That was galling, Cavendish's gear stuck right at the worst moment otherwise he would have won that .
Snap! The sceneryâs nice, too.One of those events that I enjoy watching, despite having absolutely no idea what's going on. A bit like some of the more obscure winter Olympic sports.
Incredible by Vingergaard. Almost too incredible imo although I hope not.
Just blew everyone away.
Very reminiscent of Pogacar on Stage 20 in 2020. I'd say he had a taste of his own medicine...Incredible by Vingergaard. Almost too incredible imo although I hope not.

Pog is an outstanding TT rider though. His time yesterday was in keeping with being better than others as in 2020. For him to almost be caught with the numbers JV did Iâm not sure all is as it should be.Very reminiscent of Pogacar on Stage 20 in 2020. I'd say he had a taste of his own medicine...

Safer to assume theyâre all doping, if youâre not cheating youâre not trying (adage for most sports). Bit like the old Sky days, so many Asthmatics.
The bike change was misguided. I think Pog definitely lost some time doing that despite it being done very smoothly. The climb wasn't that steep so the aero benefits of the TT bike would have still come into play.Exactly this. I think Pog was happy before yesterday being just 10 seconds behind Vingergaard because he knew he'd be strong favourite to turn that over. And Pogacar didn't really have a bad day at the office because he was just over a minute faster than Van Aert in third ... which was to be expected (and only 30 seconds covered Van Aert in third through to Gaudu in tenth yesterday). But even if Pogacar could claim to have had a disappointing ride by his standards yesterday, to have JV smash his time by a minute and a half - over two and a half minutes faster than Van Aert in third ... well, as you said, incredible ...
