It's 15km from San Luca to finish, which makes a whole other game, but... San Luca is one of the most illusive climbs for Pogačar (1xDNF, 2x2nd). Roglič, on the other hand,...

Too bad Kolovrat was wasted today, but it could have made an intresting prospect if combined with Matajur/Monte maggiore. It's possible to climb Kolovrat from east, too - 10km @9%.

Yes.

Fun fact: Roglic rode 6 ITTs on spanish soil and he won all of them - 3 Itzulia, 3 Vuelta. Plus he won 2019 Vuelta ITT, but that was in France.

Agree. But then again - Pogačar is the best climber of this tour, isn't he?

So, this was his 60th stage at grand tour and 9th win. 15%! Not bad.

Turns out competition on this Tour is no better than on Tour of Slovenia. Pog has it in a bag after 1/3.

Even 10 WvAs wouldn't help. Remember, there was another crash and even Pogacar, who was fast to pass by, lost 20+ seconds. No chance for those comming from behind. Jumbo was just incredibly unlucky on stages 1 snd 3.

I don't know what all the polemic is about? Colbrelli explained it perfectly in few words: Roglic was moving forward and their handlebars tangled. :D I even don't know what was that fuss about Jakobsen and Groenewegen. Sonny can explain it perfectly: Fabio was moving forward and got tangled with...

Guess this is not relevant anymore. They should replay the stage finale on Dutch TV to cheer folks a bit.

So this was Valverde's supporter then?

In direct broadcast I clearly saw Roglic finishing third (or even second), but first results (based on transponder data) showed Vingegaard finishing third. Turns out it was Primoz on Jonas' bike. Looks like the two have so similar bike size and setup, Jumbo didn't bother to swap the bike again.

Guess I was wrong. Primož said he wished first two stages would have been easier.
