Not sure if this has been posted somewhere in the forum already but just saw this article in the Guardian.

A concerning quote attributed to Tom Dumoulin - copied below.

Pogacar bursts clear to deliver payback in Alps and tighten Tour de France grip

The Giro d’Italia winner took a definitive and conclusive grip on the yellow jersey, with just two stages to go
www.theguardian.com www.theguardian.com

There’s definitely an element of arrogance. The rivalry between Vingegaard and Pogacar has spanned three years, and Pogacar can’t accept being beaten two years in a row. Now that he’s back in control and has the strength to challenge Vingegaard again, he’s thinking, ‘Now, I’ll get you back

Can't accept? This is a bit rich coming from the arrogance of Jumbo Visma in 2022, 2023 and 2024 up until stage 15 when they have since fallen strangely silent. This attitude doesn't come from Tom personally but certainly the team who dished out more than its share of arrogance and disrespect.

Visma and Tom just seems like sore losers.

And they are taking it hard because they are very arrogant. Thought they would win again, so it is amplified.

First time I watched the Armstrong podcast today. It was about Tadej, and he and Hincapie were very critical of Tadej’s move. Basically he didn’t ‘let’ an American win the stage and he’s very greedy and selfish and he ‘made a mistake’ and that don’t let them blablabla…

Armstrong's point isn't invalid, but he and George were def worked up because Pog beat their love Jorgenson. George especially.

Which is ridiculous, if Pog is going to give up the queen stage he has been targeting for months, and climbed many times, it won't be for a visma rider who was in the break initially to set up an attack for Jonas and for the team that has smashed pog 2 years running.

Johan disagrees with his ex rider Lance and George, and while they are all have a checkered past in cycling, Johan is the smartest of them.

And while I am at it, and talking about "being greedy" has the forum had collective amnesia regarding the domination of visma in 2023?

What a bunch of clowns. What has "mr. Livestrong" ever gifted to anybody? On contrary he was a cancer of peloton of the time bullying everybody (sometimes even his teammates).

The queens stage needs to be won by the upcoming Tour de France winner. End of story.

I can totally see Tadej ‘gifting’ one today and then seeing Lance and co completely upset about how he ‘disrespected his opponents’ by not trying and gifting a stage win…😅

The same Lance who ridiculed podium finishers at Milano Sanremo as being too friendly.

I wonder what the storyline will be this time. Everything for the clicks and sponsor money.
