Yeah. The mountain finish made the difference. Primoz went according to the plan, and that was almost working until he got to the Planche. Nobody could have predicted that Pogacar would ride up in record time. That's why Primoz looked so flustered.
My theory is that Pogacar deliberately ditched his bike computer when he made the switch. He's 21, and just rode as hard as he could for as long as he could. He had nothing to lose.
