some great downhill there from Pog >90kmph so 35 sec in the end, a nice lead for him

Add the bonus seconds for the Galibier and the win and he must be 50 seconds clear. What a show of force from UAE, absolutely swatted Visma aside today. LOL, they were never that hardcore when Dan Martin was their GC leader
Early days, but Visma need to get going

Brilliant stage today - per TG4 "Sin mar a bhí ag teastáil uainn – aicsean!"

JV admitted a few weeks ago that he's still afraid of crashing. Talk about giving the play book to Pog...

To be fair you couldn't blame him for a small bit of apprehension.

I didn't see the descent, but by all accounts it was very tricky?

Oh, I don't blame him at all. I just wouldn't tell the world that's all.

G'wan Cav - agree that he's no Eddy Mercx but his longevity and time at the top are incredible - he never gave up and beat the lads fair and square on that run-in - didn't really even have a lead out.
