Too much faffing about looking at each other

The chasers don't need to catch Pog. Let him work.

Poor remco

50km on his own? Memories of Floyd Landis.

Oooohhhhh

Does Pog have a new helmet to match his new Colnago?

Impressive confidence to get the bike done before the race

Who risked a DQ by riding on the pavement? Was it Mvdp?

Yes I think so

Yeah but looked like he had nowhere else to go

I don't see how Pog can stay away. If it all comes back together, who's got the best sprint?

Lol

Remco to do a Kopecky.

Who put 50p in Mas?

Perhaps Pog released his training numbers the other day because he had an incroyable ride in mind and didn't want people to question it.

Pretty harsh on the Vuelta all this

LOL at Remco sulking in the corner.

Acoustics on this Breakaway are shite

Eurosport audio mixing is usually pretty suspect. In this case it could be down to Orla's neckline being too low for ideal clip-mic positioning.

It all means nothing without him having attempted to win the Vuelta.

Got to wonder if Sivakov will get the nod ever again for the French national team after this

Voeckler knows how it works. If you find yourself in a two-up with your trade team leader, you're going to work, irrespective of national team loyalties.

Watching different riders in different races take their turn trying to hang on to Pogacar's wheel when he attacks is bit like some 19th century county fair where you can win big if you can last one round boxing an Orangutan.

He’s more beautiful than an orangutan.

Ben Healy on the other hand...
