I would say Jorgenson's riding so far hasn't really been that tactical. He's attacked the most out of any of the GC guys.

They talked straight after the finish line:

no pro wants to win like that (unless they are Contador...chain-gate, haha). particularly if it is the absolute favorite/GOAT who goes down.
you wait on the day.
once they catch up and cannot stay with further fireworks, then all's fair.
I think the thinking is also, that the "advantage" could play out over the next few days if the injuries have any effect, and again at that point, all's fair.

There's literally a video of Pog and THJ chatting after the finish.

Yes, I‘d say racing incident, one being on the radio, going straight on for some time, other trying to take the fastest line thinking everyone else is racing as well and not realising that they aren‘t, that happens

Fwiw I'm glad they waited, or if they had attacked at least having the guts to admit they did it.
I'm still bitter about certain riders attacking in those situations and then pretending they didn't know.

I was reading this twitter from Mihai about his interview with europsort where he said "he said nothing to me" seems he talked in the video you linked though.

I disagree on that. He waits and times his attacks. Hoping to get some sneaky easy time. I haven't seen one Jorgenson attack where i thought why does he do that at this point in the race. his attacks are tactically timed. Today as well. He did not went at the foot of that final climb. Not even at the top. he went during a moment where everyone was kinda looking around wondering if the fireworks were over and they were just going to ride in together.

To be fair, it seems as though that bitching was not so much bitching as media (or social media) framing his answers to explicit questions in some controversial way.
Like with him saying visma was 'annoying' with the attacks, it was clear he was trying to make a joke, and it was reported as 'pogacar being sassy' or whatever.
So after the crash fest and s***show that the Giro was now we get Almeida (the third best climber in the world) out and Pog crashed.
Pathetic route, crashes, bidongates. This highly anticipated TDF is aging like a bag of p***.

Considering the amount of idiocy we see from teams day in day out this isn't the great argument you think it is.

Yeah i agree, just a shame that there was so much conflicting info going around on twitter.
I think the fact you have to specify this in brackets tells me you're not totally sure this is true.

Literally one rider out of the potential Top 10 has crashed out, that basically happens every Tour, it‘s been tame crashwise.
I would have been 100% sure if he stayed in the race.
The same way we won't know what a healthy Pog would have achieved.
He didn't go at the foot of the climb... are you being serious? Of course he didn't. Even Pogacar usually attacks over the top.
He's not a "let the chips fall where they may fall" kind of rider, but he has been the guy causing the most trouble for Pogi in terms of having to respond, so far.

Well, the thing is, I know that even the best coaches and players make mistakes, but I don't for a second think that I can do a better job than they do. Because that would be...what's the word...hubris.

Maybe it is the opposite mate. It wasn't me who show (once again) a tremendous incoherence (I'm not taking about you).
"Pogacar crashes, he is good and this will not hamper him". With Remco is a completely different conversation". Incoherence at his best!

It’s nice to see folks enjoying the race.
maybe THJ meant "he said nothing wrong to me" but still seems controvertial, a hearing disorder maybe
Watch again, the group moves as a snake and thj follow the motion, pog does not.
