I'll be telling my grandchildren this was a time trial.
 
Pog is going to have to be in Tour winning form just to follow his domestiques. And if he can't, well they don't wait for no one.

Pogacar is the Japanese bullet train to Almeida’s Swiss train of efficiency and exactness. When I visited Switzerland the trains were down to the second. If Pog’s train breaks down Almeida and Yates could be headed for glory. But otherwise they’ll be waving goodbye to end up with a scenic podium at best, not shabby in its own right.

It's the same climb as last year stage 3. (And the TT is the same as TdR 2 years ago).
Except the very bottom of the road stage, there they climb the small mur used in this year's TdR Leysin stage just before the final climb.
Btw 2022 TdF climbed Col de la Croix from the other side. Jungels attacked there and won

The last climb tomorrow is the same one they use mid stage and in the TT right?

I guess Switzerland is so poor on mountains that they need to use the same climb 3 times over 2 stages.
I've posted this before, but the good burghers of the Cantons don't want their affluent neighbourhoods blocked off and spoiled by a caravan of cycling yahoos and their attendents. These people have paid good money to live in Switzerland so they don't want their ambience disturbed by helicopters, motorbikes and the riff-raff of the sporting media. "Let them cycle where the poor people live!":)

Nice to see Adam Yates and Almeida in great shape (maybe too early taking into account the tough third week of the Tour). Finally another victory for Almeida. Better in shape than his friend Evenepoel;)
What an impressive team, UAE. Partly due to the setbacks of VLAB. The question remains whether they can maintain this high form for another 4/5 weeks?
