Lmao Pog has all the legs and is riding like a coward
Mate . What you are smoking.
We're talking about a guy who lost the Tour last year, and who made a lot of mistakes in that tour by wasting energy and being very aggressive. He will learn from that mistake.
And now we have a stage that is uniporto with 2 hard mountain stages to follow over the weekend. He would be very silly to attack like a maniac , today stage is not the stage to make a difference.
The pacing of UAE was likely to test vineggard, to see if they could take advantage of weakness without pogacar himself spending energy before next 4 hard stage.
You yourself are a roglic fan so It's strange to me that you make this criticism of pogacar.
