Next year Pogacar will have to race 1/2/3 and get a beer handup during every stage, which he’ll have to chug before he can continue

Seriously! He is looking so incredibly strong. I don't how the rest of the GC teams are going to challenge Pogacar, but we will see.

I looked up wurf and it seems a bit weird Ineos signed a 37 year old triathlete who hasn't had a significant result since 2015

They stuck the new stuff into a petri dish of Wurf's blood and it exploded like in The Thing. Pog doesn't blink.

The only thing I can see stopping him would be some spicy attacks in the mountains when he's isolated because of his theoretically weaker team.

I mean they still have to drop him first so he has to chase. And given the few riders who could are like 2 minutes back already with an even longer tt to come i don't think he has to worry too much.

Is there anyone that can reasonably challenge Pog for the foreseeable future? He is currently a Ganna level time trialist, a Contador level climber and can hold his own to get podiums on sprint stages (I think he came 3rd or 4th in Stage 1) all at 22. Unless a serious injury happens, he's so young that he should be performing at this level for at least a decade.

If I go full cynic, it makes me wonder if big budget teams will start pushing for meaningfully long TTTs to try and ensure their investments pay out.

The tour organizers hate having TTTs have significant GC impact. There's a reason we haven't had a long one in forever.

The people who like them are mostly the bike companies because they like the marketing image of a bunch of TT bikes all riding together.

Ineos and Jumbo need to organize a Porte/Vingegaard attack early in a stage. Then you don't need to drop him, you just overwhelm his team.

This is what they should do, they'll probably just combine trains and tow Pogacar to the final 3km and wonder why he still has the legs to attack.

They should get Froome to attack and convince pog that he really needs to chase him down. It would be over in seconds and do nothing useful, but I would laugh.
