Dauphiné: King of Valmenier 1800

 

Romain Bardet: Riding in his final race tries a solo attack on the penultimate climb

Romain Bardet was pressing with yet another long range attack. But in the end, nobody could match Pogacar's pace when he attacked 12kms away from the finish at Valmeiner 1800. The world champion takes his third victory in this race, the 10th this year, the 12th since he claimed the rainbow jersey and his 98th career win. 

“I wanted to allow myself to get carried away by the pleasure of pushing my limits and riding alone for one last time on these roads.”
-Romain Bardet
