    One saving grace for this race is that Pogacar is not going to go down without a fight. If, big if I know, he can stay within reasonable distance on GC into the final week he's going to go all in rather than ride for a podium place. Another big if, but if Vingegaard and Vine are close on GC having to fight each other and react to Pogacar could be entertaining.

    I'd be extremely surprised if Vine is close to Vingegaard on GC.
    So would I, given Vine isn't riding the Tour

    Pog's group should be pulling time back but they aren't.

    Group probably expects Yates to work exclusively and 1 on 1 Yates against Vingegaard doesn't get you anywhere.
    Fantastic job by Vingegaard, surprisingly weak by Pogacar today, considering the (meager) length of the climb.
    There were quite a few going through. Gaudu was certainly taking his turns.
