Maybe it was the reason for Pogacar to catch him in Isola.Last year, Matteo made clinical insinuations about Pogacar. It's understandable that he doesn't like him.
And he's also made hints about Pogacar on social media.

And it does look like the UAE guy, handing bottles was just past the Visma guy...and it's entirely possible that Jorgensen blocked him intentionally.JFC, what an utter nothing-burger. Barely touched him.
He did it on purpose. Pogacar says Visma do this constantly so it wasn't the first time.And it does look like the UAE guy, handing bottles was just past the Visma guy...and it's entirely possible that Jorgensen blocked him intentionally.
I really do hate things like that in any arena. The world is stressful enough, and sport is stressful enough. Intentionally messing with a simple thing like a feed is just adding stress unnecessarily, it's just stupid, especially when the guy you're poking a guy can rip your legs off whenever he wants. Plus, what harm is there in showing respect to another rider? I know I am bombastic, and can be really confrontational, so this may be hypocritical of me, but I think encouraging more kindness in the world doesn't hurt anyone.He did on purpose. Pogacar says Visma do this constantly so it wasn't the first time.
Matteo didn't even react to Pogacar so it's clear he did it on purpose.
This interview with Matteo tell us everything. He doesn't even explain, just avoided any answer.

He can be in some ways, but this was him acting out of frustration, and he deserved to be frustrated.Wait, what? I thought that " PoGaCaR is A BiG bULLy ! "
Yeah, but I haven't seen anything (yet) to convince me of that intent either.No idea about the context or what Mateo has been up to, or whether he blocked Pogacar from a bottle or not. But I think the issue was less the shove and more the clear intent, successfully implemented, to prevent him from getting a bottle.
We have sometimes our heated discussions but I must say I like your authenticity.I really do hate things like that in any arena. The world is stressful enough, and sport is stressful enough.

lmao Matteo you muppet, turning your head to the side, "I don't need to comment on that." Just own the *** up to itWait, what? I thought that " PoGaCaR is A BiG bULLy ! "
Because they're both attacking riders who take risks to win.Why is there no animosity in the classics between Mathieu and Tadej and only respect?
With those twigs for arms, that was probably full power from Pog 🫢Matteo was basically beaten.
If Almeida finishes the Tour in this condition, I think he'll be given a rest and won't be in the Vuelta.Pogacar said he will probably race the Vuelta. Good news!

"La Vuelta is on my calendar" - Tadej Pogacar finally admits Vuelta a España return
In what was perhaps the most uneventful day of the Tour de France so far in terms of overall classification contention, Tadej Pogacar was asked in a post-race press conference about the Vuelta a Españ...cyclinguptodate.com
Only a stage left to star the real TdF. I hope he doesn't crash because I want to see his new climbing level.Tadej in the last positions without worrying about losing seconds in splits during the last few kilometers? He must trust the numbers he's handling, and they must be beyond the stratosphere.
I hope his broken rib is not that bad and he can be competitive in the last week. Then recover and peak for the Vuelta.If Almeida finishes the Tour in this condition, I think he'll be given a rest and won't be in the Vuelta.
Let's agree to disagree.The vast majority does. Are belgians celebrating Wout's second places? Or Pogacar's 2nd places in the Tour add anything to his palmares? I don't think so to be honest.
Avoiding that bully JorgensenBut why was he doing that?
Pog lives in their heads without paying rent. I hope he blows them out of the universe on hautacam.If they deliberately tried to disrupt his feeding, I think that's a low blow. That's bellow the belt.
Having said that, this just adds to the rivalry. Let it build up. And we're here to watch it unfold live.![]()
