Pogacar has won Liège three times, a stage with 4,500 meters of altitude and second-class climbs is also his terrain.
better to attack tomorrow by a rider who also won LBL twice and CSS 3X than wait for the high mountains

Only interesting thing that might happen is Visma sneakily sneaking Jorgenson in the break. But I doubt it.

No team in the break will want Jorgenson with them because that will mean the GC teams will close the gap.The other teams would probably help with whatever power they have if Jorgenson is in the break.
Yes, but you can't approach it as if it weren't Pogacar's territory.Pogacar has also won four Lombardia races, which is harder than CSS.
We only really had 7 this year. Yesterday was an active rest day.When was the last time we had 10 consecutive days of racing at the TdF?
Gall or Carlos Rodriguez might be let off the leash tomorrow but nobody above them.. And the preferred weapon is gone, Almeida had to quit.. UAE will pay much more attention to small details, more attention to marginal gains not less. As you said anything involving Jorgenson is doomed immediatelyNo team in the break will want Jorgenson with them because that will mean the GC teams will close the gap.
Without Jorgenson, the break is more likely to win the stage tomorrow.
In any case, Jorgenson finished eighth last year, far behind Pogacar. He's no Roglic in the high-mountains.
It won’t stick but I expect the yellow jersey to float off the front in a group at least once during break formation and cause panic behind.Only interesting thing that might happen is Visma sneakily sneaking Jorgenson in the break. But I doubt it.
Stage 3 as well, so only 6 days and they‘ll come in the 2nd and 3rd week each.We only really had 7 this year. Yesterday was an active rest day.
The holiday tomorrow only explains the rest day postponed to Tuesday. The flat stage today has nothing to do with the holiday.Ok so that explains why the flat stage today, they're all on holiday tomorrow, note to self pay more attention to the race schedule in future 😳
Kuss to go into break, take yellow and chug entire bottle of bubbly on the podium.Jorgenson:
Tomorrow I expect that it will be a very key and decisive stage. The first mountains we've seen in the Tour de France, which is always a big explosion. And we'll see big, big time gaps.
It almost looks like Visma will do something crazy tomorrow!

After that, all Visma riders declare undying loyalty to GC Kuss.
This would be a lot of fun to watch even though I think it would put a nail into the GC even before we get to Hautacam..As Visma wants to make the day hard apparently I predict:
Visma to make the race hard and burn their matches to early, then 50k to go, Remco and Pogi will go on a raid and never be seen again while Vingegaard has a small moment of weakness, just in the right moment.
Stage should be very dynamic, so my prediction is as much a guess as it is a wish and probably wrong.
Can't believe we had to wait 10 days for the Tour to start.
