An interesting finish with Narvaez and Schacmann coming over Pog in the sprint. I do feel that Pog went to long after that bif effort on the last half of the climb and he had burnt to many matches.

Glad to see an exciting finish. Tadej is going to clean up big time of course, but today's effort didn't really pay off.

You may not be able to win in the first week of a grand tour, but you can certainly put all your rivals on the defensive

He's got a great start so far !

If you want too understand why Pog is so good, just study his pedalling action and watch his upper body movement and you will have some idea of why he is so good.

Really enjoying Gracie Elvin on the commentary team. She is good.
Dave McKenzie is a nice fella. He did a club ride with us when I lived in Mildura. Bloody freezing morning for the poor basvtard but he still fronted.

Have missed the last couple of nights coverage, but will catch up on the highlights soon.

Exactly. Upper body and arms perfectly relaxed and still ...hips stable, nothing moving or rocking ....just the legs going up and down at a nice cadence.
I saw an online cycling blogger calling Pog a "toe pedaller" as if it was a bad thing. Wouldnt know an efficient pedaller if he saw one.
