Vingegaard
filleted?

Back to the fish plant

 

[Tim Cahill]

Get on the phone to Roglic and ask what he's doing this July Zeeman you clown.

 

[DNP-Old]

I swear, if Sivakov ever starts speaking about a leadership role or freedom in the TdF I will smash things.

 

[Red Rick]

What's the temperature?

 

[ppanther92]

That smile from Pogi was everything, just laughing at the Tour winner's attack.
Vingo parcheggio.

If he wouldn't have smiled at last years Tour stage where he cracked as well, it would have feeled like he was pleasently surprised that Vingegaard's attack didn't hurt at all.

 

[topcat]

If only Roglic was here to give Poglic a race. NVM.

 

[Elos Anjos]

I swear, if Sivakov ever starts speaking about a leadership role or freedom in the TdF I will smash things.

He's the russian french Soler.

 

[RedheadDane]

So, Pogacar in yellow and white.
Pogacar also in polka dots?
Who's in green?

 

[saunaking]

Watch Naichaca ignore tailwind in W/kg calculation

and Chris Horner gonna have a field day!

 

[Bolder]

Nice move by Gaudu, now in second? Pogacar in beast mode. Vingegaard is still working into shape for the real prize...but I thought he'd be better.

 

[Divergence]

Good on you JV, you certainly are betting on the right guy...

 

[Tim Cahill]

FDJ are low-key flying

 

[TourOfSardinia]

 

[DoYouEvenRideBruh]

Oof. That was a huge gap for this sort of climb.

 

[Red Rick]

Vingegaard has a recurring problem when he's attacked he tries too hard to follow and blows up completely IMO. Happened in Il Lombardia. Happens here now.

It's only March. He should be fine come July.

Supposedly he was in great shape, destroying at Grand Camino...

 

[Didinho]

Bardet Jr takes yellow it seems!

 

[Andy schleck]

Clearly vingegaard during the year, is not the same vingegaard of july, so this doesn’t mean anything. He even was beaten by mader.
Kudos for pogacar, mentally is also a great win for him. He got what he wanted, drop Vingegaard.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Four Frenchmen in the top-7 of a WT MTF, been a while, and made more impressive given that two of the other three are the most recent Tour winners.

I agree but as great as Pogacar is as a rider (which he obviously knows), I still think such wins vs. his biggest rivals are good for confidence.

 

[Kazistuta]

Good on you JV, you certainly are betting on the right guy...

I guess you're being sarcastic. Either way you can't read anything about July into todays result. Just that Pogi IS as good as we all foresaw.

 

[gunara]

Lol Mäder, I know it's not that long ago, yet it's almost strange to see him at this level again. Vaquelin is good.
Pog is just in vulgar, destructive mode.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Tadej is peaking well for his main season target of the Tour of Flanders but will face tougher competition in Gregoire and Fred Wright on the Kwaermont, looking strong against intermediate competition here however so fair play.

 

[Ilmaestro99]

Biggest disappointment is Simon Philip Yates.

I think we all expect pogacar to beat vinge in spring at cold weather
