I asked a few riders earlier and they all are going for the break and expect a big battle for it.
Also saw some interviews, for example with Mohoric who made a goal out of tomorrows stage.
This stage was also the reason why some teams didn't try yesterday (I don't agree with that but ok).
This makes sense because yesterday's stage was before the time trial, so some riders still didn't have any freedom.
With today's time loss, many riders will be able to enter the break without the peloton controlling it.
Aside from the fact that Pogacar has already won a stage, he doesn't have the same need he had yesterday.
The only way for the break to fail is if a dangerous rider for the top 10 gets in, and teams like Movistar or Bahrain control for Mas or Buitrago.
Or a team that doesn't put anyone in the break control it. This happened to Polti in the Giro. Let's imagine Total Energies doesn't put anyone in the break and controls it for that reason. We've seen these kinds of punishing situations.
Mohoric talks a lot with Pogacar, he probably knew that tomorrow UAE will let arrive the break.
