Tour de France stage 15: Another dominating win for Pogacar on a hard mountain stage in the Pyrenees. Jonas lost a minute to Tadej but gained a minute over Remco. Unless something crazy happens, it seems like the podium is already set for this tour. There will be competition for a top 10 finish.

@stupendousman One more week to go - six more stages. World cup Football, World Cup Cricket etc go on for weeks, don't they? Think of TdF as World Cup Cycling that happens every year. :)

@Parag No i mean, as a single game. Thats what I was trying to understand (I dont follow it). Closet analogy I was coming close to was is it like a single race that spans across so many days (like a 5 day test match) or is it like a collection of races (like F1). I wasn't sure which is it.

@stupendousman Each stage is different in terms of terrain they cover and is kind of a separate race as the winner of each stage is recognized. But, there is also a cumulative time that is being tallied for deciding the overall winner after 21 stages.
