Tour de France 2023 Stage 14 LIVE: Tadej Pogacar and Jonas Vingegaard set to fight for yellow on the final climb of the first day in the Alps

1. Jonas Vingegaard 57'47'28"
2. Tadej Pogacar +10"
3. Carlos Rodriguez +4'43"
4. Jai Hindley +4'44"
5. Adam Yates +5'20

So by virtue of the two remaining bonus seconds Rodriguez took at the top of the Joux Plane, he goes into third place overall, by a single second. Goodness me.

Tom Pidcock drops out of the top ten.

1. Carlos Rodriguez 3'58'45"
2. Tadej Pogacar +5"
3. Jonas Vingegaard +5"
4. Adam Yates +10"
5. Sepp Kuss +57"
6. Jai Hindley +1'46"

Drumroll for the new general classification please...

22 years old and he makes it two in a row for Ineos Grenadiers. Five seconds later, Pogacar is able to hold front position to take the 6 bonus seconds. It's still a net loss for him on the stage, as Vingegaard gets the four.

Too fast there, as he goes wide but stays just ahead. Rodriguez is the happiest, as Adam Yates is back with them and trying to pull it back, as the metres count down fast.

But can't get rid of Vingegaard, as Rodriguez is on his way to the stage victory. The Spaniard has 13 seconds, according to the clock, and is looking very good for the overall podium.

And quickly opens up a lead on the descent. Yates is a bit off the wheel, and Pogacar will want to get back to the front. Those bonus seconds for the stage win matter even more now than they did.

The best two bike riders in the world are wheel to wheel. There's one little opportunity, in the form of a small kicker, for someone to do something before the descent begins properly.

12KM TO GO: VINGEGAARD ATTACKS

Just the moment when Pogacar took his eye off the ball, and the yellow jersey takes the 8 seconds, for a net gain of three. That might also put him in line for the mountains jersey, I think.

But a combination of the motorbikes and the narrow corridor of fans prevents him from gettting past. How frustrating for him. He makes it to the front, though, and that's where he'll want to stay, but it's to the white jersey to be looking around now.

Not to sound like an advert, but this is bike racing at it's very finest, as Jonas Vingegaard makes contact with Pogacar once more. Both take a small breather, ease off the pedals, with just 1.5km to the summit of this climb. The GC doesn't lie - there's almost nothing separating these two riders abilities.

It had to have been coming. The nod to his team-mate and he opens a gap so so quickly. It's not massive, but it already matters. Whether or not he can sustain it, Pogacar has taken it to the yellow jersey. Bonus seconds at the top of this climb, remember.

Kuss overboard, Rodriguez gone. Just three left now.

This final 6km is where the Joux Plane gets really steep. Carlos Rodriguez (Ineos Grenadiers) stands to benefit from Hindley's decline. Adam Yates does too, but we know who he is riding for. Pogacar just dropped a bottle and Yates was right there with an extra one.

Vingegaard will attack, the only question is: can Pogacar match him, or even out-punch the maillot jaune?

Who has himself given his last, and that leaves just Kuss leading seven souls remaining at the front.

So the German couldn't be much help for Pogacar, but suddenly Van Aert re-emerges at the front of the race. This is fascinating stuff.

23KM TO GO: THE COL DE JOUX PLANE

On this brute of a climb is where our GC battle is set to blow up. But how big will be the explosion? Rafal Majka comes to the front and immediately the extra pace is sufficient to drop Van Aert and Kelderman. Vingegaard now only has Kuss with him.

Sean Kelly thinks this is playing into the hands of Jumbo Visma, though.

But for how long? That was Chris Harper who did that. 16 strong this bunch now, and both Pogacar and Vingegaard have three team-mates a piece.
