So Riccitello would have been 12th: not a bad result for him.

Simply extraordinary. We're getting to watch history every day now.

After the Olympics, what's his schedule like? Fatigue has gotta kick in soon, right?

Yeah its simply amazing.

He has evolved into beeing not only the best cyclist of all time which he was before by a huge margin already (best not the greatest learn the difference if anyone gets mad..)

Then he goes on to do this, first the giro now this its just out of this world nothing else to say. And now clearly also the best climber of all time its just breathtaking it really is. And indeed we get to witness history every day its really is something else.

 

[velaso montador]

He now holds the best and second best climbing performance of all time haha holymoly. This guy is next level clearly the best climber of all time too now..

World champ then his fourth Lombardia.

 

[franic]

His main target this year was worlds. I don’t think he’ll risk it with the vuelta

Isn’t the Vuelta the best training for Worlds?

 

[Jan the Man]

No chance he rides the Vuelta. Break after the Olympics then I'd guess WC, Emillia and Lombardia

 

[jmdirt]

BEAST!

Its not tr*ll*ng if I tell you its coming....the GdI destroyed this guys legs!

Not necessarily considering crashes and total race days compared to peak periods

I like Jonas but not Visma. Glad to see Pogi deny them stage win today and hope he does it through Sunday. They would do it to him if they could as they did already...really like Matteo....but the denial of his win wasn't because of him...Pogi wants bigger gap of win than Visma got of him last year. i like revenge like that in sports. bring it on.

Totally agree and yes a 7 minute gap by Nice is a distinct possibility. Has anyone heard from Richard Plugge since stage 15?

No, Plugge is a fraud and apparantly did a disapperance act once it was obvious that Pog was on another level. No problem with what I have seen and heard from Grischa, he seems like a nice fellow to me.

 

[Poursuivant]

He is fast at riding his bike.

Remember when riding the Giro made riders tired in the third week of TDF?

 

[JimPanzen]

Even if Visma is saying this Vingo is doing his best numbers ever, I am not sure I totally buy into it. There is psychology in wanting opponents to believe Vingo can't hang next year with pogi.

I see what you mean. I also assume that there is tremendous upside with Vingegaards form. Next year should be exciting.

Wouldn't Vingegaards 6,85 w/kg for 40:58 on Plateau de Beille be the second greatest of all time?

Its not even top 5..and way worse than Vingegaards stage 15 this year. Why Vingegaard and Visma say he never did better.

Well im not surprised talk of the town been Pogacar is so much better than next man even if you hear it from the horses mouth themself the gap is supposedly so big its hard to believe the numbers but here we are. On sunday expect another win he will crush Evenpoel.

 

[vwpe]

The crazy part if you believe it or not im not sure if I even do but people around the peloton riders and SD said they believed/heard he even hold back on Isola2000.

His demeanor wasn't indicative of having left it all on the road.

 

[SHAD0W93]

With how the last week has gone and Pogacar’s love for the theatrics, what are the odds of the conspiracy theory of Pogacar faking weakness on stage 11 to give Visma hope is true or not.

 

[2WpK]

Does anyone know what he said to Quinn Simmons during the first HC climb of stage 19 that made Simmons laugh?

Just wait to see what I do to Visma in a couple hours.

I think he legit bonked. Feels too elaborate a scheme and there was not certain Vingo could even claw back that much to him. Others certainly couldn’t

He choose the right day for his off day I guess
