Some things I will find interesting today.
1. If Pog attacks it will give an indication of his ability to recover from having been down deep yesterday. It's harder to recover when you go so deep. If he does so and attacks it's fine for Jonas, he will just be wheel-sucking.
2. Pog does not have the team around that he needs to finish Jonas. It showed very clearly that UAE has based most of their tactics on just Pog being stronger than others and not having a team around him. Don't get me wrong, he has a team, but the team is not good enough in a 3 week battle.
3. If Jumbo sets it up again today will Pog be able to answer ? It would be a dream come true for all of us because it would mean another beautiful stage. It brings me back to point 1 - if Jumbo feels any kind of weakness in Pog they should drill it again.
I hope INEOS and Thomas will do some work. At least Thomas looks very good.
Nairo amazes me this tour, he looks stronger than ever. And he could definitly also be a winner today.
