Pog often races too aggressively (it can be to his detriment) but I think 1) he enjoys it and 2) he understands the entertainment aspect of spectator sports. Vingegaard doesn't understand #2. Either that or he puts a very low priority on it.

Honestly i do not understand this way of thinking. The dynamic between the two is that Pog is better week 1 & 2 so he has to attack to get ahead and JV needs to try to stay close and then win it back. For me it is very exciting to try to guess when the lead is enough or if JV can come back

Pogi , in my humble opinion , made a bad jugment for this stage or maybe he wasn't his decision . He could have race with Remco and vingegaard till the and after they catch the brakeaway . Why ? Be cause : or they could've drop vingegaard or they could have do a battle at the end of the race and the winner would have been one of two Tadej or Remco because they have a good sprint better than the danish rider . And there is something else to add , they could have put a really nasty gap on Roglic . I think Roglic is the nemesis for Remco .😄 Well , I think this is a lesson to think about it .

It doesn't matter that Pogacar won so many powerfull races and Giro this year till now , it doesn't matter that Yates , Almeida and Ayuso are such good and powerfull riders ! It doesn't matter their results !?! All that counts is that , somehow , by pure visma miracles their riders are such astonishing riders with no match in peleton !?! Is UAE so weak and disorganized ?
