  The case that Isaac del Toro doesn't respond well to rest days just got more evidence. He had a very bad ITT after the first rest day of the Giro last year, losing 1:23 to the best of the GC riders, Derek Gee-West. He cracked on stage 16 and has again cracked here. We should expect him to lose plenty of time on stage 16, the hilly ITT.

  Surprised to see remco pass JV at the end - JV did not look too good towards the end, though the day after rest days is often a bit wonky. Barring incident Pog will run away with this one - watch out Cav! Your record may fall

  You’re worried about getting banned, again??? Good to know it’s possible to coax you into self-censorship. I have news for you, there are quite a few Roglo or Lance fans happy to boo him just like Wout « fans » will boo MVDP and Schleck fans will boo Contador.

  He gets dropped all the time but is now 3rd, that’s not too complementary for those who don’t get dropped

  And how do you know that it was only the French spectators boo-ing? Are you able to identify them just by looking at them?

  But he caught him didn’t he ?

  Remco doesn’t even seem to be the top rider on his own squad. He’ll probably lose his composure again, and if I were Red Bull, I’d let him go after that and put the money into strong support riders for Lipo (I admit that this point of view obviously ignores remco's strength in the classics). Both of them often end up riding on their own, with no teammates around them, while Pogacar always has riders like Politt, McNulty, Del Toro, Yates, and others backing him up. That kind of support is something Lipowitz can only wish for.

  Interview with Tadej Pogačar by a Slovenian TV reporter after the stage: Reporter: Did everything go according to plan? It looked like you were riding for the stage win from the start. Tadej Pogačar: To be honest, the plan was a bit different. We wanted to set a really hard pace all the way to the final climb and then try something with Isaac. But in the end, the stage was so tough and the heat was so intense that things unfolded differently. We rode the penultimate climb at a really high pace, and you could see everyone's legs were already cooked. I attacked, saw that I had a gap, and decided to commit all the way to the finish. I thought, if I blow up, I blow up; if not, it'll pay off. Fortunately, it worked out. Reporter: When you bridged across to Carapaz and then found yourself alone, did you believe you could stay away? Tadej Pogačar: Yes, I did. I knew there was a tailwind on the final climb, which suited me perfectly.

  Remco is showing what I said he may before the race started. IF he has dialed in training and altitude, he could finish top 3 (4th to 5th at worst). As for Jonas he never regained his look of how he rode pre crash. I said before the race he may have to really fight to stand on the podium. It is starting to look like that no question. Lipowitz, Sexis and (shocking) Remco have been as good at times on climbs thus far. And I won't count out IDT unless he cracks very badly in the next week or so. Might be the year of the new podium positions, except Pogi who seems to have won already if he has no illness or fall. Curious, anyone else seeing the look on Jonas face? Kind of reminds me of when Lance was winning everything. Everyone else just had a look that said "Why bother to go after him? I can't beat him...better conserve energy for the 2nd and 3rd (at best) places. Seeing I can't win" I saw that look the other day. Pogi took off and Jonas didn't try to do much. I saw a few hard cranks and then he looked up and didn't seem to try. His face didn't look confident but rather defeated.

  I think Valgren was spot on. Jonas struggling now. Pogi is getting a lot of stick for making it look like an unfair advantage he has.
