Likely UAE too cooked today on stage 6, to prepare terrain for the ultimate climb, still Pogi avoiding to punch is telling. Lets see on how the TT goes, especially the final third. Somehow i feel Pogi is geared towards climbing this time and the rest is not all that important.

Tadej Pogacar (UAD): "I would have allowed Plapp to take the Pink jersey, that would have been good too, but Ineos Grenadiers rode on the gravel sections and in the last kilometers, so we are not didn't get there."

Since your clearly so mature and objective in all your responses to Pogacar non stop, and clearly no small d energy towards him at all :tearsofjoy:, a piece of advice since its beyond obv, just let it rest it will be better for you and life will be better, just a advice. :tearsofjoy:
That really adds to the conversation, thank you for your contributions.

It must be hard being a Pog hater. I mean if you’d have to choose to hate one rider, from the satisfactory rate POV - to choose Pog is a really bad choice. And all you and @Berniece are left with is Merckx. The final frontier. The impenetrable fortress of greatness never to be conquered by another living soul… But guess what… Each year that passes by, the voices are louder. First they were a mere subtle whispers, hinting the possible similarity. Couple of years later, we are talking Pog vs Merckx on daily basis. This really isn’t going your way, that’s all I’m saying…
You have a point, sir.

And right as you post this... providing some actual perspective on it... they start attacking you instead. Board is in a sad state.
 
They got to the stage where the gap was 20 seconds with 4km to go. All they need to do is 4km working on the front then they get a stage win basically. I don't know why they didn't
Looking at the highlights at that point and until nearly 2km Movistar had 3 guys pretty much gumming up any group rotation. The road was narrow so it would've taken at least 3 guys faster and more dedicated than Plapp to make a dent in the gap and there weren't. Piccolo's attack had no chance, but was likely a diversion to a group pursuit as well.
No need for any GC guys to chase unless they were at risk from Luke Plapps's 29 second time gain. Better to rest for TT like folks ahead of me in the responses have said and not crash.

That would be crazy, if he takes one minute in the TT, he‘d need to take two minutes on the MTF, impossible
The prophet mou and last years TDF ITT result in which Jonas put 3min into third place WVA have sent expectations into the stratosphere :sweatsmile: And Jonas is coming back, so it's practically a necessity!

Let see if he can produce a 3 minute gap to Thomas in the next 2 stages.
Do you mean the gap in total? From 46s now to 3min? Thus taking 2min 14s over the next two stages? Or really 3min extra? I don't see the last one happening. If you think he would, on which stage does he take how much time?

The final climb on Saturday is pretty regular and not too steep, not the best climb for putting major time into Thomas.
I'd expect about 90 seconds over the 2 stages at the most.
