What I liked yesterday was the fact that UAE and Pog started driving it in the run in to the steep finale and Pog attacked.
Pog would be quite within his rights just riding a bit more defensively and daring the others to have a go. I think he's just a big kid who loves winning races.
Heartbreaking for Kämna though

Which makes me wonder if he won't try to win stages like today too. Maybe his team would rather have a rest though.
He's only 23 and will probably have 10 TdF stage wins by the end of this...
Merkcx and Cav beware!!!!

Great stage yesterday and looking at it again the ride of the day has to be Roglic...who was really suffering and still came in third ! I'm hoping he can ride himself into fitness for the coming weeks.
I think stage 6 the day before was a harder won stage.Mad pace,in fact reading the data it was completed in one of the fastest times over a comparable distance in the race's history, coming in around 40 minutes ahead of the fastest predicted time.
After all that to beat Matthews a pretty good puncheur and sprinter who'd been set up to perfection by his team was class by Pogacar.
The long mountain stages is where the others can try and put pressure in him maybe ? ...I think 🙄

Thomas is chuckling to himself. "The old last man standing ploy, it worked for me at the the Tour de Suisse"

You sure it wasn't Jumbo passing them bottles 🙄
Hirschi seems well of form aswell....never really got into it yet,well what you usually expect of him.
On very thin (that is to say, none!) evidence...
my nephew who is a general manager of a top team in Australia has strong doubts about Hirschi sudden rise.
Sorry, @Dogtrousers , I'm off to the Clinic...

He’s 21 now, over the next few years he should develop and peak in mid/late twenties. Imagine how good he will be then. 😮
