The most worrying thing is that he probably followed the car's recommendations.UAE should hire someone with a brain.
Del Toro is less like Pogacar than some predicted.
Pogacar never lost anything acting like that. On the contrary, one of his defeats in the Tour was due to being
nonconformist in Granon and excessively brave.
In his first Vuelta, he finished on the podium thanks to an all-in attack at 40km.
In any case, I don't hold Del Toro responsible. There's only one Pogacar, and Ayuso's mistake in the past, or Del Toro, has been the expectations generated by comparisons with him.
But since Del Toro isn't the same as Pogacar, they need to guide him better from the car.
In UAE, they've gotten used to Pogacar winning alone. They're very useless; they should be grateful for a talent like Pogacar.
Visma won GTs with four different riders. UAE signs big names and doesn't win GTs or the major classics. They inflate their numbers in minor races.
If it weren't for Pogacar's talent, they wouldn't win those races due to directors obvious inability.
