Only watch the highlights now, VDP had to work hard to keep the yellow. Have not seen him spent like that before.

The Pog bearly breaking a sweat.

I guess one can say that MVDP worked a little harder in the first 4 stages, resulting in being a little more tired than Poc today.

Remarkable effort from the charismatic Mathieu. He’s never completed a time trial, never mind wearing the Golden Fleece, had last minute TT set up done (in sneakers and skinsuit) and still retained the top spot. 

Advantage Pogačar - geez, he made it all seem so easy and never lost his shape, albeit it being a relatively short course. A dominant display against the clock.

A mate read an article (trying to find the link) where MvDP wanted a specific wheelset for today and the guy who delivered it had to drive over 900kms to deliver them!! 

Pffft amateur, Motoman drove further for a Coke can of PO

So lets gets this straight. MVDP goes on an online shopping spree on Tuesday. Buys Princeton Carbon Works wheels from an Ineos rider and a set of aerobars from Wattshop..

Gets a Skinsuit custom made on Tuesday Night while having a bikeset up done in tekkies..

Then finishes 5th in the TT and keeps Yellow.

 

What happens when he stops riding road as a hobbie and takes it seriously?

Anything can happen. 

One day of Crosswinds and Pog can lose minutes. 

I think we are still in for a stormer! 

It’s possible, but I don’t think it’s probable. 
Time will tell.

MVDP does not have to save matches for week 2 and 3, his job is done, yellow for a few days, then off to Japan. 

Flight delayed... Damn what a ride.

JA 2019... Let's see how long he can and wants to retain yellow. The next two days are possible, the one thereafter is going to be his real test.
