Believe the 🐐 when he is saying the training was all about the long climbs👏👏👏

superb ride - his faith in his own ability is admirable

Told everyone. Every stage is different and he looks the strongest. Second stage win and better GC standings. Impressive day. Tomorrow he will take his 3th if his team is ready.

Now its time to play defence. Vingegaard won't drop Pog, and Pog can counter and seal the deal before the ITT. Amazing performance!!

Still think wednesday was a bad day by Pogacar and not representative for whatever reason. You cannot tell me Vingegaard gains 35 seconds on Perthus against this Pogacar.

Now lets have the watts per kilo

I have to admit that I completely failed in my predictions for today.
On the other hand, the UAE must be recognized as having the PERFECT perfect tactics, even more so than Pogacar's victory itself. They had total control since the beginning, meanwhile cooking Visma, then they launched Yates forcing Jorgenson , the last man, to be consumed. At that point on "easy" and more suitable slopes, Pogacar attacked certain that Vingegaard could not receive any help. Simply perfect

no idea why you thought he wouldnt just ride away from vingegaard again. With all respect 2023 when he rode with a fracture wrist as reference is just wild.

@Medvind

the long mountains with 2023 as reference when we know he wrode in pain even can we stop that now its wild cope

Well well. He just rode away again and dropped vingegaard with ease like weve seen every mountain this tour and entire year. No idea why some people would not believe it would happen again. I made bank atleast.

The eyes never lie

The faith is back brother !

Good Only a crash can stop him. People using 2023 as anything thats just cope mechanism he was hurt and rode with a fractured wrist..

This year which matter and he ride away from everyone with easy everytime its hardly a surprise anymore.

The eyes never lie

Hats off to Pog and UAE, they played it perfect today and Pog was just superstrong in the end.
Very smart to attack before the lower gradients in the end where Pog has a clear poweradvantage over Vinge. Did the same thing on Tourmalet stage last year.

Clear advantage now, Vinge and his team got a bit exposed today.

Confidence is back, he will be hard to stop.

he hasn't really ridden away - it's the usual pattern of a burst than produces c. 30 secs gap but no more. still a lot to come from JV

I never went scared before these stages and never once didnt believe he would just ride away easy again like weve seen every stage with mountains this entire year he wants too. Not that that matter at all but I didnt hide or was scared like many others before this stage

The eyes never lie bro

 

[TrekCyclist]

Big question of this tour was and still is: will Pogacar have a real jour sans or not?

 

[gregrowlerson]

Maybe we haven't. pogacar is capable of a burst getting 30 secs of Vingegaard but JV always reels him in. Tad has thrown everything at him so far and got just a few secs on climbs.

Vingegaard is going to destory him from this point on.

This post didn't age well.

Having said that, tomorrow is another day, and it's a tougher MTF with warmer conditions, so let's see what happens. Vingegaard is not necessarily dead yet.

 

[gregrowlerson]

How was Pantani versus Armstrong even noteworthy? Pantani didn't ride GC that Tour and was gifted a stage win.

Pogi vs. Jonas is a few galaxies away from that.

There is probably a Lourdes version of Pantani in Italy somewhere.

 

[gregrowlerson]

Told you guys you was in for a show today. He has watts everyone else can dream off.
