The International Testing Agency (ITA) conducted the checks at the hotels ahead of Sunday's mountain stage. Danish runner-up Vingegaard was woken up at 2:00 a.m., while leader Pogacar received a visit at 5:00 a.m.
"I got four hours of sleep last night, but I had a very nice, long morning. I couldn't fall back asleep," Pogacar told Le Parisien.
Matteo Jorgenson, a teammate of Vingegaard, reacted strongly to the overnight test:
"Recovery is extremely important between the toughest mountain stages of the Tour. And then you get woken up at two in the morning. It really makes me furious," Jorgenson said, according to AFP.
