Former cyclist and former team manager Kelme Rafa Carrasco for MD analyzes the 10th stage of the Tour de France:
1. Great vacation
It was a quiet stage with a great breakaway and the favorites riding together and thinking about the next two very difficult stages. Pogacar had to speed up at the end to avoid losing the yellow jersey. Luisle was about to win over the escapees, he escaped 8 km from the finish line and they overtook him in the 500 meters. It’s embarrassing because he deserves to win on stage at his age for his being combative.
2. Concerns about Covid-19
There was control of the favorites, who barely got tired of themselves. The leader, Tadej Pogacar, and his team, the UAE, have a problem with coronavirus cases. Majka, his main assistant on the mountain, has already let him out, but he is also skeptical. This is a major concern.
3. The Spaniards, in their place
Luisle was too good to handle the win and finish third. Enric Mas was in his place with the favorites, controlling the situation at the end.
4. Start another Tour
This Wednesday will begin another Tour, the Mountain Tour, which along with heat and coronavirus cases will mark the next stages. The leader will need strong companions.
5. Dangerous day
With a 2nd class port (Montvernier), another 1st class (Télégraphe) and two special category ports (Galibier and Granon), Wednesday’s stage could be decisive and dangerous for Pogacar, which could have a difficult time because of the Covid-19 cases in his group.
