Was not expecting to wake up to that this morning. Pog has really cracked. I wonder if this is what his GTs will look like now or if his prep affected him significantly. His numbers have been huge this year, is Jonas just that one level above?
Jonas is an absolute weapon. Other social media sites are understandably asking questions regarding legitimacy, but I think he's fair dinkum. Disappointing end to the GC comp, hopefully we get a fight to the end next year.
I’m not disappointed. It wasn’t over even after yesterday, and a tour decided on the Queen stage is fine by me
Yeah fair enough. Disappointment is subjective, so we're all going to have different takeaways.
The disappointment for me was because the race was lost today. Pog cracked so hard his other rivals gained significant time on him while Vinge extended to an insurmountable lead. If Vinge attacked and Pog couldn't follow, it would have been one thing, but it's always disappointing seeing someone crack so hard they go backwards.
I don't particularly fanboy over anyone, so for me it takes a bit of the excitement away when someone dominates, as it detracts from the racing.
