Says a lot about the level of this race that Mezgec gets in 4th. Bit of a meme race.

Mezgec got a baby as a reward

Congratulations to Tadej Pogačar for taking the stage and green.

Pogi was like lets go i will work for you. And Majka was like please no. Too bad the field isn't a bit stronger as it would make for a good stage race. For example some of the descend sections today could be a thriller.

I‘m happy for Pog and his countrymen, that they can celebrate cycling in these beautiful summer days of June - watching Pogi almost in TdF shape. :)

This year, however, I actually wished there were rules that require Rog and Pog to do either Dauphine or TdS. Then we would have seen Rog in CdD (which came true), and Pog in TdS.

Lance‘s favourite prep race always was Dauphine. Curious what prep strategy for June will become Tadej‘s standard strategy in future years.

Also is it me or does Kirby have an obsession with Felline and Double?

To be fair Double was probably the rider from the smallest team so that deserves a shout out. Also Kirby probably feels he needs to redress the balance with Hatch who only seems to wank on about British riders on Ineos.

TBH it's hard to assess Pogi's form at this race. Last year on this stage he was way more impressive demolishing the field. This year the gaps are small and no watt bomb happened (at least so far) but possibly riding with Rafał changed the situation yesterday.

Lets see on what happens today on Velika planina. This will be a good test and indicator in regards to Pogi and his TDF form. And i guess the same can be said for his teammate Majka.

No, this is not Pogi home village. This is Velika planina. The finish of todays stage.

The steepest part of the road is prepared and awaiting for Pogi arrival.


At around 13 o'clock, two hours from now, the peloton will reach Pogi home village Klanec.

Translating Klanec to English language. Slope or steep or a hill. You get the picture. Apperently the plan still is for the peloton to stop today in Klanec and to drink a mandatory "špricer"!

And after to undergo the grand finale.
