This sort of thing is just part of our sport. There's a reason it's so hard to win Tour after Tour. Even if you're the best rider by a large margin, crashes happen in a 3 week bike race.

Obviously, none of us know Pog's condition. Maybe even Pog doesn't know the true impact of it. The timing is tough, the day before what might be the 3 decisive stages of the Tour. We'll see. I do think Jumbo is going to attack like crazy tomorrow. It would be poetic justice if they are over confident tomorrow and blew themselves up. I am a Pog fan who picked Jonas to win so I am obviously not super confident but then again, it is usually a bad idea to bet against Pog.

My prediction for tomorrow :

1) Visma hammer the first half of Hautacam.

2) Because UAE very weak, Pogi alone vs 4 Visma by km 3 of Hautacam.

3) Vingegaard attack with 5km to go. Pogi jumps on his wheel

4) Last 2km Vingegaard puts an attack, because of bad sleep and soreness Pogacar's fitness will be impacted and Vingegaard will distance Pogi.

5) Pogi loses 38 seconds to Vingegaard.

Seems like the paintwork is scratched but there should be no reason why the engine would be affected,

The engine might not be affected by the impact but it always needs good recovery after each efforts.

Scratch and skin abrasions impact sleep quality and thus recovery.

He is right. I don't like to see riders stopping just for Pogacar to comeback. One thing is attacking when he was coming from a pee break, other is waiting for him with 5 km to go. He would lose 30 seconds today, let's see if this will make any difference.

Really? Saying "lets take advantage of his crash and lets win the race here" is this right? There was no stage win up for grabs or bonus seconds to fight for

Imo pog just has to ride defensive for tomorrow. Follow jonas wheel and out sprint him at the line. No need for wasting energy, give the body time to heal by riding conservative & put the hammer down in the 3rd week

I understand your point but there is no other way they can beat him.

Before the crash I expected the following from Pogacar on Hautacam :
Dropping Vingegaard with around 30 secs
Time on the climb: Around 34:00
Now I would be happy with staying with Vingegaard.

Even over 30s was possible. If he loses to Jonas some time tomorrow he can go back to Slovenia straight away
