    Jonas jumps to WvA is a danger here

    Lol WvA sees a finish line and sprints. Don't think he can help himself!

    Jesus, a save from Vingegaard and Pogacar opens a slight hole

    Jonas can take his time. In fact, waiting on Pog 👌

    Why race downhill if you’re gonna wait if your rival crashes

    Smart move from Jonas. Yes, he could have tried to expand the gap, but he's effectively neutralised the race between them on the descent

    You raise a valid point

    I think I’d end up being airlifted to the local hospital if I tried to descend down this mountain like these guys.

    Pure class from both

    If Pog and Jon are still alive and together after dramas for each of them earlier on that descent, will Pog try a sustained higher power up Hautacam, rather than these sprint attacks where Jon gets back on his wheel?
