Expect more shenanigans from Pogacar tomorrow. Apparently from riders and good sources he didnt even go into the red today.

Surely not

Ayuso out with covid easy to forget how will that impact the team in the long run? They seem so strong anyway so will it have much to say in the long run a bitt less good only?

Addition by subtraction as it removes the team dynamic tension and his microscopic levels of domestique work prior to abandoning is hardly worth anything.

 

[hayneplane]

Giro-tour-WC in this era its impossible if he manage to do that we all witness the greatest season in history

Don’t forget he already won LBL as well

There will most likely be better team harmony and no worrying about a teammate sandbagging.

I think he went into the Pink today because he gained nearly 20 seconds in the last 800 meters. Jonas looked resigned to what will be as much as he recognized he was beaten today.

They looked happier today than yesterday. A lot happier. Maybe winning does that but so does shipping out a headache

 

[Miha81]

What? Hahaha if he didnt go into the red today the tour is over right now

We'll soon find out if he has reserves to put the hammer down prior to final rest day.

Can't wait for Johan Bruynell to tell me how UAE have no clue about tactics and that Pogacar shouldn't be doing any races at close to 100% before le Tour.

It's easy to understand Bruyneel, who's obviously the man of the 2000's era while his cycling vision stucked in bygone days. There was no riders like Pogacar in 2000's, his watts margin over the rest of the field is immense. Bruyneel should stop estimating the present-day cycling from US Postal perspective and rearrange his vision.

Anyone got a list of most grand tour stage wins in a year? He could easily end up with 10. How many people have won more?

Petacchi 2003 15 and 2004 13
Maertens 1977 18

Are the two riders off the top of my head.

Isn't it 20 for Maertens?

Almost within a month as the Giro started just after the Vuelta finished.

Another thing; I saw that he was the third rider in history after Merckx and Saronni to win multiple stages in his first seven Grand Tours. If he also finishes on the podium of this Tour, he will be the first ever to both finish on podium and win multiple stages of all the first seven Grand Tours.

It is, I didn’t count either prologue when I was counting the stages.

Thanks for that Pod btw been watching a few already really cool

 

[meat puppet]

Hopefully Pog lives up to his image today, meaning if he has the legs then use them too. Remove all doubt.

Well that's just stupid. What about GC riders?

And it was 28 in less than 365 days according to wiki.

Maertens did finish 8th in the Tour the year before and won the Vuelta that year. Are you looking for a rolling year or traditional?

Jan to december. Just though it was interesting that he did 28 out of 60 stages across 3 grand tours.
How much did he win in bonus seconds that year? Mental stat.
I know he won the vuelta but his palmares doesn't scream grand tour rider.

I'm back. Very important day today! Yesterday he was very impressive, superb ride! Let's see if Vingegaard can fight back, it would be great for the rest of the Tour. Go go Pogi!
