The same pundits didn't actually suggest any way in which Visma could actually beat the best rider in the peloton, they just criticised whatever they did try. It's largely the same people that complain that riders race for second place when Pog is riding that criticised Visma for doing all they could to force some sort of crack in the third week.

Riding between Pog and the soigneurs in feed zones deserves criticism. It's underhand and borderline unsafe. If you watched live, you should have seen this repeatedly. Way too often to be accidental every time. It was needle, or maybe trying to throw him off the feeding plan and make him bonk at some point. OK, it's not a kidney punch, but haven't we lost enough champions to dirty tricks?
