Just wait till he wins the Vuelta in a few weeks.Congrats to Pogi on another victory. Most difficult terrain is behind him so his second TdF victory is almost there. Let's see if he can win the TT making it four stages and beating last TdF's result. He won 3 stages in each GT he has taken part in so far (no slow start, a monster from a get go, wow).

Armstrong most years. At least the later ones
To be fair, I think he misunderstood the question as should he be worried for Vingegaard. He seemed to backtrack almost straight away when he said it.Armstrong most years. At least the later ones.
Anyway, I'm starting to admire the "I don't give a **" attitude he shows on and off the road.
"Why should I be worried?", well, of course he's right, there is absolutely no reason to be worried. He's a cannibal and an innocent child at the same time, with no clue how it could be so hard to others, loves to dominate, loves to win, hates to lose.
That was a stupid question you would expect from someone who never watched cycling before to be honest. Might as well have asked him if he will fight with Cavendish tomorrow.Armstrong most years. At least the later ones.

Chapeau to him, but the entertainment is killed either way. Whether we do it like Ineos or like Pogacar, there is no competition.
Hopefully we'll see someone that will challenge him for something!!!
Too be fair to Roglic that was outside sources.He will be challenged at one point. But teams who want to beat him should look out for riders with good bike handling, descending and positioning skills. Because although I don't really want to put blame on riders who crash, it just needs to be said that Thomas crashing, Porte crashing, Evenepoel crashing and even Lopez or Roglic crashing does not come totally unexpected; the risk is just higher for them than for someone like Pogacar.
I think these riders in bold and Bernal are the most important as of right now. I don't think that neither Thomas nor Porte were going to be any factor at all.He will be challenged at one point.

He even looked like he was enjoying working for another rider. Guess it must help when the guy you are busting a gut for is highly likely to reward your efforts with a stage win for the team.But hell what is Majka very good this Pyrenees

I think they could have been a factor in a numbers game as long as Pogacar didn't know what they are capable of... I don't think they could have been close to challenging him on their own.
Yes, probably. On the other hand, maybe van der Poel would have stayed on his bike in that situation. I don't know. Roglic is not a bad bike handler per se, but he still seems to have problems with certain situations and riding in the peloton.
Froome had 13 victories in 2013, Contador had 11 in 2009, 10 in 2008. Neither of the two had Pogi's sprint. Rogla had 13 wins in 2019, 12 in 2020 (with the reduced season).Pogačar already has 11 wins this season.
He is winning at the same rate of a Cavendish, Kittel or Ewan on their better years which is almost unheard of for a modern GC rider.
