Along with Pogacar there's a few riders in a super league of talent - Vingegaard, Roglic, Evenepoel, van Aert, van de Poel, Pidcock at his very, very best. Only Pidcock was there today. Pogarcar's ride was undoubtably brilliant but once he got away he didn't keep speeding up, the others slowed down and didn't work together, inevitably. Would it have worked if any of the other super-talents had been there? It wasn't a weak field but Pogcar has so few genuine rivals that it looked even more stunning than it was.
Also, Nathan van Hooydonk was excellent on the commentary today. They really need people who have ridden at that level very recently.
