I don’t think Pogacar have a damn about them sitting on. He knew he’d win the stage.
Having Uran protecting a podium place doesn’t do him any favours because EF haven’t got the team to do many favours today.
Ho hum. This week has been so predictable. At least we’ve had the KOM and green jersey contests to add some intrigue but that doesn’t feel like a great payoff in the third week of a grand tour.

If Pog and Vinegar didn’t want Carapaz sat on the back of their group they should have either dropped him or sat up. Sandbagging on the back of a group is an accepted tactic in cycling and if the other members of the group were pissed off then it shows Carapace* had the right idea. It’s a race not some ad hoc TTT to steal the Strava KOM.
