News & Racing<\/a><\/p>\n Plus: dangerous feed zones and two guys at UAE who really don’t like each other and will co-lead the team at the Vuelta a Espa\u00f1a.<\/p>\n Hello, everyone. Welcome back to The Secret Pro column. It\u2019s been a few weeks since the Tour de France and I\u2019ve had time to digest what was a pretty eventful race with lots of intrigue.<\/p>\n The first thing to say is that, yeah, Tadej Poga\u010dar really was pretty pissed off throughout the race \u2013 it wasn\u2019t just an act. I talked about his attitude a bit in my last column, and how he’s not as well liked in the bunch as people might think, but I’ve never really seen him like he was at the Tour this year. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n The Secret Pro: Poga\u010dar\u2019s air of arrogance<\/p>\n The peloton\u2019s feelings on Tadej Poga\u010dar, an altitude camp downhill race, and why no one wants to follow Primo\u017e Rogli\u010d on a descent.<\/p>\n I think he was annoyed generally with how the Tour was going, and with Visma\u2019s tactics especially. All those attacks early on, making his days stressful. He knew early on he was going to win and he wanted to get it over and done with, he wasn\u2019t having fun anymore and I can imagine he just wanted to go home. He was physically able to win more stages, but in the final week he was just so mentally knackered.\u00a0This is a hard sport and being Pogi would be even harder after a couple years I think.<\/p>\n Primo\u017e Rogli\u010d was interesting for another reason. He made headlines with his \u201cI don\u2019t give a fuck<\/a>\u201d quote, and he really didn\u2019t. I\u2019ve rarely seen so few fucks given by any guy at the Tour, let alone a team leader.<\/p>\n This post is for paying subscribers only Already have an account?
