Today was telling, with Woods & others not having the form. Usually in a 3week tour a rider has time to come into form, but in this case it will leave those riders minutes behind after only two stages.
I can only see the GC riders waiting for the last climb tomorrow, especially if UAE dictate the speed of the day.
It all points down to a mountain showdown finish, yet I can see Pogocar attacking & going alone to the line. Two riders pipped him to the line today, but they hung on for dear life to do so.
Pogacar will know that & make it harder for others to follow tomorrow.
Narvaez vs Pogačar , very funny !
