THE SPORTS SCAN – After Tuesday’s stage between Gruissan and Nîmes, the Frenchman from Cofidis has 179 points for the green jersey.
Behind Biniam Girmay and Jasper Philipsen in the green jersey ranking, Bryan Coquard is not looking ahead but rather in his rearview mirrors. With 179 points, the Frenchman from Cofidis occupies third place in this ranking and has set himself a goal before arriving in Nice on July 21. Finish ahead of Tadej Pogacar.
«The goal will be to go into the breakaways to score points in the intermediate sprint because Tadej Pogacar is not far away and if he wins all the stages, he will pass me. So that will be my personal goal,” said the 32-year-old sprinter. The Slovenian is 43 points behind the Frenchman after 16 stages. A major challenge within Bryan Coquard’s reach.
