He's got him on the ropes. Just one more push.
And that official after the finish very nearly delivered the push that Vingegaard needed...

So, tomorrow. A kind of medium lumpy hilly thing ...

He showed some serious balls to attack Pog & Jonas and then hold it there on his own. He was lucky for sure.

It was a good ride, but it was his only option really - get out in front and hope to get enough time to survive whenever they attacked. He did well, but got a little lucky in the end

According to my calculations...
There are 30 points for tomorrow (hilly) and 50 for Paris (sprint) plus 2 intermediates at 20 apiece making 120 green jersey points available.
Milan is on 352 and Pog on 272, lead of 80. So Pog would need both stage wins and an intermediate if he wants to make himself really unpopular and steal little Jonny's jumper. Actually just the stage wins would do it as that would put them equal and Pog would win on count-back.
Meanwhile in the KoM, Pog has 117, Vingo 104 and Lenny 97. By my reckoning there are 2xcat 4, a cat 3 and a cat 2 tomorrow, plus 5x cat 4 on stage 21 giving a total of 14 points.
So Lenny is buggered. But if he hadn't been given that outrageously heavy fine of 8 points for holding on he would have had a mathematical chance. Jonas could theoretically take it, but it would take a weird set of unlikely circumstances - including him giving a damn.
So jerseys all decided really.
Caveat: The above is probably all wrong

Arensmen should have that jersey

Would be nice, unfortunately Jonas is stuck wearing it for Pog all the way to Paris now. He should make sure he wins a championship jersey for next year so this doesn't happen again.

To do that he would need to ride a one-day race

Absolutely - huge miscalculation by Vingo, I guessed Pog would be doing the bare minimum to finish as the winner after his statements yesterday about just wanting to finish and get home - it could have been a bluff of course but with time running out and Pog not attacking why didn't Vingo go for it to at least try for a stage win?
