TT up the mountain day.
Top ten going though, and Pogacar using a road bike if an aero bike is faster than the folks using TT bikes on the initial flat section which must be just demoralising considering the advantages that the TT bike should give!
Let alone the ability to climb in a TT bike folks like Roglic/Vindegaard which David Millar ex TDF rider TT guy and ITV presenter, is noting!
Shows the difference that experience and technique in terms of folks riding the TT bikes, which was only a handful of the top 10.
This said didn?t stop Pog from taking 36s off Vingegaard, who caught his 2 minute man just before the line!
Sometimes being once in generation rider is the thing!

That was a truly stellar performance
i think that there is the question of if Jonas Vindegaar is going to return to his former self after that terrible accident. The Visma team has not been riding the same at all. Fepp Huss Mateo Jorgenson and Wout van Aert have all been riding well below
their previous marks. I think that the team did not train together as in previous years.
