Draft is what will make impossible to MVP in dropping Pogi

It's not only about draft. MVP can gain a few meters just by riding a technical corner faster plus a few more meters due to a stronger acceleration. Then suddenly draft becomes less important.

We are yet to see how Pogacar fares in PR: being in top5 is one thing but competing against MVP is another. The Dutch should be favoured there until proven otherwise.

The order was Politt-Wellens-Vermeersch-Pogi hammer

Yup. I thought Narvaez would be the last man of Pogacar.
On the other hand, seeing Vermeersch doing this only reinforce how strong it is and how great as a asset, he is. Best domestique Pogacar will have in both RVV and specially PR! We must not forget he was the man who (alone) destroyed in pieces the peloton in SB and almost took 2/3 minutes to the breakaway.

Only guessing but maybe they like him to try and be in the anticipatory moves in the early part of the hill zone to be linked up with after Pogi makes his biggest move.

No chance for uae if they are to be part of the anticipation move coz nobody is helping them to control the whole race even alpecine after watching todays video. Its not like in 2023 where you could send trentin & hope for cooperation for chase in the peleton. Bjergs role will end on 1st Kwaremont(140kms to finish) b/c he will be the one controlling the breakaway in the 1st 120 kms. Then morgado & polit are left to control from 140kms and if a big group goes away 110 kms to go who is gonna bring it back for uae? and who can position the team for 2nd kwaremont? I think they are going to make the race as hard as possible from 1st kwaremont till 2nd kwaremont by keeping the whole team together like in strade bianche

So why was Politt leading out Pogacar today? He will not be there if he is going to work right after the first Kwaremont.
