Pogacar referred to a stage where a result was predicted between the sprinters, a prediction that almost didn’t come true.
“The stage has three sections: the first two hours are really easy and nothing happens, then one hour is full speed in every corner, even downhill. “There was a little chaos, and then it was a little stressful, not so much many. . crazy, but you can feel the tension. Then, in the end, it was all about stretching our legs,” he concluded.
