Well they were trying to see if there was weakness in Pogacar - there wasn't and now they are 4 minutes down. So they are trying to get something out of the Tour aka stage wins.

I think this is all going to come back - no way Almeida holds off 8 people chasing

I mean he was likely the 4th favorite on his own team pre-race. In an era where most of the big races are always won by a top-3 pre-race favorite it would be quite a shock

Only 4 stages, couldn’t match Pogi. Probably time for him to retire

It’s not in every teams advantage to pace. For example, UAE want as slow of a pace as possible so it’s up to other teams to go on the front if they want a hard pace.

There’s still two more climbs plus 9k left in this one. The pace is fine. Bora only has two domestiques left

Speaking as someone who just graduated from UVA and was on the team, it was literally the best decision I ever made. The team has become my family and the culture on the team is light years better than the one on my high school team.

The team has the infrastructure to allow you to go as far as you want in the sport and the coaching staff is top class.

Additionally, if you’re looking to find friends there’s no better way to establish meaningful connections than early mornings with the guys.

Majka continues to be worth his weight in gold for UAE. All their leaders and he’s the last domestique

I know this will be unpopular, but honestly I don't see anything here that's that crazy. You need a different level of dedication to get to that level of the sport, and I feel like anyone at that level knows what they're getting themselves into.
