    I enjoy watching Pogacar immensely. He doesn’t mess around. Sensed weakness and absolutely destroyed Ineos.

    Greatest Grand Tour rider ever in the making?

    Pogacar is going to win the stage, eating into the gap between himself and the leaders.

    3 min head start for Woods up the Colombiere should be enough....wouldn't put it past Pog though

    Gotta love Brailsford's new attacking strategy in these races :) How many strong climbers will have nothing but stages to go for now? Doesn't help Dan if he tries for a stage later in the race.

    In the last five kilometres of the previous climb he took 3mins 55 seconds out of the lead. Insane stuff.

    And he's only 22, all the Tour records are his for the taking if he stays just at this level.

    Pogacar might be so far ahead he might be able to skip the last week for the Olympics and still win the Tour.

    He needs to make up a minute on Van Aert to be in yellow at the end of the stage.

    The Slovenian questions. What might be revealed in the years to come? Reminds me of Paul Kimmage being chastised by a team mate for leaping a railing if you know what I mean.

    The People: " We don't want Ineos domination of the Tour"

    Pogacar excels

    The People: "That's not what we meant"

    Shame on anyone doubting the credibility of this ride... I’m sorry for you. I’m sorry you can’t dream big and I’m sorry you don’t believe in miracles.

    I'm loving Pog. Great entertainment but to me it's pretty normal to wonder about that kind of performance.
