If Pog wins this I'm gonna go crazy... It's gonna be close though!!!Pogacar 14 seconds ahead with 25k remaining, it's good this.
Disclaimer: I don't follow the behind the race stuff much anymore so maybe the rules have changed, but the last time that I read about this, even the heaviest road bikes where still under the UCI "safety" limit so if every bike is required to be at weight, the Bianchis aren't at a disadvantage.Haven't Jumbo had issues with the weight of the Bianchis? Hence them riding rim brakes and unbadged wheels, etc (and switching to Cervelo next year?). I don't know the weight difference between the XR4 and their TT bike, but I'd imagine if their road bike isn't very light, it tilts the balance back in favour of just staying on the TT bike right through.

Its 57 seconds. Can't see that. But go Pog, go anyway!If Pog wins this I'm gonna go crazy... It's gonna be close though!!!
Is it a possibility that Roglic is riding a negative split a la Froome? (and combined with/or Pogacar doing a Schleck as Eyeballs and others have suggested)
Might totally happen. Or Roglic going for a negative split and being totally in control. But Pog has to try it aggressively I guess.Remember 2010 when Andy Schleck (with a similar gap to make up) was ahead of Contador at the early check(s) and then exploded
