Like i said, Pogacar just had a bad day, and hear something about stomach issues. He didn't fade during all the third week

Of course he did. Even during the first two weeks it was obvious Poga was good, but not at top level. Then he had the logical relapse at the and of the Tour. Himself and his team of course never admitted it was due to the (not ideal) preparation. For "clarity". Poga wil also have a difficult last week in the Tour to come. Due to his efforts in the Giro (and the not perfect preparation for the Tour). Not as bad as last year. But given the fact that Vingegaard will not be at his best (or even not participating), that Roglic is allmost 35, that Evenepoel will have a few bad days, Pogacar could still win the Tour.
I don't know if it's true, because they were saying he was doing better perfomances than in 2022.
Pogačar was definitely better in ’23, or at least his peak shape was, because he could actually get Vingegaard off his wheel on a good day. He also wasn‘t beaten by their kilojoule strategy on Joux Plane
He went from torching Vingegaard at the end of an easy day to being pulled back after his attack, so I'd say it worked.
To me the question is not only about training shortcomings but also when his lung will fully recover so his engine can produce top wattage. I would say breathing is rather important for thermonuclear w/kg!
Oxygen is not required for nuclear reactions to occur so those thermonuclear w/kg will be there lungs or no lungs
Vingegaard was in the area 51 in the last weeks, where they put him a update software who has a new perfect lungs.
The lung issue was just a ruse. The guy's got gills and they've worked fine all along.
What risk?
Nobody is talking about racing Vingegaard when he's not healthy
You just try the Tour, if it doesn't work, you ride it in service of the Vuelta later
I don't think they are taking risks. He is not in Sierra nevada for some reason.
The thing with Vingegaard is he’s never lost the Tour as team leader. It’s the expectation that he wins. Sure he could go in saying no pressure, but the pressure is implicit. I respect whatever call they make about him.
They’ve already said he’s only racing if 100%, so going back and saying “nah he was only 90% but we put him in anyway” once he has a bad stage is a bad look, hypocritical.
I’m not even a Vingegaard fan but this crash is starting to convert me.
His injuries are far worse than a broken wrist. If he goes and wins, that would make him a true beast.

Jonas would get crushed on a TT like this by pogacar/ganna etc. He dont have the strenght/power in this type terain to be close even, he would stand no chance. This isnt a TT where pogacar ride hurt and in pain or where the entire TT is 60-70% downhill or uphill in 3 week more importantly, there he is fabelous!! This is something entirely different surely thats basic stuff. More like Vuelta last year, he there lost 1.17 in 25km. Or every other TT which is 90%flat, Remco and Roglic is also much better then Jonas on a TT like that, this have been the case entire career and everytime weve seen, so hes not even the closest.
3 week TT is different cause its not about tt so much then as it is how fresh you are, there he is stellar, especially if its uphill hes the only one close to Pogacar there.
Also I talked to Jonas a day ago and I wouldnt get my hopes up to much regarding the tour if your a fan, I dont think hes going if things dont drastically change fast, ill just leave it with that. The pneumothorax is a worrie for them. Which sucks if it is the case, hes a good lad would be awesome to have him in the tour.

I only run into Mathias Norsgaard and Sebastian Changizi from time to time... I should use Fly to get somewhere more interesting.
Guys... don't run into people, that's rude.
I might get passed by someone at some point, but not like I'd actually... interrupt them to talk.
It's my prejudices against TdF I guess. It's not a chillout race no matter who you are and especially not if you're Jonas on a recovery ride. Both the risk of going down and running into vampires.
Edit: I was too tired when I wrote to even explain I'm not talking about vampires but "energy vampires", such as the media. I'm not making yet another Cofidis joke (even if I think they're really funny as I'm a kid)

Speaking of Pokémon moves, Andreas Kron should have used cut in last year's LBL.

Watch the moment when Vingegaard surprises a journalist
TV MIDTVEST (Local TV in Jutland - Denmark) and he greeted Jonas Vingegaard on one of his training trips.
