So, maillot pois skinsuit was a real drag today, clearly.

Regarding your second statement, there is almost nothing to suggest he's focusing on his climbing. If anything, his prep has been geared towards explosiveness, which is frankly bizarre given the elevation in weeks two and three.

Precisely. Why don't people recognise this. Jonas said he did his best ever numbers on PDB. Can you really improve that much more? If Pog maintains this form, it's done.

How much did he sit up? He had almost 30 seconds on Jonas at one point but then finished 15 seconds up.

So satisfying seeing him rub Visma's face in the dirt. They thought they had it all figured out.

One month exactly until the high mountains. He needs to find another gear or he's cooked. Team or no team.

One month until the high mountains in the Tour. If Pog holds this form, and there's nothing to suggest he won't, then Jonas has to find another level over the next four weeks.

Surely not

Nope - Jonas did some of his best numbers today. Simply got beaten by the better man.

Holy ***

Vinge is on great form. Make no mistake.

Re: Re: They are racing smarter, that much IS clear. But that isn't to say the act of speaking and racing smarter isn't a calculated move from Sky. Especially after the urine, booing and other such delights from last year. Also, Sky were never in danger of losing the Tour on the Alpe last...

You can tell there has been a concerted effort to change the conversation from Sky being 'dominant' to racing 'smarter'. It's a clear PR move to take the heat off.

Two of those questions were me, one he answered honestly, the other he didn't. I've asked him about how he feels about Leinders at Sky, yet to reply to me yet. Will report back if he does.

Bans might not be able to be given, but surely names can be named irrespective of the statute? Surely this is an exceptional case.
