I'm saying he did one year (22) with just about nothing but the TdF going on, that is what people have as reference, when saying he only peaks/focus on the tour.
You may have little respect for it. But this has not been untrue. He is and should be very satisfied with the resulted goal
The funny thing is that he had better results in one-week stage races that year than e.g. Evenepoel has ever had.
This is one of the most clear examples how the perception of fans and media can create a narrative that is just patently untrue, but that everyone believes. I can understand Pogacar tries to hold on to that narrative as well, after all it's good for his image and it's also a good excuse for why he failed two Tours in a row, but it's not true. Vingegaard is not a Tour-only rider, never has been, and probably never will be.
It's brilliant, now isn't it? Pog showed allarming strength in his lean and mean version 2 upgrade with Milan at Strade, the opening of a long build-up for the Big Ones; and then Vingegaard responds in kind. All I can say is buckle up for one hell of a ride this season and I wouldn't want to be an adversary of theirs.
Expect the unexpected. I think he will arrive in a better condition than those who had to suffer in Paris-Nice. I'm unsure if the 5th stage is hard enough, but it depends on how fast Vingegaard rides.
Did you hear the question? He nods along and moderates what the interviewer went fishing for.
A not even thinly veiled metaphor I'm sure.
I'm not that sure he will that much on iztulia and even winning the GC.
We'll see. I think it's better to have Tirreno in your legs than Paris-Nice, so maybe he can even challenge Rogla and Evenepoel in the ITT. No doubt he takes off in the last stage again. His team will also be better than last year.
I expect a better TT by him on iztulia, i didn’t like the TT he did on monday. He underperfomed a bit, it can be a concern in the first TT of the Tour.
Itzulia TT or Tour TT?
