Tadej Pogacar: “It’s Been a Tiring Tour”

“Today’s was yet another fast stage. It was a bit boring at the beginning, but it got more fun towards the end. It was a hard and fast final, so I gave it a go, doing my best. One more day.

My puncture? Thank you to my team for its hard work. Even if we were only four to pull, after my puncture, I was back in the peloton in no time. The ITT tomorrow? It’s been a tiring Tour, and tomorrow is a tough ITT. I don’t know what I will be capable of doing, but one thing I know is I’ll give it all. I rode the course twice as a recon. It’s tough, with rough, slow asphalt. It will still be fast anyway, with two little climbs in the end. It will be long and hard. I don’t see any big surprise happening, but you never know.”
