he managed to say everything and nothing

 

[rafa92]

Anyone knows if he changed bikes?

nope, he went to the car, but he's back in the peloton with the same bike

To me he say everything. Didnt sleep much mean the Tour will be over today for him

 

[solo80k]

Can't even know what are you suggesting.

This is the shoulder he injured yesterday during the fall. It has nothing to do with "WeKnowWhat"...

[bah]

The shoulder black .

Also appears to have a bruised Adam's Apple

 

[No Excuses]

Come on, fight like a warrior today.
If somebody can pull this off it's pog.

Gianetti said he had a good night. If he didn't sleep much it's pretty bad. I guess holding Vingo's wheel today would be a good result.

 

[Peyroteo94]

If he doesn't switch bikes, I believe he is giving up and is just promoting Colnago. No way, he chooses a bike almost 1 kg heavier.

Gianetti is a pr man & has to say it but i wonder who the staff guy is he might get fired tonight

it will be like that, honestly with the crash and this bike I am very pessimistic about today

 

[fenns]

He doesn't seem to be riding with his usual prominence

UAE should have tried to play the bluff game.

"Pogacar in absolutely horrible shape and will try his best today." - fake suffering pre-stage.

I feel like that doesn’t really look like bruising, no?

The strange thing is its the whole team except polit using the aero bike

So the guy who is expected to work against the wind for most time and on flat roads is using the least aero bike. Make sense...

They must think today isn’t steep enough to make the climbing bike worth it? Nothing else makes sense

 

[Peyroteo94]

Hautacam is almost 8% on average.

hautacam is the steepest climb of this tour after ventoux (I mean the average gradient for a long climb)

 

[nightowl]

Hautacam is almost 8% on average.

I know, which is why I’m surprised by the decision, but it’s the only thing that makes any sense for all of them to be using the aero bike.

at UAE they have to get punched in the face before they realize they should focus on every little detail

I know but surely they can’t be this dumb, to have the whole team use a bike they think is worse on purpose. They must think it’s better for some reason.

pogacar was trained by an amateur for years, I am not surprised by anything when it comes to this team

Yes I feel like he moves a lot on his bike compared to when he killed it on the Dauphine

 

[Monsi]

Shoutout to Narvaez and Yates. Stepping up when it matters. His leadout for his attack (with Wellens still not caught from the break), is looking scary.
