Hmm, If Pogacar was good enough, McNulty wouldn't have finished within touching distance. They barely made any gains on Thomas on the final climb.

Vingegaard looked the strongest to me. He gets teamorders to just follow.

Were we watching the same race.
McNulty towed the two leaders up and over the last 2 climbs. Thomas lost 2 mins on the last 5km,other GC candidates even more.

For a guy that was 20 minutes behind Pogacar on the Granon stage, it's quite a recovery. I expect Hirschi to be leading them up Hautucam tomorrow having supped some of the same holy water of recovery.

Thomas started the final climb 1'15 behind McNulty. Finally, he lost 2' on Pogacar and 1'30 on McNulty.

McNulty was good, but if Pogacar wants to win the tour he has to drop him 4k from the top and go at it alone.

But isn't McNulty a team domestique? He sits in front for as long as he can or as long as Podge wants him there.

It is strange.
I wonder if Pogacar will destroy everybody again like in the final TT of the 2020 TdF.

That's the most suspect performance since Floyd Landis to me. Leaving not only Roglic but also Van Aert and Tom Dumoulin more than 1'20 behind.... That's the international cream of the TT crop...

Maybe I'm getting too cynical.

It does smell fishy, having a great day is one thing, but everyone else having the same poor day looks rather odd.
 

With Virenque, the French were not amused...
