Pogacar goes solo. The rest of favourites are losing it. Remco's "action" symbolizes it. The last moment for them to try to catch Pog!

Idk, Sivakov only chance to get a medal was Pogacar waiting for him on all climbs and Pogacar would only ever do that if Sivakov helps him on the flat. I honestly think he was riding reasonably but got unlucky the gaps behind didn't become big enough for Pogacar to ride with him any longer

Just stop with this. It was not a given and the fact that he is now much more likely to pull it off, doesn't make it so either.

If Remco had managed to attack at a place where nobody would have been able to follow, he would have had a chance to close him.
That's a lot of words to say "you were right," but I'll take the admission.

He was clearly told he could pull, started after they went by the pits.
He has teammates behind and just got immediately dropped as soon as it went up with 50k to go, after helping the massive race favourite and pulling through for the last hour. Wherever the order came from, he wasn't maximizing anything but Pogacar's chances of winning.
