For a moment there I though Pog would give the stage to Vinge by riding to the finish hand in hand, maybe even hugging.

No lol

 

[RobertCrawley]

I don't get the point of asking Pogi for pulls. Vingegaard should have ridden as if he was alone and then just let Pogi mug him on the line.

You can ask. You don't always get them. In this case, Tadej did pull for Jonas for a bit.

Jorgenson with quite a strong finish. Almeida the bulldog, well done. Pog invincible. Jonas and Remco brave.

You don’t gift a stage to a Tour de France winner. That would be lame.

When was the last time someone won 11 GT stages in one year?

 

[fbjim]

let the record show that soudal quickstep disgraced the break and the heroic efforts of Enric "cyclismo" Mas

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Pog has not forgotten Stage 11.

 

[gunara]

Pog ran out of option but to win the stage

Maybe even kissing?

Lance will absolutely complain because he would‘ve gifted this. Could have left it to Jonas, but I guess that doesn‘t fit into his mentality.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Quickstep, Enricky, Carapaz, this ones on you unfortunately

Report to cycling court this monday

 

[VayaVayaVaya]

Wow for all the talk about how strong Remco is, he’s EIGHT minutes back from Pogacar and 3 minutes back from Vingegaard, who spent 12 days in the hospital in April. He still has a ways to go to get there…

Tbh, I'm sad for Jonas, as I was for Pelizzari at the Giro in Santa Cristina.

this race just bears out the strongest by order and it’s so clear through nearly all places it’s just time to finish this race

he gifted a stage to Pantani at one point which pissed Pantani off lol

 

[Cagalitroso]

God bless Remco, he has the race IQ of a fruitfly that boy

 

[slim charles]

" they forced him to win" is the most sycophantic, disingenouous narrative you could conjure up

I will allow that I'm missing something, but surely people are joking when they say that?

Still bad blood between Movistar and Quickstep

Ask Kloden about that…

Not sure what Pogacar can do to make people happy in that situation. He and his team showed all day they were happy letting the break win. But Soudal set it up for him, Jonas dropped Remco, and then why should he gift Jonas?

Yep. And I couldn’t be happier with the result. It feels right

 

[AmRacer]

Jonas might win tomorrow.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

With GC spacing as it is
there's little point in holding the ITT

 

[movingtarget]

Bad day for Remco. Carapaz must be sick of seeing Pogacar arrive in the last km or so. Good ride by Vingegaard. Landa and Almeida ate up the break's lead pretty quickly..

 

[Heston]

The real winner today is Fuglsang in 21st place. Now hes definitely gonna keep riding next year when he turns 40
