[Samu Cuenca]

Can't start a fire
Can't start a fire without a spark
Scaroni's on fire
And he's gonna chase down pocagar

Christian "The Boss" Scaroni.

Does Pog not get bored riding by himself

It also just makes no sense for Pogacar to do this.

He really doesn’t know what he’s doing, does he? 😁

It makes perfect sense. Remco is s good as riding alone in the back unless he drops so much it doesn’t even matter anymore. Playing to your strengths seems like a sensible thing to do…

Does Pog not get bored riding by himself

He is so full of himself that he can't be bored.
He probably finds himself interesting and fascinating.

 

[kingjr]

well who knows, strong 4 to chase...

If they lose everything they gain in the flat again on the small climb it won't make a difference

 

[Berniece]

That's not 30s tho

It’s a bit more, handtimed it

 

[Peyroteo94]

The gap is 30". It's not over.

 

[bNator]

Poor commentators. They are again up for two hours of marvelling the magnificent persona that is Pog😁

 

[Tim Cahill]

What are these French judases doing chasing, you've got Seixas up front

 

[Samamba]

Insane race from Vervaeke

 

[AlpRaid]

remco will be dropped by the others if he keeps doing all the pulling.

 

[CyclistAbi]

Only rider i seen beating prime Pogi in a dominating fashion, on when it comes to one day race events, was Rogla.

 

[Rechtschreibfehler]

What's up with France chasing Seixas? No faith?

 

[Berniece]

remco will be dropped by the others if he keeps doing all the pulling.

Top is basically there, they can recuperate in the descent and then hopefully they work together

 

[bah]

It will be interesting to see who turns up to Lombardia, if this is gonna be the outcome.

It's interesting certain Pogi fans seem to "love" that prospect; seems they'd be happy watching Pogi ride in circles vs no opposition.

 

[Valv.Piti]

Ayuso is also better than Skjelmose now in one day races

 

[moljoh]

Belgian radio they play Remco Freak On A Leash on the earphone

 

[RedheadDane]

Does Pog not get bored riding by himself

Maybe he thinks we're still social distancing.

 

[Boehmand]

It's interesting with all the comments on riders using the wrong tactics against Pogacar - and yet nobody ever seems able to specify what they should have done instead

 

[kingjr]

35 seconds

 

[VayaVayaVaya]

Pogacar had made cycling unwatchable.

Especially in the U.S. Itd be nice to watch the winning* move live without getting up at 5am.

*Potentially, in this case

 

[Didinho]

Pogi could also wait untill the last climb(s) and still win solo. But no team tactics if everyone is dropped earlier, even with 4 working together they won’t come back unless Pogi bonks.

 

[Peyroteo94]

35" gap

If they could, everyone would do it.

Everyone who could has done this.

Attacking on the flat section has been suggested, I don't see that working.
