Those fucking motorcycles!
Unbelievable, but what a stage. Pogacar and Vingegaard are so equally matched.
True grit from Vingegaard getting back to Pogacar and then taking the mountain top sprint. It will only get harder from here, and if he doesn't crack on a stage I think Vingegaard will take this in the end due to better restitution.
Seriously, such bad luck for pogi :( but still a great stage!
On that final ascent during Pog's sprint, was it actually the motorbike wanting to be close or did it have to slow down due to the crowd being in the way? I couldn't tell on TV, either way terrible luck for Pog.
Yeah I would blame the organisers for not ensuring the fans kept put the way.
