    That wasn’t a typical Pogacar finish. Gear issues?

    Amazing stuff.

    And Remco only 23 seconds down too.

    Another day when he didn't eat properly?

    JV has some balls. Never in doubt.

    Napoleon, don't be jealous that I've been chatting online with babes all day. Besides, we both know that I'm training to be a cage fighter.

    Actual and psychological victory there for Jonas. Remco limits his losses to 27" to hold onto second.

    Pog definitely looked tired after that initial attack.

    Vin didn't look scared of the Pog.

    He looked very spinny on the sprint for bonus seconds too.

    All that for 1 second.

    Still, I am glad Pogacar is honouring Cav’s request.

    Thought it was done and dusted when Pog got 30" plus on the descent after he attacked.

    Yeah ....not like real cyclist doing through and off on a winters training ride then sprinting for town signs

    Did UAE make a strategic mistake going for this stage

    Jonas showing some real emotion, he looks wasted though. It's going to be really interesting to see how they both cope in week 3.

    Not sure, it felt like the sort of stage where Pog could do some damage. I think they worked too early though. Pog didn't need the stage win or bonus seconds, just to attack and try to gain some time.

    Vin's tearful in his interview talking about coming back from his crash and winning the stage, emotionally drained.

    Ok was there a issue with pogs rear tire

    Could have lost some when he skidded, he took a few corners wide on the later decent.
