Finally a happy Pogi in his element, outnumbered and still, if Ballerini dosen't close on the second passage, he might have won this. Counting the days to Kigali.
Those are cobbled climbs too. He is gonna murder everyone, isn't he?

Wellens and Narvaez should be there. They could win today
Yesterday, he fought for his stage, although Wellens was one of the riders who worked the hardest, so there's little to criticize him for. But if they knew Pogacar was going to compete in the stage, it's strange that no teammate was involved.

This stage was too short, which is the big difference with De Ronde. Pogacar pushed himself harder all Tour, and Van Aert obviously saved his strength.
Vingegaard's wife will be happy :sweatsmile:

I have nothing against Vingegaard, but I can't understand why anyone would prefer him over Pogacar. On days like today, the difference in ability and attitude is abysmal.
Not everyone can like blue. In other words, I don't get it but it's also good to have people with different "tastes" (except when they are trolls).

The guy loves classics.
Completely different animal.

He loves classics as it is simple racing, like in childhood: who's the first to the line. In stage races there is stress during and between stages and in case of GTs it lasts 3 weeks. Pogi probably doesnt like the Tour because its 3 weeks of stress while the pressure and obligation to win is the biggest.

Yeah, he also hates bidongates, brake checking, trash talking, mind games etc...

Chapeau Pog. Could really have used Johnny or Timmy today, but WVA is my favorite rider, so...

Kinda hope he doesn't do La Vuelta and just smashes Kigali and Lombardia!
