Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates-XRG) can in many ways be predictable. Take when he attacked in Strade Bianche at the exact moment he told everyone he would, for example, and how he dominates much of the calendar, as most expect him to. But at the UAE Tour in 2025, he's kept everyone guessing throughout the week with several attacks over 130km from the finish.
Is he bored? Is this all a game to him? Is he worried about detraining on an easy sprint stage? It turns out, it's perhaps a mix of all three.
