This will be like in 2004, in a few minutes.
Lance/Pogi wants Landis/Majka to win.
Landis/Majka is too slow.
Lance/Pogi sprints himself and beats Novak/Klöden.

Majka and Pog did the old one-two pretty well. Pog charitable in 3rd.
Aaah, OK… Glad for the ever loyal Majka…

Pog couldn't help himself, could he? 2 months without a race had the effects. It was Bahrain who really exploded the race though and wattage deficiency of lower-division teams was evident after just 2 km of steep climbing. Pog&Majka didn't drop Novak (it's weird they didn't try on the last climb) but played it well at the end (the way 2-1 advantage should be played). Tadej did a lot of pacing to help Majka. Congrats to Rafał! Well done. He even has a chance to win the race unless Pog decides to test his 30-minute power at some point.

Novak seemed to me the strongest in the last kms (even though he was also on the wheels for most of the time) and covered with relative ease the attack by Pog at 2 Km from the finish, maybe I am wrong but I think that Pogacar must keep an eye on him.

That was a lot harder than the stage profile suggested. Everyone got Pogged on the first stage already, crazy. Really good to see a faithful helper like Majka winning something for himself, he's in great form.
i think they probaboy rode away to discuss contract details with Novak. there was for sure a deal made when it comes to the stage.
Congratulations to Rafał Majka for taking the stage win.
A bit unexpected in regards to attacking this early in the race. And likely deciding the race already. Novak putting in a good fight. Too bad we didn't get to see a sprint of all three. Likely Moho will try to take a prestigious win and i am looking forward to that. Beyond that i don't see anybody that could keep up with UAE and Pogi on this race. In regards to GC.

I just learned Majka is only 32, same as Roglic. Seems like he's been around forever.
A sprint. The sprinters are on the strongest teams in the race, so the break can't ever be really strong.Tomorrow a stage for the sprinters or a breakaway? Groenewegen, Ackermann and Merlier all took it easy today.

You can't really make Roglic the measuring stick of cyclist's age, can you? He's always an old new kid (Mohoric is the young old guy)
Majka has been pro for what, 11 years? Which is about normal for a 32 year old who used to be a good prospect.

Wasn't Zadlog just 3.3 km at 10.8%? Anyway, 1887 m/h looks fast but considering very low elevation and short duration it's not spectacular. Pogi didn't perform an all-out attack at any point of the race. He also mentioned the heat (it was 30 degrees in valleys), which seems to be his Achilles heel.
