Only problem could be that he is now closer again and Roglic et al will just spring onto him again an negate his attacks. Though Pogi is so aggressive I could see him just continue to attack until he is alone or a very select group willing to work is formed.

If Roglic would start to ride seriously after attacks they could form an offensive trio with Nairito.
 
It's amazing how aggressively he is riding. I remember watching an interview with him from a couple of years back when he was still riding for Slovenian conti team Sava. He was talking about what kind of rider he is and he said he is a defensive rider who usually only follows on the climbs. Well since he turned pro he has been a completely different rider. He is one of the most attacking rider in the peloton right now. Chapeau young man. A bright future ahead of you, no doubt.

Reactions: Forever The Best
I just came to the forum today to say that I :strawberry: Pogacar (that strawberry was the closest I found to a heart).

Some here say he will be more closely followed during his next attack, but I reckon many opted out of following his attacks today, simply because they didn't have the legs!

ps: I totally dig his bike, too.
 
He took 40 seconds back on guys like Roglic, Bernal, and Quintana. I realize someone from that group might have tried to follow . . . but I'm not sure they had the legs. If true, Poga might have a chance to do not too bad on GC. (I don't want to come out and say it . . . with the jinx effect.)

Bernal: 2017 wins Avenir, 2018 wins California, 2019 wins the Tour
Pogačar: 2018 wins Avenir, 2019 wins California, 2020 ___
 
The real deal. A few years ago, not sure why, I watched Tour of Slovenia. The main attractions were Majka and Visconti, then I discovered this very young lad with a funny name from a no name team who was fighting with the WT riders. Turns out now he's fighting for the yellow jersey.
