Another short stage. I’ve been waiting for Gall to have a good day but hard to bet against Pogacar’s servants.

I'll be telling my grandchildren this was a time trial.
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.

Mate, in Portugal they do Senhora da Graca and Alto da Torre every year.
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

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?

In the pre stage interview, Higuita just said that he expects UAE to chase down the breakaway for UCI points today
Izagirre DNF (crash)
Who is chasing the break? They only have a 20-second lead

Bernal is more favoured by a hard stage than Skjelmose and Ineos has the team to make it one. Of course they should chase.

Bernal is 3rd in GC anyway, with no one close in either direction. What is he supposed to achieve?
