I mean, easy memeing on the lack of adventure with Thomas as leader and all that, but it's an absolutely dumb interview question that we see asked 1000x a season, some endless amount of variations on "and what will your tactics be today?" as if anybody is going to disclose them so blatantly. It's actually quite a nice answer by Arensman as a result.
Yep, but I would say should he really want it, Pogacar together with Majka, Großschartner, Novak can gain 5min on the break on two tough climbs.
I'm absolutely convinced from the way they are talking that they haven't actually realised it's not the Mortirolo they're thinking of.
Nope, they're just looking at the fact it's called Mortirolo and assuming it must be super hard because it's the Mortirolo. Same as when they rode up the main road into Montelupone in 2011 and the commentators hyped the muro as though they were using the same road as Tirreno-Adriatico in 2008 and 2009.
That's until Contador goes to interview the DS of teams in the break asking them why they don't help the Polti riders
Contador is right, as is Basso. Polti as a PCT team having to do what all the WT should be doing
Nah they know it's the easy side, it's been mentioned a few times, they're just trying to keep tension up.
He needs to take advantage of his position and ask the right questions to the right people
it's the sponsor's home stage, which is probably the main reason they are doing all this work
Lets see but think Großschartner can potentially go for long time. On the only long hard climb so far (Prati di Tivo), he finished 27th and was in the group of last 15 favourites before handing over to Majka.
