'Would you give away stages?' - Tadej Pogačar consumes all on Col du Tourmalet at the Tour de France but does he win too much?

Key Points:

• Tadej Pogačar and UAE Team Emirates-XRG dominated stage 6 of the Tour de France, with Pogačar pulling away to a commanding lead of 2:42 over main rival Jonas Vingegaard, effectively putting the race out of reach for others after just one mountain stage.
• UAE Team Emirates controlled the race tempo, systematically dropping competitors on the Tourmalet climb, showcasing their strategic strength and Pogačar's relentless pursuit of stage wins.
• Despite questions about whether Pogačar's dominance might be wearing on fans, his teammates and insiders emphasize that winning every possible stage is the goal, as victories at the Tour can define careers.
• Pogačar's recent performances under coach Javier Sola have reduced the likelihood of bad days, making his continued dominance more probable, and he is expected to maintain control through upcoming stages, including sprint days.
• While the record for most Tour stage wins (Mark Cavendish's 35) remains distant, Pogačar shows no signs of slowing down, embracing the mental and physical demands of leading the race and pursuing further victories.
