Cycling is cruel. I don't know what to expect to be honest. Without crashes, I thought Pogacar would crush Visma tomorrow. The gap in Dauphiné was too big for someone to totally close in 4 weeks.
Now, let's see. For me cycling can't go lower than Armstrong's confession or Contador's crash in 2014. So all good!

So Pogi hit the deck. Looked like a harmless fall, but just some road rash, nothing broken, no real drama. He even said, “just skin, I’ve had worse days.”

Still, he admitted that “the next day is never easy,” so there might be some discomfort tomorrow. But honestly:
a) Road rash sucks, but in this case it’s superficial (and it looks like it is), it shouldn't really impact his performance.
b) Pain can be annoying, especially if it’s on shoulders/hips/hands (depends where he landed), but we’ve seen guys ride through much worse.
c) He seemed mentally fine after the stage, laughing, relaxed, not rattled at all.

Unless something unexpected flares up overnight, I’d say he’ll be 100% ready to fight on Hautacam.

Being sore when adrenaline is high is not good. Tomorrow, we will see how he is.

yes I have the same impression, it doesn't seem too bad, but still he won't be at 100%. My expectation before today was that he would gain 50 sec on Hautacam, now I expect him to arrive with vingegaard or even loosing 15-20 sec

Relax my friend.

I saw you posting on the race thread that the Tour is over after he fell.
I know you are nervous, as I am.

But this guy is a god damn gladiator.
In Pogi we trust.

I still believe in a nuclear bomb tomorrow. He is pissed. In pain, a bloody lion hurt and hungry.

But to be fair most said it before they saw the helicopter shot. Seeing it from behind you don't really see how Johannessen came from behind and cut Pog off.

Believe most changed their mind after the helicopter view. Maybe those who accused Pog should have waited before more shots were shown. But hey, this is a forum, people react right away.

Yes, fair enough, it's very different seeing from the helicopter.

Most of them didn't turn until his crash. They turn after.

From the start of this short clip my monitor shows a QS rider jump hard from the middle of the road to the right side he is the first to react, he is followed by the Bora rider who was just in front of UNO-X rider also Jorgenson starts to react as well. THJ follows Bora (Lipowitz?) who is going for the QS wheel. The last 3 to respond are Vingo, Remco and Roglic and they start moving as Pogi is falling, so if by "most" you mean "about half" I will concede that point. Anyway I'm done beating this particular horse.
