On the other end of the wire,
Thijs Zonneveld calls Pogacar 'a bit arrogant' in his column in the AD, about the fact that he actually wanted to give away stage 20. In the end, Zonneveld believes it was for everyone's good that Pogacar took the stage. Gifting a stage to Vingegeaard would've been "arrogant and humiliating" according to the journalist.
He further explains: "Giving your biggest competitor a stage as if you don't give a damn: ugly. As if you let your 5-year-old nephew win a game of Stratego because otherwise he'll start crying again. Giving a stage to someone with whom you've been fighting a life-and-death battle for every second for four years, that's a turd wrapped in gift paper. But criticizing a multiple winner because he wins a lot, that hits like a tuna on a drum kit."
