Sant Joan de les Abadesses > Port Ainé 177km

Shall I celebrate brilliance or complain about boring racing? Pogačar is magnificent, but dominance like this makes watching cycling a tough shift. He is magnificent, and without Vingegaard, Roglič or Evenepoel to challenge, this race isn’t going to be much of a watch. Hopefully, UAE are in a mind to let the break take a few stages, starting now. This stage has almost 4000m of climbing, it’s a tough day in the saddle, especially after today’s bad weather.
