- Boring? Expected? Just if you focus on the winner… but was Widars second place expected? Great race for the podium… if Pogi didn’t, go early we wouldn’t have this fight…
- Primoz is the only other rider, aside from Jonas, to have beaten Tadej in a grand tour, and it is no surprise that we find him sitting 2nd on GC this early. He is a 4-time Vuelta winner, and if there is anyone who can pull a surprise here, I believe it is him. That is admittedly farfetched though, considering Tadej's current form, and his own penchant for losing control of the bike on difficult terrain.
- I remember one of the favorites saying in an interview, that if he sees Tadej begin to attack, he would not even bother to follow. Maybe that is the prevailing mindset in the peloton, the reason why Tadej is able to get away 50km from the finish. This only happens in 1-day races, not in a grand tour.
- Makes me wonder if his dominance/expected dominance is having a snowballing effect - since riders who would otherwise be contention for a win are likely to want to avoid riding GTs at the same time as him, making the competition he faces weaker, making his dominance even more overwhelming.
- Not all of us live with a Pogi shrine and worship it 24/7 !
- As an Aussie, I'm secretly hoping Pogi is so far ahead in GC that he decides to help his teammate Jay Vine get onto the podium like he did for Del Toro at the TdF!
Anyway, isn't it crazy that Pogi is already dominating so hard this early in this GT that we are talking about the others who will join him. Leader's jersey from day one!
- Fair enough!
- Exploring Andalucía and the regions that they'll race in... unfortunately before they come
- OK, I've read all your explanations and I accept them... don't necessarily agree with all of them, but accept them. But I still love Pogi... yeah baby!!!
- Should be an interesting battle... Onley is on paper the stronger climber but Widar is faster and bonus seconds can be very important
