The profile of the final climb suits Pog more are we know Visma are kind of a race by numbers team.

Guess they didnt want to risk losing 5-10 seconds here (which was a 90% outcome if Vingegaard went super deep as Pog would get on his wheel and probably go past him)... and think maybe can claw time back in the high mountains.
Maybe you haven't been attention for the past 18 months but the profiles that suit Pogacar start on Thursday.
I saw it impossible to drop Vingo on a 8 min hill.

Adam Blythe saying he doesn't believe Pog wanted to lose yellow. He is such a Jumbo Visma shill. Clueless.
You really think he wanted to lose yellow before rest day/media circus?
Come on bud, They riding for media-obs to team and themself, and restdays is one of the biggest promodays of the tour.
You can bet they & everybody wanna be in yellow for restday, but UAE couldn't today, it would cost too much to hail back those strong riders in the front, with Hayley going all in.
Relating to the facts doesn't mean that person as perse.. is a shill.. on the other hand...ignoring obvious signs and facts if you will.... hmm yeah..

Yates smarter than the rest by attacking the last 500 metres of the descent before the climb. O'Connor silly to full gas at the bottom of the climg to catch up to yates which killed his finish. A well timed effort by Arensman left on the final climb.

Anyone criticizing Visma for today should check where Adam Yates finished and tell me who's winning the Great Twin Experiment

Pog could barely hide his smile for the last 1km.

Visma should've kept Roglic if they wanted to 1-2 Pogacar. nobody is gonna be afraid of Matteo Jorgenson.

Disagree. If Pog really wanted it, he would have had it. It was close in the end and he sat up, and not because he was empty. They also took their foot off the gas earlier in the stage.

Like literally everyone was predicting that though given the race situation, does he just like being contrary for the sake of it ?

Was it Saturday where he basically violently agreed with exactly what Robbie was saying but started off saying youre totally wrong and then actually just repeating Robbies point

Roglic wanted to go. So they made deal and a different team paid up the $$$.

Ayuso meanwhile is never getting out.

I have only ever been ridden past by three professional cyclists...

which happens to include the stage winner today and the yellow jersey holder!
Class!

Cav once overtook me in the Peaks when he was world champ. He was moto pacing behind Rob Hayles though.

I am quite lucky where I live we have have had some decent pro's and pro triathletes over the years. But certainly puts you in your place lol.

i know, but maybe they could've tried harder to appease him and keep him. Jorgenson as your wild card GC rider is not gonna work.

All hopes (if there are any) to be dashed hard on Wednesday. Battle for 3rd podium spot could be fun I guess.
