Would have to be a GC win. Pogs playing catch up, trying to bring down the deficit before the TT.
Pog for the win in my team.

It is better for the history of cycling that Cav shares the record with Merckx.

cav caused more than his fair share of crashes in sprints. good at what he did but also an insufferable shit who tried to barge his way through gaps that didn't exist, on too many occasions.

Eddy certainly thinks so. I'm sure there has been several times over the past 4-5yrs that he was on the edge of his seat. A couple of crashes and disqualifications has kept it as a shared record.
Eddy won all his in 6yrs, Cav over 15yrs.
Pog on 10 at age 24.

If you have GCN+, there's a documentary on Merckx.

Too true. Clean winners have been a rarity throughout the history of cycling.Merckx was not adverse to chemical assistance...and tested positive 3 times in his career

I like to think Cadel was clean. There is no denying he wasn't particularly liked by any of his team mates, prickly little shit. Cannot think of another, off the top of my head.

Definitely needs to be updated. I was a big fan of Denis Menchov, but he's a cheat. As are Froome, Wiggins, Pereiro, the Shlecks.
It's all rather depressing really.

Wiggins used a Therapeutic Use Exemption for a steroid that preserved muscle mass but shredded fat, to win the TdF in 2012.
Froome, well, he could be a brand ambassador for Salbutamol, plus any TUEs he might have had. He was definitely gaming the system with Salbutamol in the 2017 Vuelta de Espagna, exceeding the allowable dosage. Team sky's lawyers made it all go away, but fans at the Giro in 2018 knew what was up.

100%. The Biological Passport can also be fudged, if a rider's "baseline" indicators have been altered by doping from the get go.
The casual observer might wonder why I watch pro cycling at all, but I think these days I watch the Giro, TdF and the Monument Classics such as the Tour of Flanders and Paris Roubaix for the spectacle and toughness of the events as much as anything.
For some reason, I have never been super interested in the Vuelta, probably because everything else has the volume turned down after watching the TdF.

Bit disappointed that the GC lads weren't smashing all comers but tactically, they didn't need to I guess.
I wonder if Pog strategically let Vingers have "the win" in stage 5 as a set up
5 more mountain stages and the ITT to come. If Pog can take time on the next couple of mtn stages, I'd say he'll win the mental game.
Unless Pog is caught napping, the strength of Jumbo is just towing both riders to their launch point

Pog might have had one off day, or as you say, let Vingegaard have yellow. There is prestige in wearing and defending the yellow jersey, but from a tactical standpoint it's a pain in the bum, as other teams often leave it to the leader's team to chase down breaks, and it can burn out the other riders in the leaders team all too quickly.

Well I guess getting to dictate wee breaks is a perk

That would make it the "wee Jersey".
I'm 200% sure that the individual riders' bladders dictate when piss breaks happen. YMMV

The unwritten rules of the Tour de France - what are they and how are they enforced?
You've got your rules, and then you've got your 'unofficial' rules that actually determine how the race plays out...
