The climb had too many flat areas, the finish was not steep enough. People saying that Pogacar should have gone earlier are talking nonsense, he wouldnt have been able to make a gap.
And he (we) will never find out unless he give it a shot sometime. What an accelaration he launched - that was perfect. He looks sharp and the stages to come will be interesting.If he attacks earlier, Vingegaard catches him back.
Pogacar always has Vingegaard beat on kick, but not if the effort becomes longer than 1-2 K.
I dunno. Like this was also close to perfect for Jumbo. Stage suits Pogacar a lot more than they only lost 8 seconds and UAE did a ton of work for that 8 seconds whereas Jumbo doms took a rest day for the most partPeople think this was bad for UAE?
This was close to absolutely perfect. They prevented Jumbo from doing anything and let Pog expend effort in the most efficient way.
Don't get me wrong it's pretty boring, but they've been burned once and now they're just trying to eek back their advantages
If it was one stage where they could control it... it was probably this one.Jumbo saved their legs for tomorrow...UAE, not so much.
You did watch stage 6?If he attacks earlier, Vingegaard catches him back.

And playing the role of Magnus Cort today will be Maxim Van Gils
I expect for consistencies sake that legions of Roglic fans will be pouring in here to protest him fighting for those bonus seconds.
I typed that immediately as Pogi attacked, with Jonas still there. After it sent, he got slightly gapped.Being in someone's wheel means there's no gap between...
I don't know. Last year Vingegaard never lost the wheel of Pog.This Tour is gonna end up being the same as last year, where Pog "beats" Vingegaard by mere seconds on like 10 stages but Jonas takes minutes on like 2 different stages and wins the GC.

Pog never dropped Vingegaard last year.This Tour is gonna end up being the same as last year, where Pog "beats" Vingegaard by mere seconds on like 10 stages but Jonas takes minutes on like 2 different stages and wins the GC.
You are way smarter than this and know the climb. This type of stage.Lmao Pog has all the legs and is riding like a coward
If he was feeling strong enough, he could have gone before it flattened out tbf and then used his TT abilityThe climb had too many flat areas, the finish was not steep enough. People saying that Pogacar should have gone earlier are talking nonsense, he wouldnt have been able to make a gap.
Could be, but could equally not be. We will see soon enough.This Tour is gonna end up being the same as last year, where Pog "beats" Vingegaard by mere seconds on like 10 stages but Jonas takes minutes on like 2 different stages and wins the GC.
Because JV didn't want to give Pogačar a possibility to bridge across to him. But Pogačar made a mistake there, cause he shouldn't have followed Kuss.why did kuss close down yates? what was the point of that?
And on those 2 stages Jonas was +36s. He won the Pyrenees.I don't know. Last year Vingegaard never lost the wheel of Pog.
You did watch stage 6?
