Ayuso's just patiently playing the long game. He'll wait until week 3 before attacking Pogi.

2 guys in a break getting 10 minutes is 20 minutes. Ineos for example lost 4 minutes over the Galibier. Don't get me wrong, I think UAE are favorites, but it's not over.

And Ineos lost even more time today while UAE gained it on everyone. Only way UAE is being beat is if a team can pull off two or more riders in the breakaway on multiple stages and they finish ahead. Otherwise UAE has 3 riders that will do better than 3 riders of another team on those stages and gain big time back. The other big teams only have 1 or 2 riders Not to mention they have their own riders that can go in the breakaway and extend the lead. The big danger stage to lose a lot of time on is stage 9 since Pogacar might be their only one finishing same time or gaining while the others lose it.

I thought the team gc was made by the final time of their best 3 riders, am I wrong?

It’s the time of the first 3 on each stage.

Following this sport for years also playin PCM, and didnt know this. Thanks ahah

So the yellow headthing is because they are the the first on team gc and not because of Pogacar GC, didnt know that (again), is that a common thing or has always been like this?

I think since 2012.

Per Wiki
“ Between 1952 and 1990, the team classification leaders could be recognized by yellow caps, until helmets became mandatory.[5][6] Since 2006 the best team has worn black on yellow back numbers.[3][6] Beginning in 2012 the best team was awarded the right, but not the obligation, to wear yellow helmets.[7][8]”

So is this Ayuso Almeida podium fantasy settled now? It’s not going to happen. They will finish behind at least 4-5 other riders even if pogi collapsed

You missed the mou era?

Pretty much as Yates is supposed to podium too.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Yates was never bothered, he's saving his best level for La Vuelta apparently, as far as I know none of the bigger riders are going (maybe Rog might though), it will be a great battle.

I saw that era, but I must admit I skipped most of it I know he's in love with Pog, but does he hate Ayuso?

Podium probably not gonna happen, but top 5 not completely out of reach depending on stage 9 etc?

He said Ayuso does not look pogi in the eyes. And some other theatrical musings

 

[cen]

Ayuso might cost Pog the tour with his theatrics..

 

[scribers]

I doubt it. If it gets bad they’ll just pull him and send him to Movistar right away

In the past, Yates has always struggled to perform in the GT's in the same year.

is he performing in this GT? if he embraces the dom role (including pulling the plug after he pulls off, and taking entire days off), the vuelta can be his one good gt for 24

Wow, if that was literal it would be amazingly perceptive on a noob kinda level🍓 🤣
