‘I have haters’: Pogacar brushes off boos | Email Luke

Yesterday’s stage 10 was the race in microcosm. There was a bit of fun and games at the front: Ben O’Connor, Javier Romo, Harold Tejada and most notably Richard Carapaz were among those to attack. But UAE Team Emirates-XRG and Tadej Pogacar were never less than firmly in control, and the relentless Slovenian applied the coup de grâce in typically businesslike fashion.

Davide Piganzoli’s pace-setting for Jonas Vingegaard and Visma-Lease A Bike on the Col de Pertus was little more than cosplaying at being a team that can realistically challenge the overwhelming strength of UAE and Pogacar. Even the reaction of the fans at the roadside was a neat summary: most cheered the 27-year-old Pogacar on to more glory, while a minority booed to express their dissatisfaction at his ongoing and seemingly endless dominance.
