Ok who else had the feeling it was Pog who was bluffing? With his little teaser attacks. The whole time I had the feeling he did like 90% and could have put minutes into the other guys if he wanted to.

Itās fascinating to me to have to sit through a dozen or so edicts about properly pronouncing rider names as though itās some lost art written by the same clowns who happily call pogachar āPogā all day long. His name is pogachar, and itās no harder to type out than carapaz or Kelderman or vingegaard. Whatās that some of you were saying about being lazy?
Pog is an endearment.
Actually itās PogaÄar. Which most definitely is harder to spell out

Yeah, I said the same thing aboveā¦.he did a few accelerations, got their measure and only did what he had to do. Never fully dropped the hammer because he didnāt need to.
Coolā¦.more ad hominem attacks. Now, letās break the fallacies in your statement.
- we arenāt professional broadcasters, journalists or commentators
- āPogā is a nickname, not a mispronunciation.
So, not even close to being comparable. But thanks for the playing. Sorry your āgotchaā moment fizzled out.

depends on the stage, they donāt want to risk a slow wheel change on an important day like today was
Who thinks that Pog needs a better victory salute?
He keeps pointing to the jersey. Is he pointing to the yellow jersey in general or is he pointing to the UAE on the jersey?
They were all trying to deceive each other, thatās what made it great. Who was going to go when, who had how much left, and so on. I loved the commentators who were so sure Carapaz was clinging on for dear life too, being proved wrong.

Is it correct, that Pogacar winning mountains and yellow again this year, would make him only the second rider to do the double twice?
The other rider being Eddy, who also did it back to back?
Should really go after green next year, to at least have a challenge on hand.
I think that is correct. But not sure how comparable it is. There were many changes to the Peas-jersey over the years. Most notably only since 2004 you get double points if the KOM is also the finish line. If there were no double points, Pog would not win this year. Not sure about last year
(Presuming he will win again today. If Poels gets the first mountain and Pog only gets second on the stage. Poels will have the jersey.)
Per our conversation re: learning how to pronounce names, Stan Verrett brought his A-game to Twitter yesterday.
