Pogačar: "It was a rather stressful day"

Tadej Pogačar: "Today was a great example of how the Tour can get ugly even when the wind isn't blowing too hard. It was a rather stressful day. At the end of the day, I was happy the stage wasn't too long. I already recced the time trial a long time ago. I must say I love this course, it's a fantastic time trial. It'll be fast, but aerodynamics alone won't cut it, you need some oomph too. It'll be interesting to see how it plays out. I see Remco as the clear favourite. He's the world champion and has shown time and again that he can beat anyone he likes. He'll be the man to beat tomorrow, but I think I can do well too. Of course, he's a serious contender for GC. I think he's had this goal in mind since December."
