Under what scenario would they pull for Pog? This is the dumbest comment on today's thread. Congratulations.

Gaining time on Remco and Roglic.

"How dare Visma ride smart in their attempt to win this race? Their main priority should be entertaining me and helping Pog"

-Every Pogacar fan

 

[jaylew]

If Jorgenson works, Tadej will just attack Vingegaard on the next sector. It's still to early to help, imo.

 

[Miha81]

One of the most impressive things I've see this tour.

He looks crazy strong today

 

[Warhawk]

Jonas obviously is iffy on the gravel compared to the others, why would they burn Jorgenson pulling on the asphalt just to let Pogacar attack on the gravel again and not having anyone to lead Jonas? Wouldn't make sense.

 

[Blobs]

Pog Cult is mad that Visma are riding smart in their own interest. Hilarious.

Lol yes.

It's like expecting football teams to score own goals, to make it more entertaining.

 

[RobertCrawley]

Vingegaard clearly not worried about Evenepoel in the mountains.

Probably feels he will gain plenty then.

No, Jonas is not worried about Remco until Remco can prove himself in the mountains.

Where is Landa??

 

[Peyroteo94]

Pogacar isn't burning more matches than Vingegaard. We can clearly see Vingegaard is on the limit when he has to follow Pogacar

no need to be nasty.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Bilbao is and continues to be one of the savviest racers in the peloton.

Pull for Pogi or pull against Remco and Roglic? And it would obviously have been Jorgenson and Vingegaard could have saved himself on their wheels.

That said, if they think only Pogi matters and they will distance him again in the last week, then it was the right thing to do nothing.

Serious data analysis being done in the visma command vehicle to determine optimal tactic

 

[Berniece]

There is no execuse for what jumbo and jonas did here. They have Evenpoel back and roglic and they are 2v1 and he still cant go around Theres nothing anyone can say to make that make sense. Ridiculous

They only care about winning and thus tiring Pogacar

 

[Gigs_98]

Such a phenomenal stage

 

[Barnacle Bill]

Gaudu preparing to put the hammer down

 

[ChewbaccaDefense]

I don't know why Visma would pull. Let Poga

Vingegaard clearly not worried about Evenepoel in the mountains.

Probably feels he will gain plenty then.

He is also CLEARLY struggling today...so yeah, might as well pull and endanger his chances of staying with Pog...

 

[titan31]

to distance Remco.

Who cares about Remco? He's shown nothing to say he can hang in the big mountains with Vingegaard and Pogacar

Team work made the dream work for tratniks bike

 

[RobertCrawley]

The green group is still 40 seconds away. Nice job by the leading group.

They are worried that Pogi will attack in the longer 2nd to last sector so dont want to give him a rest.

They would rather everyone finish together than put 40 seconds into Remco and Roglic but have the potential to lose like 40 seconds to Pogi.

 

[Potomac]

Where is the person to yell CAV like they were doing earlier when Lutsenko goes.
?

 

[Jack_89]

Jonas was on his limit. He wouldn't and couldn't have to pull. He did the right move

 

[perico]

UAE is not going to help Evenepoel.

You don’t say?

 

[ppanther92]

Honestly, as packed as UAE is in the mountains, as captain I would still prefer to ride for Visma.
