If Rodriguez/Almeida/... lost more time, he should really start considering attacking for 2nd.

If he’s feeling like today he’ll go for it.So he now has roughly 8 minutes on Almeida, Landa and Rodriguez. He's within 2 minutes of Vingegaard.
I think he's the favourite for 2nd now. Vingegaard is fading. Evenepoel has found consistency, pretty surprising actually.Looking forward to the next days. He looks strong. He will fight now for 2nd place. Podium seems safe for it.
You never know in a GT. I take it day by day. Longer climbs again and Vingo may be better tomorrow, but I’m hoping he could gain some time so we have an exciting TT.I think he's the favourite for 2nd now. Vingegaard is fading. Evenepoel has found consistency, pretty surprising actually.
I don't know if that's really the case though. Then you use Vingegaard as the benchmark. Compared to Pogacar it's similar to the start.Really exciting that he’s getting better as the race goes on.
Which of the two is surprising? I know i'm one of the few who voted Vingegaard to fade in the 3rd week in that poll. So that to me is not surprising. But we'll need to wait a few days because these guys have a habit of making us say stuff that makes us look like an ass a few days later.I think he's the favourite for 2nd now. Vingegaard is fading.

Agreed. In fact, riders rarely get better as race goes on —they just maintain good form while others get worse.I don't know if that's really the case though. Then you use Vingegaard as the benchmark. Compared to Pogacar it's similar to the start.
Pogacar won’t let that happen. Pogi will ride away himself or he’ll see if Remco is able to gap Vingegaard. Once that happens, he’ll jump to Remcohe has enough time to even go for a suicide attack for the overall win
it's a zero risk all reward scenario given his lead on 4th
Welp, he showed he wants to try and Jonas is showing his limits. He can continue doing this with Pogacar's permission every day until the TT.Yeah but I don't see him attacking today for example. He won't force it himself knowing what is coming the following days.
He's improving as fast as Vindegaard is fading. It's the scenario that will see him in 2nd, IMO>Really exciting that he’s getting better as the race goes on.
He did well and he had Tadej's clearance to do this. Pogacar wants Jonas and his team to be completely beyond the top step before he'll respond to Remco. It's an obvious strategy.Nice try today. He gained a bit of time while the mutants visibly didn't want to cooperate. JV doms did their job as well.
Not bad for a rider who is not built for GT's in his first TDF, aye Oldermanish?He's improving as fast as Vindegaard is fading. It's the scenario that will see him in 2nd, IMO>
Everything I've suggested he could do. But let's be honest; Vingegaard is also showing the signs of his abbreviated preparation and Remco is taking appropriate advantage of it. He's also getting help from the guy in Yellow who continues to show he's the Boss.Not bad for a rider who is not built for GT's in his first TDF, aye Oldermanish?
