I don't think 140km of TT would have improved his GC position in 2024 - Jonas and Pogi are time trial monsters.

they've both had some truly bad TTs as well

One thing that 2 long flat ITTs would do is make Vingo and Pog come in 1-2kg heavier for TT power. Would that affect their climbing times? Or would they concede minutes in the ITTs and trust they would gain them back in the mountains?

Novak dropped, been useless for ages, get one of the terrible twosome, Juan or Del Toro in the squad instead, it will be far more entertaining for the fans.

Not sure why this is supposed to be must-watch television? You get these groups with a small gap then Pogacar sneezes towards the top and it's closed if at all necessary

Yeah sure Pogačar just closes down everybody and the GC guys stay together through that.

Jorgenson should attack again with 4 km to the top.

Here we go already, Paret-Peintre and that small-minded, potato-tactic team are already frying again. I just can't be arsed to take their small-minded, potato mentality seriously.
Pogacar isn't Del Toro, but I still see a mistake in UAE not putting anyone in the break.

Pogacar could have a bad day, or Vingegaard could attack with Van Aert ahead, and the UAE could have no one like they did at the Granon.

They need to improve that.
Today's fine because it's the Dauphine, and it's a preparation race to learn from mistakes. But in the Tour, they can't afford for Visma to put domestiques in the break, and they don´t.
