Pog is clearly going to outsprint Vingegaard isn't he, so what's the point.Pross said:
Risk / reward not really falling right though. Higher chance of Wout winning the sprint from a group that size that Jonas staying away with Pog and beating him in a sprint with the extra matches burnt.Dorset_Boy said:
Whilst that is true, Jonas had the chance to fight for the stage win.Pross said:Dorset_Boy said:What is it about Jumbo leaders being wheelsuckers who won't work?
Wout just behind for stage win.
Wout won't hold back for Jonas if roles reversed.
But it's not just been today.
Vingegaard needs to attack on terrain that suits him, not terrain that suits his opponent. Anyone suggesting he should do otherwise is being silly.2 -

It’s clear Jonas won’t do any work this tour and just stare at Pogacar his as-s all the time.blazing_saddles said:Vingegaard not prepared to do a tap for WVA.

Despite an unpromising set up that finish somehow provided the most amusing result possible. Glorious stuff.1

WvA is a professional, it's not Vingers fault that he didn't win today.1 -

You get the feeling that if Vingers finished the tour 10th and Pog finished 11th he'd consider it job done.
Is there a Carlos Sastre in the peloton?================================
