Well, it will be hard to put time into Pogacar here: after all we are talking about an explosive climber who placed 1st and 3rd in last two LBL! It wouldn't be shocking if he wins here but most importantly he should arrive at the finish with the leaders' group and drop them on Sveta Gora.

???? I though Fulsgang won LBL in 2019 and Roglic won in 2020 with Pogi 3rd.
 
Lol, what was that? The peleton was already in shreds at the start of the penultimate climb . Initially Pogi looked disappointed that there are just 2 guys with him and seemed to be waiting for Majka and Ulissi. But soon afterwards he decided to do a 22 km TT - he was clearly missing racing during his break. He gained a minute in 4 km of climbing, then maintained it on the dangerous descent and added more at the end. To make the race more competitive UAE decided to chase him at the end. Game over in the GC. Pog is looking thinner and in-form (though no comparison with top rivals) and his teammates are looking solid as well.
