Tadeg did comment that the stage wasn't as hard as the previous stage since once the break formed it was cruise mode to the last climb. So not a 'wearing' stage in that sense where the Alp stages will be with multiple big climbs which will probably be Remco's kryptonite

ton of people on this site trash lance any chance they get and now we see that those same people that trash lance are against doping controls that comply with the rules

I'd say as hid last race it is unlikely but imminent retirement is quite possible

I didn't like the last climb. Pog has now gifted 2 stages he could easily have won. Ok, he really likes IDT but this is the Tour. He's just playing around, amazing to see someone so dominant. Don't think I'll see another one like him before I check out.

If you put together several interviews, the clues are there to suggest it. He's spoken about quitting professional cycling over the winter (yes, he said he was enjoying it again after a change in program). He's spoken about "completing" cycling after winning the Giro and not being sure what else he has to do/prove. I think several stages of this Tour made him realize defeating Tadej is unlikely. That near-death crash a few years ago is still there... a bad crash is bound to bring up some memories. Jonas has said time and time again that his family is #1 and how much he dislikes being away from them for cycling/training. He's also been doubling down on his post-cycling career with a rather substancial real estate portfolio in Denmark. Sure, he has a contract and a good salary to go with it - but that's more time away from his family while he could easily live comfortably if he retired tomorrow. I hope I'm wrong; I'd love to see him chase more races .. just saying it's a possibility.

You're probably the only one. There was no way that Pogačar would have intentionally passed up a chance to win. He looked easy because he couldn't really sprint after the work he'd done.

except pogacar was being drug tested according to the rules, not harassed by Australian teenie boppers

The title portrays it as though he sacrificed his own safety for Pogačar. In reality, had he hit Pogačar, they'd both have crashed, so for Torito to crash on his own was the obvious decision to make.
