Anyone who thinks Pog needed Del Toro to win or that it made any difference is fooling themselves.
Second best Remco stayed close because Pog didn't need to go harder. Anyone caught Pog and he would have just went again.
Exactly this. It's not like we haven't seen it before from him.
Also why are we still calling this guy a favourite in a heavy climbing race. When has he ever backed it up ?
