Today we experienced a total training phase for the runners, where the control that the sprinter teams had over those who escaped in the last 30 kilometers, I would say, reached a small kilometer, always in front of them . they were even worse without being caught, until the sprint was held and Tim Merlier won.
It has become one of the so-called absolute stages of transition, especially for Leader of Pogacartheir team, and for the best-classified cyclists overall.
They started to rain and the sun and rain alternated throughout the stage, especially the first part, which is always complicated for the peloton and favors the formation of a breakaway, which I will define as ‘getaway’, where of the four runners. there are two from the same team, Polti-Comet.
Then, the sprinters’ teams controlled the peloton and, in the process, set the stage for the sprinters’ team. pogacar, which was carried throughout the day.
We hope that this Friday’s stage, with three mountain passes and a high finish, will see a more contested stage, especially between the second place, the Colombian. Daniel Felipe Martínezand the third, the Welsh Geraint Thomas. Let’s see which of the two attacks. I bet Colombian. Some of the runners behind them may have tried to attack the podium, but I see it as more complicated.
And the question is, what will the leader do? We do not know, it is unknown. We don’t know if he will win or not. Not that he could, beyond any doubt, but he wanted to.
