Tour de France 2023 Stage 20 recap: Pinot denied as Pogacar wins and Vingegaard secures second triumph

The double champion saw his hopes of a third Tour de France win dashed at the start of the week after Jonas Vingegaard's sensational time trial and emphatic performance on the Col de la Loze. The Slovenian trails the Dane by 7'35" in the standings so unless something out of this world - or incredibly unfortunate - happens in the next four hours, then it will be Vingegaard securing his second successive win in Paris tomorrow. But Pogacar will want to go out with a bang - and what better way than take a second stage win?

If the GC battle looks to be done and dusted then we can at least expect a ding dong fight for polka dot points today in this intriguing stage in the Vosges. There are six categorised climbs on the menu and a total of 37 KOM points on offer. And currently, the Italian from Lidl-Trek's lead is very precarious:

1. Giulio Ciccone 88pts
2. Felix Gall 82pts
3. Jonas Vingegaard 81pts

Good afternoon and welcome to live coverage of the penultimate stage of the 2023 Tour de France - a short but sharp raid through the Vosges mountains which should see Jonas Vingegaard confirmed as the winner of the race. But can the Dane pick up that elusive road stage in yellow or will Tadej Pogacar look to end his race on a high? There's also the small matter of the polka dot jersey competition to sort out with seven points separating the top three and a maximum 37pts still up for grabs...
