Blessed Tadej Pogacar. The place of birth that appears on your Slovenian passport does not matter. He’s pure art, unrepeatable, a runner to love because otherwise even cycling would be boring. And Adam Yates, who lets his best friend show off, even lets him fight for a general on another team that he’s already leading in 2020. Reward and hug the runner who should be UAE in the last one. To accompany pogakar when the real mountains come, next week in the Pyrenees and then with Puy de Dôme.

There was a time when you had the best twin brothers in cycling history. Adam and Simon YatesThey ran in the same team. They were so similar that they were confused until 2016. Adam The lap belt fell on him, showing that he was one kilometer from the finish line. He had the memory of a scar on his face that allowed him to identify them now without error, except for the mother. But for this you have to be close and without carrying it. Adam The happy mask that cyclists can’t take off when danger lurks from the public or journalists. But it’s impossible, except in ‘team jerseys’ as they both escaped on their way to Bilbao.

The twins live in Andorra. They have a house five minutes away, each with their spouse. And they meet whenever they have the opportunity to train together. When Pogacar and Vingegaard lowered their guard, they fled together. SimonHeading the Australian Jayco team, he won the 2018 Vuelta where Adam was home best. Adam signed this year with an obligation to help for the UAE pogakar but also with the freedom the Slovenian runner gave him, having his bright day, winning the first stage and wearing yellow. Having to beat his twin, Simon, who exploded 200 meters away from the finish line, to leave the place empty for his beloved twin brother, he obeyed without a twinge of conscience.
