My point was of course that many Pogi fans have been talkning up Hautacam stage as stage where Pog will deliver the knockout blow. And if it doesn't happen they will probably be disappointed, understandably. They usually like to see Pog dominate and are probably a bit frustrated that he hasn't dropped Vinge already.So...guess what happens if all Vingo does is "follow" all the way to Paris?
If Vinge can follow an attacking Pog on Hautacam it will be a huge achievement, especially given how strong Pog has been in the mountains. It will prove that Vinge also has reached a higher level.
But obviously it's not enough to just follow Pog, even if that is impressive in itself, he must also distance Pog. And that will be hard and I'm not that hopeful he can do it, certainly not on Hautacam. I still believe that Vinge's best chance, if he has any, are on really hard mountain stages (14, 18, 19), but I'm not certain this is true anymore.
