Pogacar nr 2 tomrrow?`Nr1? Anyway a big big day for every GC contender. That hill is more selective than I first thought both uphill and downhill the most important day coming up so far!

Nr 1. But the most important thing is to put Vingegaard over 1 minute in the GC

Pogacar should put time into everyone bar Evenepoel and potentially Roglic if he’s like Contador.

Pogi, the cannibal he is, will be motivated tomorrow just by the fact that he could win against Remco.
Moreso than putting time into Vinge, i think.

Indeed. Several riders will puncture. I saw that Tour de femmes stage. No way a rider will be helped within minutes. Maybe a teammate can give a wheel or even his bike. But anyway, if one of the GC-contenders gets a flat tire on one of the gravel strips, his GC-ambitions will be gone. That cannot be the intention of the organizers ASO.

Maybe that's exactly where Pogi has an advantage in 2 ways:
1. He is superbly "lucky" in avoiding punctures&crashes
2. Even if he punctures, he's the best rider to be able to catch up, provided he has a mate with a bike or a wheel.

I don't think that's an accurate description of his view on the matter. It would surprise me a lot if you could support your assertion.
Do you honestly believe that is his held view? Do you honestly believe that is the best characterisation of his stated view?

@Krzysztof_O I need you to spit it out who wins tomorrow? And where does Pogacar get. Your the man.

No.
But after his characterisation of Bonette as 'nothing special' and this, I am confused and do think he underestimates altitude.

It was like on Passo Foscagno. Between 6.7 and 6.9 w/kg in the last 13 minutes....it doesn't make sense just taking a subsplit of a bigger climb.
It was 6/6.1 w/kg in 35 minutes. The whole climb should be considered, not just the last 13 minutes.
If the first part of the climb is in slow pace, obviously the rider (whatever rider is) is more fresh to push more power in the last kilometres of the climb.

Obviously the altitude impact the perfomance, but not in the same way for every rider.

Angliru is the perfect climb for these kind of numbers. It is steep, low altitude and is usually paced hard just as it was last year. Short and not very hard stage before Angliru also helped.

Now instead of here to get inside information from @mou first, we just listen to johan bruyneel for the same information (from mou). Today’s scripture from @mou is to look at pogis energy expenditure efficiency compared to competitors. 3600 calories expended stage 5 by Jorgensen, 2600 by ramco, 1600 by pogi.

One of the UAE mechanics spoke for the Slovenian TV and said that his TT bike is more aero and almost 1,5kg lighter. He said that based on the calculations they did he'd be another 40sec faster than Ganna on that ITT that he won.

40s with the new bike. And the old bike was already 30s faster than the previous one. Then there is Pogi's new training regime, detract another 30s. New socks, 5s. New helmet, 30 seconds. Better nutrition, 25 seconds... Soon they'll be going back in time.
Same with Visma's new helmets. You have to wonder how good the other guy's helmets are, because since Visma has been using those helmets, they have been left in the dust by my grandma on her tricycle.

And how did they get those numbers from the other riders? To calculate this, you need all the information that is mostly a secret and only known within the team.

This was just setting the stage for a shock. You can’t show who you really are if they already know who you really are…

Mou crawled under team buses and secretly collected samples of their fesces
"What we have here? Is this vegeterian what I see?"
