He smashed Pantanis record, so the confidence was well placed. Astonishing performance given his injuries and interrupted preparation. His problem is that he’s up against an extra terrestrial alien.You have to have so so much confidence to pull this today. I can't help but ask myself where this confidence could come from given the stage before you lose 40sec to your rival.
They will still say that everything went as they had planned in the interviews regardless of the result...Today clearly felt like a stage Visma had targeted, Pog on another level though.
For sure, but his plan was to drop him. Still a mega climb, not weak by any standard.He smashed Pantanis record, so the confidence was well placed. Astonishing performance given his injuries and interrupted preparation. His problem is that he’s up against an extra terrestrial alien.
Think about the fact about Vingegaard´s crash and how he did a micracle recovery and now think about that he would have beaten Armstrong... depiste that injury recovery so short before the tour..I thought Vingegaard would crush Pogacar eventually, but not so much anymore. Vingegaard tasting his own 'medicine' from last year with extra-extra terrestrial performances from Pogacar
I hope he and Pogacar can be caught sooner than later. This is a joke
No wonder VLAB were full of trash-talk in week one - they had something special cooked up for today. Unfortunately for them, UAE came with something stronger…
Yeah, they banked on today and then likely next week. Take some more time back and win it in the TT. Claim superior recovery.No wonder VLAB were full of trash-talk in week one - they had something special cooked up for today. Unfortunately for them, UAE came with something stronger…
Yup, today was meant to be another Granon, they’ve been laying the foundations for it for 2 weeks.Yeah, they banked on today and then likely next week. Take some more time back and win it in the TT. Claim superior recovery.
I agree. It's crazy that Vingegaard - according to what he's said himself - is able to pull off one of his best performances ever given the preparation he's had for this Tour.Think about the fact about Vingegaard´s crash and how he did a micracle recovery and now think about that he would have beaten Armstrong... depiste that injury recovery so short before the tour..
Now think about Pog also taking 5 minuttes on Armstrong.
Something is not rotten in Denmark, something is rotten in Cycling and I fear there always will be.. but why not atleast have more contenders, atleast that would make most people forget all the silly and obvious stuff going on..
I'd laugh my ass off if Vingegaard did a Landis in the final week.
I‘m sure that will save him![]()

I'm really surprised the times from 2004 aren't high, as they went full gas from the bottom. Where's 2007 there were periods of slowing up and looking at eachover.![]()
