In the Eurosport broadcast of Klasikoa, Juan Antonio Flecha commented that since Mur de Bretagne, Pogi knew the Tour was going to be a walk in the park, and that after Peyragudes TT, he knew Tour was over. I don't know when he said this, but it would be good to know.

He suggested a talk with someone from staff. Take into account that Flecha is the opposite to a fanatic!

Pogacar doesn't lack confidence, it's not that hard to believe he really thought he would win the Tour after the first week. He was very happy to finish stage 10 without any misfortune, maybe because he knew he would win the Tour quite easily. But you don't need to be a genius to understand the Tour was over even before the start. What we saw in the Dauphiné was very telling.

Majka is retiring. For me, he's the best domestique UAE has ever had.
Who would have thought that after the conflicts during Contador's time, because he wanted to win stages. He finished on the podium at the Vuelta and won the Tour de France mountains jersey.
In his maturity, he was Pogacar's most loyal domestique.

I saw him in good shape at the Giro, but he's decided to retire, leaving a good memory.
Hello Froome.

Makes zero sense!! Pogacar has crashed multiple times this year and none have resulted in injuries that require body repair, when Pogacar crossed wheels and smashed into the street, TDF could have been over right there.
When he crashed at Strade Bianchi got up and chased instead of getting into an ambulance, again his whole season is a flip of a coin ,completely based on good luck..Much of the current marvel at Tadej should be just how f-cki#$ lucky he is to pop up and ride away instead of being ushered to the hospital.. His luck might hold up, but bike wreck accidents have a different history.. I have no explanation why he continues to crash injury free and everyone else gets something broken!!
TDF could have been completely different when Pogacar smashed to the ground

He just fought for stages when Contador wasn't able to win.

He is too good. Even when he has hard crashes, he smashes the competition. This doesn't mean those crashes didn't hamper him, this means he is so much better.

Rafel Majka has been giving Isaac Del Toro a bike racing master class, he has helped Del Toro at every turn. I hope that Pogacar can do something to help exploit Majka's excellent form in 2025, guy can win again before it's over.
