Every bike racer needs to work on their sprinting the best of their ability. Your strongest skill might be climbing, but you can bet it will come down to a drag race in the final meters pretty frequently. Today's race was yet another example. Pogi has used his sprinting abilities to nibble away seconds from his GC rivals a few times, and almost got another 1 or 2 today.

Tomorrow...Expect fireworks and hand-to-hand combat.
