Egan Bernal dropped by Slovenia’s Roglic, Pogacar at Tour de France

Egan Bernal‘s hopes of a repeat Tour de France title were dented on the Tour’s first summit finish as he lost 38 seconds to leader Primoz Roglic.

Roglic and countryman Tadej Pogacar gapped Bernal on the last of seven categorized climbs on the 13th of 21 stages, six minutes after Colombian Dani Martinez took the stage.

Martinez isn’t among the contenders to win the overall title in Paris in nine days.

That battle was expected to come down to Bernal, of Tour stalwart Ineos Grenadiers, and Roglic, of the surging Jumbo-Visma team.
