Yes, but Pog is a bit of an unknown since he’s coming back from an injury and maybe hasn’t trained enough. UAE brought Yates in as co-captain. So a bit of uncertainty on UAE.
Yates said in the interview after the race that Pogacar was king. I guess that means he’s going to support Pog instead of ride for his own classification from now on.
I think for now the best thing he can do for pog’s race is to be a legit GC threat. That he and the team are contradicting each other is really interesting. They’re either surprisingly strategically naive or playing a canny game. My money’s on the latter.
I think they are all playing a game. Pogi complaining about his hand at the start and then finishing third two days in a row is an example of that too. Or how he sprinted away from Jonas for bonus seconds.
I think they as a team are like cats playing with mice this tour and I love it!

Ooo interesting! Thanks for the insight, didn’t know Yates was brought in. It’ll be fun to see how that plays out
Played out pretty well so far
