    Teams & Riders Tadej Pogačar discussion thread

    People are speculating and trying to work out scenarios because the expectations were sky-high before this Tour. After 2024 and the first half of this season + Dauphine we all expected he will obliterate the Tour where in fact it was nothing like that, Visma put on a really good fight and Jonas...

    https://www.facebook.com/reel/718284264315948 Before yesterday’s stage, when asked what he had learned about himself during this Tour de France, Tadej said he’d only talk after Paris, joking that he might even make a podcast about it. Feels like we might finally learn what really happened...

    There was obviously a pre-Hautacam Pog and post-Hautacam Pog but the gap is concerningly big between the two.

    His last attack couldn’t even drop Oscar Onley…

    Let’s be honest, the tour was already won, this was a free win and he just didn’t go for it. Concerning.

    I don't understand anything, gifting another stage to Arensman just because he again couldn't drop Vingegaard ?

    Judging by this and by everything that happened this Tour and this season, I think the rumours about skipping the Vuelta due to mental fatigue might actually be true. Think about this, he is already on a long season that started with the UAE Tour which I am sure he would have liked to skip...

    He could have easily put another minute on Vingo if we would have wanted today judging by how easily he rode away at the end , he is really conserving energy and avoiding going too deep again for some reason.

    Pogi looked much more comfortable today than he did on Ventoux, and Vingegaard seemed noticeably weaker. All that talk about Jonas recovering better and thriving on longer, harder stages feels like a distant memory now. Hopefully, Pogi is just pacing himself and saving energy for what could be...

    Any chance that Pog just lets Visma pace to bring the gap down while waiting for the final steep portion and Narvaez launches him for the stage win ?

    Has Visma let Jorgenson go for the stage win ? Did they give up then ? Doesn't make sense otherwise to let Vingegaard alone in the valley.
