"It's like hunting, you have to wait until he creates an opening" - Cyrille Guimard suggests patience to Tadej Pogacar's opponents

With 107th Giro d'Italia just around the corner and the cards already dealt, Cyclism'Actu's Cyrille Guimard tries to read who holds the strongest trump cards in the hunt for seemingly invincible and omnipotent Tadej Pogacar.

"Based on what we have seen since the start of the season and taking into account the opposition, he can hardly be beaten. He has no opponents at his level in this Giro because those who could have been are not present," Guimard raises a question about the competitiveness of Pogacar's challengers.

"How to beat him, or at least shake him up? It's like hunting. You have to wait until he finds himself in a slightly delicate situation to trigger. You should never trigger before. Otherwise you risk burning your wings. Either there is the opening or there is not the opening, because when you attack this type of rider, you must not miss him."

"So contrary to what everyone thinks, it's a waiting race, you have to be in a lookout position. You should definitely not arm wrestle with someone whose arm is twice as strong as you," he concludes.
