Absolutely. But the Tour is still more interesting with him than just with Pogacar.

I don't care. The point is that Jonas is literally the only one who can even hang in there with Pogacar on 1km hills. Seriously, without Vingegaard Pogacar could have just ridden away from his opponents on roughly 5 occasions during the flattest first week in recent history. With Vingegaard...

Kinda funny that this also happened on essentially the same mountain

Idk. If Vingegaard retires after this year and is remembered just as the boogieman who stole two TdF titles from the GOAT I think he will be remembered as a more mythical rider than if he adds two Giros to his palmares but gets smacked in the Tour every single year. I think it's hard to see a...

Man where are the days of 2022 and 2023. Back then a stage like this would have had me excited like a little kid the day before Christmas...

Yeah that's a good point. I'm probably coping.

On the positive side, I genuinely think Jonas had a bad day and I don't expect a repeat on Saturday. If the gap stays similar I think he might at least try something in the Alps. Not that I think he can actually drop Pogacar but I would be much more negative about the rest of the race if...

Tbf if Vingegaard had the gap to the rest of the field that I expected he would have been right with Pogacar. This was much more Vingegaard being disappointing than Pogacar being better than expected.

This Tour is kinda making me question whether Jonas' crash last year had a negative effect on his Tour shape at all.

At least the battle for third seems somewhat interesting this year.

Gotta love the TV direction for calling group 3 "Group Vauquelin"

My god the gap is gonna be absolutely enormous.

Yeah Vingegaard kept it close for a while, but Pogacars pace is higher. Race is essentially over.

And maybe even more importantly, if this is just a bad day his losses to everyone other than Pogacar and Vingegaard (who he was never gonna beat anyway) will be of a size which, if in good shape, he can still make up during the rest of the Tour. When you drop 5 km into the first mountain of a...
