I can understand why Roglic is out of it but how is Carapaz doing so bad? Not properly prepared because he wasn't supposed to be the leader maybe?

Yes. Carapaz could keep pace for about one minute. Then Pog went REALLY :fuckoff: He might actually win this

Carapaz isn't bad. Hes posted his power on every stage so far and hes putting out good numbers. Pogacar is just, well, Pogacar.

Yeah, the way he's descending this insanely sketchy descent, he definitely wants to win the stage lmao

I'm not convinced that Woods has it, but I'm starting to think the Colombière isn't long enough for Pogacar to make it all the way

I think Pog has settled for putting in at least a minute on everyone. He'll just do it again tomorrow. I don't think he wants yellow yet too.
