They worked well for me. ” Giuseppe Saronni, advisor to the UAE, his team, excluded Fabio Aru from that gratitude, who left: “He has no character and if he was not in shape, he should not have attended the Tour”.
Despite running out of Aru, Pogacar (44 “behind Primoz Roglic) he only sees the future with optimism:“ I wanted to get as much time as possible to cut the general classification. In the last 100 meters I thought about the ten bonus seconds for the winner, so I squeezed myself into the sprint and won ”. At first, he said that the 1:21 of the fans did not matter to him, but this time he acknowledged that they hinder him in his podium ambitions: “I made a mistake that I now pay for, since I would be on par or ahead of Roglic. I am happy for his leadership, he is an example for the youth of our country “.
