After suffering significant time losses to his rivals on stage 4 of the Critérium du Dauphiné, Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates-XRG) admitted that he got his pacing strategy wrong in the time trial.
It was an odd sight to see the usually infallible Slovenian at such a disadvantage to stage winner Remco Evenepoel (Soudal-QuickStep) and second-placed Jonas Vingegaard (Visma-Lease a Bike), with the eventual deficits being 48 and 28 seconds, respectively, come the finish.
