What do you prefer?
8-9 Stage wins and beating Vinge by 10 mins vs winning Tour + Vuelta against Jonas.
I prefer the double.
Not that at all. I wanted him to stamp his authority on ventoux & loze & ride extremely defensive on vuelta. There were moments in the final i thought i am seeing the vuelta espagna

Implying he wouldn't beat Vingo at Vuelta in the 1st scenario, which isn't the case. It hurts Vingo more to try to follow and drop than it hurts Pog to attack and it would compound over time during the Tour.

Absolutely shameless behavior today by Visma. That brake check of their team car wasn't an accident. The team should be thrown out of the race.
They are desperate. They wanted to crash out Pog in the descent today (which is game on of course).

I really think the absence of Almeida is costing Pogačar a couple of stage wins more in this Tour. Still, he is only 3 stages away from reaching the real goal, winning a 4th Tour.
I think he rides conservative and saves for the Vuelta.

Shows the expectation he has set if people are genuinely disappointed. He has ridden the Alps smart when you have a 4 minute buffer. His team also misses the final piece of jigsaw in the mountains and he has still.dominated the Tour. One more mountain stage to survive and practically the Tour is his

He is not doing Vuelta so what should he save it for ? Lombardia over 3 Months from now?

I had nothing against Ayuso, but I didn't like this Vuelta thing at all. It seems like too much of a coincidence that Ayuso leaked to the press that he wants to leave, and now they're including him in the Vuelta, when they had said he wouldn't go even if Pogacar didn't.

And Pogacar hinted at the Dauphiné that he would go, but now he doesn't. The team has convinced him, and it's a mistake because the next two world championships also suit him.

The Tour-Vuelta is very physically demanding; he had to do it now when he's at his best.

You are talking about some random rumours. Nothing has been said about Ayuso for the Vuelta.
