Mas really seems to come alive at this race.Mas looks good.
Everyone else is isolated and UAE can control the descent.I really don't see how UAE benefited from riding this ascent so hard.
Such a quality group. Emilia is one of those races where it’s impossible to be in contention without being one of the strongest. It’s both a bit boring and beautiful.Yates, A.
Carapaz
Mas
Pogi
Rogla
Vlasov
Woods
Yates, S.
Ciccone
If it doesn't benefit Pog he's not winning anyway.I really don't see how UAE benefited from riding this ascent so hard.
But even if nobody attacks before the final ascent. Pogacar will have a problem if he can't drop everyone. Using Yates now basically eliminates their option to ride for a sprint or at least control most of the final climbEveryone else is isolated and UAE can control the descent.
They are riding like they are confident that Pog is the strongest and thats how they should ride.But even if nobody attacks before the final ascent. Pogacar will have a problem if he can't drop everyone. Using Yates now basically eliminates their option to ride for a sprint or at least control most of the final climb
If his descending is a problem... what about Vlasov or Mas.Pogacar's descending is a bit of a problem I think
