Controversy: did the organization help Pogacar in the Amstel Gold Race?

The final victory of Tadej Pogacarin Amstel Gold Race, has generated some controversy on social media. Not because of the attitude of the Slovenian, superior again to his rivals, but because of an organizational action that goes unnoticed.

A few kilometers from the end of the stage, Pogacar took the lead, a few seconds ahead of his pursuers, a car from the organization passed the Slovenian on the road. This means that, for a few seconds on a narrow road where the car cannot raise a meter, the UAE cyclist has to roll against the back of the car.

Did Pogacar benefit from his slipstream? This is the great doubt that has generated debate on social networks. The organization denied it but, beyond the excellence once again shown by the Slovenian, the debate was tabled.
