    Yes, it's also an option. if Vingo is strong enough to match Pog they could cooperate to get rid of the remaining rivals early in the race.

    Paul Seixas: Tour de France Winner 2031

    I think in 2-3 years one of the giants (Visma or UAE, likely the former) will want him.

    With a few difficult kms at the end Pogacar would likely be content with a late attack putting some smaller time on his rivals (it's still early in the race). In this case he may be tempted to do more damage (as there's no chance to make the difference at the end). We both know there's a reason...

    Teams & Riders Tadej Pogačar discussion thread

    It's natural that father hopes his son's dreams will come true. If he asks Pogi will skip the Tour, he's such a good boy after all.

    Excluding the finale above Gavarnie could sting the organizers in *** if Pogi decides stage 6 is the D-day.

    Question Who is the third best GT rider?

    No worries. Next year Rogla will be triumphant again proving that Vingo should be included in the poll: as Lipo's mentor he will promote his teammate to the 2nd place in GT hierarchy.

    Tadej Pogacar and Mauro Giannetti

    This is the best proof Pogi doesn't take testosterone and stuff like that. Paniagua, guys!

    True, same can be said about Dauphine or Vuelta. Vingo cant beat Pog in a stage race if he doesnt improve his peak level as well as consistency. On a given day (like Tourmalet) the gap could be smaller or bigger though, who knows.

    Vingegaard was patchy this Tour. He was great in Ventoux and Peyreguades, also good on Madeleine while subpar in the Tt or Hautacam and average in La Plagne. Depending on his level he can lose a lot of time on stage 6 or maybe stay close to Pog. Its hard to be sure. I am more certain that Pog...

    Yup, Then imagine Almeida going a bloc for a few km on Tourmalet. A group of 3-4 left before Pog even attacks.

    If UAE makes carnage on Tourmalet I would expect Pog to gain 2+ minutes on everyone except Vingo. And likely only small groups at the top.

    The similarity of stage 6 to some iconic Giro stages (with Mortirolo or Finestre) makes me improve a bad first impression of the route. if Vingo is good enough to follow Pog it could still be interesting ( they may be willing to distance the rest).

    By worse do you mean that nothing will happen or the opposite? If UAE drill Aspin and 2/3 of Tourmalet then Pogacars attack in the last, steepest 5 km will be devastating. Its a question if Vingo can stay close (if he can maybe they will cooperate to crush the rest). Then doing that long, steep...

    Why dont they start the race with a normal ITT and scheduled this TTT instead?

    As backloaded as this route is there is still a possibility that Teddy & UAE will perform a huge attack on stage 6 (Tourmalet). This is kinda similar to Mortirolo + Aprica. Vingegaard and co have to hope it doesnt end like Hautacam
