He didn't even say it like that

Doesn't it become clear afterwards? For example in 2016, Contador crashed in stage 1 and finished but then lost time on uphill finishes and retired later on stage 9 due to the injuries. Or Roglic 2022 who crashed, somehow finished 3rd on PDBF, then retired after the Granon stage where he lost minutes. Or maybe Pogacar is fine like Roglic in 2019/2021 Vuelta.
EDIT: Worth noting that I don't have any problem with racing after a crash by the way.
Jorgenson may be taking up the role of tough American cowboy, he might be buying into all the hype that he has arrived, he is somebody, his resume says different.. After he wins a grand tour, has worn rainbow, then talk schit..otherwise stop with all the petty back and forth, stick to stealing bottles. Some ginger with porn mustache coming off like tough guy enforcer ..stay in your lane. Went from gentlemen to punk in a few days.

It's not so simple. There was very little control in that group and at the point of the crash, attacks were flying off the front constantly. Then they stopped after Pog hit the deck.

Completely, he is trying to excuse his terrible behaviour. I hope this loser eats his mouth tomorrow.
I think that's why they waited for him, because it wasn't his mistake.
That's a yellow card in a sprint finish.
That dangerous move at that point in the race makes no sense.
The UnoX rider went to the UAE bus to apologize.
He will.
Pogi is just collecting receipts my friend.
With or without road rash, tomorrow he will serve a stomping to Jorgenson.

I have faith in Pogacar smoking everyone tomorrow. If he was going to win by 1 minute 30 sec yesterday. He'll probably win with a minute 15 at worst tomorrow. That's what i honestly think. Wait and see ofcourse. you never know. But i'd be very surprised if Tadej isn't lightning everyone up tommorow on the final climb.
Though i'm personally hoping Vingegaard keeps pace and Remco is better than expected as well.
I don't want a boring race. I want this tour to remain close. And as a remco fan i want him to do well ofcourse.

You can’t necessarily judge crash by speed. Clearly Pog’s injuries are nowhere near as serious as Almeida’s and you don’t jump up as quickly as he does even if you have adrenalin if there is a serious structural issue (ie a fracture).
It is also fair that almost all crashes which involve road rash will leave that person in a less optimal position than if they had not crashed, that is not rocket science. How much a particular crash impacts varies on severity and individuals etc and it may also change strategy.
Instead of looking to attack he may try and play conservatively tomorrow and just try and follow, but it’s all speculation because as anyone who has ever crashed knows you don’t really know until the following day how you feel.
I’ve crashed banged my hip with relatively limited road rash and felt a lot worse than when i have skidded and taken off a lot of skin even if the latter meant i slept less!

In a sprint finish, this wouldn‘t come up because Pogačar would also be taking the fastest line.
Taking out Pogi, Rogla style. It ain't Wright.

I still think this shows Pogacar straightens a bit one or two seconds before they touch wheels (which is why from the moto view it looks like he moves to the left – he doesn't, but he does relative to the movement he had immediately before).
And, as mentioned, he was on the radio as the race suddenly moved to the right.
I mean, it's never ideal to crash, but Gianetti said it was nothing serious, and when has Gianetti ever told a lie?

Attacks were flying off the front? After the climb, there was literally 1 'attack' from Narvaez, then the 2nd was Vauqelin, where Pog crashed. That's it. Nothing was happening at all.
Not sure because Pogacar was moving backwards so it's akin to a leadout man. I think it would still be called a racing incident.

How could they know? Riders in a race don't have the benefit of watching a hundred replays like we do from our sofas. That's not the reason why they waited, I'm pretty sure of it.
