Wellens gave up for the stage...
Pog needed him to clean van Aert.

Visma was using Matteo to cook Pogacar.

Finally a happy Pogi in his element, outnumbered and still, if Ballerini dosen't close on the second passage, he might have won this. Counting the days to Kigali.

Those are cobbled climbs too. He is gonna murder everyone, isn't he?

The guy loves classics.
Completely different animal.
The peak of the Season for me for beautiful racing was Flanders - Roubaix.
Nothing beats that.

Wellens and Narvaez should be there. They could win today

No question

Yesterday, he fought for his stage, although Wellens was one of the riders who worked the hardest, so there's little to criticize him for. But if they knew Pogacar was going to compete in the stage, it's strange that no teammate was involved.

This stage was too short, which is the big difference with De Ronde. Pogacar pushed himself harder all Tour, and Van Aert obviously saved his strength.
Vingegaard's wife will be happy

I have nothing against Vingegaard, but I can't understand why anyone would prefer him over Pogacar. On days like today, the difference in ability and attitude is abysmal.

Not everyone can like blue. In other words, I don't get it but it's also good to have people with different "tastes" (except when they are trolls).

Yes, but many of those who are fans of Vingegaard attack Pogacar saying that he is boring and that doesn't make sense.

Great Tour by Pogacar.
It's clear his form in the 3rd week declined a bit compared to weeks 1-2, but he's still the strongest.

Great attitude today, going for the stage win. Love to see it.

He loves classics as it is simple racing, like in childhood: who's the first to the line. In stage races there is stress during and between stages and in case of GTs it lasts 3 weeks. Pogi probably doesnt like the Tour because its 3 weeks of stress while the pressure and obligation to win is the biggest.

Yeah, he also hates bidongates, brake checking, trash talking, mind games etc...

This is what we like to see from a champion, great ride by Poggy

 

[Fos]

He was impressive today. He destroys a peloton in these type of climbs and less than 2 hours efforts

In the 21 stage of Tour, after winning the GC by a huge margin.

Podium 6 years in a row....that must be a record too?

I think this is what you should expect from a potential goat on a day like this, it’s what separates a true all round racer like Merckx or Hinault from a Contador . Let’s go champ

LA

Meh

More important is the fact that he's been on the podium in all his GT races. I don't know how many riders have that record.

Of those who are active, he is the only one

 

[Valv.Piti]

Chapeau Pog. Could really have used Johnny or Timmy today, but WVA is my favorite rider, so...

Kinda hope he doesn't do La Vuelta and just smashes Kigali and Lombardia!
