While Pogačar appears healthy and holds a multi-minute lead, the absence of some teammates and new vulnerability could loosen UAE’s grip on the race during the final two mountain stages—culminating in Alpe d’Huez—shaping a more open GC battle even if the yellow jersey champion seems likely to come from the UAE camp.
