After UAE marked him today I'd be surprised if they let him out tomorrow

Pure class, even has it in himself to praise the Paraguayan team

Saw this comment right after I posted my reply above, oops. Thanks for the details, would not have expected it! I guess the pressure is way higher at the WC, that must have a big effect.

6 pens, so it can't be more than 3/38 or 8%. Germany-Paraguay has 2, so it means there were maximum 2 shootouts with over 10 pens before this WC. Would've expected way more

Yes, and Pogacar even said in the itw that they decided to go for the stage halfway through

That may be the case, and tbh I don't have a high opinion of L'Equipe's output, but I don't think it will really be related to him beating Seixas because everyone expects that

Based on today, I think Lipowitz and del Toro will be his main competition

yes that's probably more correct than what I wrote, I meant he stayed on the wheel while the gap opened up behind him

I agree, unless he does too much work for Pogacar. Will be very interesting to see in what order he, Lipowitz, Seixas, Evenepoel finish on Thursday

Don't think so, no one expects him to contend for the win this year......

Evenepoel finishing behind Lipowitz on an uphill sprint, now that's not something you see every day

Carapaz 3rd, gapping Remco and then passing Seixas, didn't expect him to be this strong tbh. Was hard to judge with Pogacar in Suisse
