Where is Matteo? Eheheh
Eh, a good question. Nothing against him ofc. But the truth is that the captain needs to be stronger or similarly to his main opponent. Otherwise, you can have even 10 domestics but if your legs aren't good...you are f××××x.
In the 2013 Contador had a much stronger team than Sky in the mountains...but Froome was on another level and Alberto was brutally beaten. A similar situation happened in the Giro 2015 with Astana vs Contador/Tinkoff
 
I want to expect the estimates of watts but I have the impression pog was not on Pdb level, and I don't think he beated the climbing record of hautacam. I talked a lot about the bike and I continue to say he doesn't look comfortable on that bike. To me the surprise of today was how bad vingegaard was, really bad

confirmed, he was 32 seconds slower than riis. At Pdb level he would have matched or even beaten the record. Vingegaard today was much worse than in 2024, pog a bit worse than 2024
