Earlier this week, Vingegaard was better in Central Massif for the first time, now the ball seems to be back on Pogacar's end. "The difference is very small, so if you want to make a difference, it's in the details," the journalist continued.
According to Niki Terpstra, the fact that Vingegaard and the whole Visma | Lease a Bike has to do without luxury domestique
Sepp Kuss is such an important detail. He believes the team is not the same without the Vuelta winner. "The entire Visma team is not as great as the past two years. Back then, the team was so strong that they could completely squeeze Pogacar out of it and then that little diesel from Vingegaard came to the fore. Now it's not so dominant. Look at that attack by Adam Yates: with a good Kuss they would have ridden so hard that Yates could never have been a springboard for Pogacar. Those are all small things that play a role, although the strongest man won."
