Pogacar: Visma were a bit annoying with all the attacks, so I decided to make a better attack

Tadej Pogacar responded to relentless attacks from Visma-Lease a Bike in stage 10 of the Tour with a decisive move of his own in the end.

Despite conceding the yellow jersey to Ben Healy, the Slovenian star remained upbeat, showcasing his strength again.

“They were a bit annoying with all the attacks, so I decided to make a better attack,” Pogacar said post-race, addressing Visma’s aggressive tactics.

“Of course, it’s never easy to lose the yellow jersey. However, we lost Joao Almeida yesterday, and Pavel Sivakov is still recovering from his illness”.

“The goal was not to let Visma attack us or to defend their attacks. We did a great job, but now it’s a day off, and it’s good that I don’t have the yellow jersey. Honestly, I’m most happy not to be talking to journalists.”

Pogacar’s performance underscored his dominance, as he fended off Visma’s onslaught and solidified his position as a top contender.
