Rafael Carrasco: "Pogacar tried it, but I don’t see it in the best conditions"

THE STAGE

A very professional Jumbo team stage and very controllable. Yesterday they gave a demonstration making a stage attack and now they are defending their achievement yesterday in a different way, but very professionally. A team that knows where and how to attack and where to defend, controlling the progress of the stage. Highlight Pidcock’s success, fully deserved, and Chris Froome’s great performance. I am happy for him

THE FAVORITES

Now we all expect Pogacar’s attacks, which he announced himself. He tried, but very close to the finish line, the first 3 km from the finish line and the second 2 km away, but had no strength. I have never seen him in the best condition, the leader responded well and everything remains the same

THE SPANISH

Now Enric Mas is fine. He endured the favorites, he just came, but he was with the favorites of the race. Therefore, he was in his place, others came as far as they could, the stage was very difficult and yesterday’s effort accused him.

CAREER SITUATION

The race was like yesterday, controlled by the Jumbo team and its leader, and worked very well. I find it hard to have any problems or failures. They are doing very well and they are very good, and they continue to control the race as they have to this day.

FRIDAY PERIOD

The Alps are over, but the Massif Central is beginning. It was a day of ups and downs, breaking legs. There will be exit breaks, Jumbo is interested in people who are not in a good position to leave so as not to have a problem, and the well -classified ones are well monitored. Option for stage hunters. In two ports of the third and one of the second, a day where sprinters will have a hard time keeping up with the leaders
