Pogacar was appeared to have the best W/kg in the race
I missed a couple of stages but certainly in the mountains I thought Roglic looked strongest. He seemed to be sometimes able to leave gaps to Pogacar on the harder sections. For instance on stage 17 which Lopez won (the one where
RossKuss dropped back).

That was the stage he finished looking almost as rough as yesterday; he was huffing and puffing and pale as crossing the line

Pogacar beat Roglic on 2 stages, and lost just 15 seconds (+2 seconds) on that stage.
If he hadn’t lost the time in the crosswinds, the racing would have been different, but it was the only really meaningful time loss that Pogacar lost, which may not have been lost if he had a better team/luck.

Actually what I find even more amazing than that, as Pogacar was appeared to have the best W/kg in the race, was Wout Van Aert being 3rd fastest up the climb?!
