'You don't know if you don't try' - Onley and Fisher-Black get burned trying to follow Pogačar's 'lethal' acceleration at UAE Tour

Oscar Onley (Picnic PostNL) crosses the finish line atop Jebel Hafeet during stage 7 at the UAE Tour.

Many riders have paid the price of trying to follow Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates-XRG) when he makes one of his searing attacks, but among the latest to get burned while pursuing the Slovenian's wheel were Oscar Onley (Picnic PostNL) and Finn Fisher-Black (Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe).

The Scot and the Kiwi felt the full brunt of Pogačar's power during the UAE Tour's final stage when he made his winning move 7.8km from the crest of Jebel Hafeet, initially opting to try and match the acceleration before later being passed by those who chose to ignore the Slovenian's move.
