and the day after in Superbagnères, he was really flying.
I need to keep focused, I need to keep eating well, sleeping well, and keep this mood that we have in this group, keep up the motivation, and be confident for the last week, because I think it's going to be tough, but we are ready for a fight with everybody, especially with Jonas.
Obviously, this year, the parcours was... I'm almost confident to say that it was designed to give me a bit of scaredness, because we've been to Hautacam and we are going to Mont Ventoux and Col de la Loze, where Jonas dropped me all three times.
