Haha wait? Did I miss this? Was it gravel stage?

So Pogacar just not only manhandled Vingegaard on the road he also did it publicly in media?
Poor guy even Evenpoel aswell. Talk about getting put in your place.

I think Vinge and Pog have always enjoyed mutual respect - no animosity. Since the Tour finished I note some gracious posts towards Pog’s victory on X from Visma - example above from @Lequack. That is refreshing after the team seemed overly confident that Pog would crack on PdB. That confidence was in turn a continuation of what the team believed after what had worked against Pogacar in 2022 and 2023.

But clearly Visma underestimated Pogacar’s potential level this year after what was a soft Giro and similarly over estimated Vingegaard’s abilities so soon after he was recovering from his Tour of Basque Country injuries suffered on April 4. Jonas didn’t fail, his performance was quite heroic knowing what he was coming back from.

Bring on 2025 for the next rematch.
