@@Djuntasmost people who generate revenue are not long term fans. Cycling has worldwide attention only few times a year. TDF hands down and maybe something like Roubaix, although way less exposure. So someone like Pog doing something otherworldly spectacular at less watched race (which makes for brilliant, clickable and watchable short content on social media - which means more exposure ) is pure gold for cycling. “Uninitiated” people (people who don’t necessarily follow sport or cycling) love listening to great stories and Tadej is providing that in spades here with panache and a (very marketable) smile on his face. Sorry for being so marketing oriented. Not something I enjoy, really.

What was there for team Movistar !!! They pushed the pace and brought back the breakaway riders to Pog door steps . What did they expect, Pog to wait at the summit 😅😅

But now he is spoiling for everyone; fellow riders, fans, media, TV, sponsors etc. A breakway is an integral part of road racing. It serves several critical purposes. And in grand tours, it is imperative to let breakaways be successful whenever there is nothing fight for in the GC contest. That young man winning could have earned him a big contract with a big world tour team. A Nairo win on Sunday could redeem his career. But pogacar doesn't care. He has to crush everyone. Hubris!!
