Tadej Pogacar: "I know what happened yesterday and it won't happen again"

“After wat happened yesterday, I wasn’t 100% confident but I felt good today. I expected Jumbo-Visma to control the race this way. They have a very good team for that. We I tried to attack, Jonas never counter-attacked. I would have preferred that so I could have responded. He simply followed me and I wasn’t strong enough to drop him off. I know what happened yesterday and it won’t happen again. I spent too much energy in the ascent to the Galibier. It’s up to me to attack now. Jonas is impressive but I’ll put everything I have in the battle.”
