I guess he wouldn't mind if a rider ahead of him changes lane and chops him off.

The era of "bad boy" Pog. He slams reporters, he's moody, he criticizes UCI, he wants to retire, etc.

He has PTSD with Pogacar
So it's just a matter free or how much it costs, but Pogacar is living inside the heads of all Visma riders and team directors!!
If you are talking about a rider who is not there, your not focused..
Jorgenson blew up his TDF w lapse of concentration.. Multiple times.. Now he is starting the Vuelta thinking about Pogacar!!! Probably talking to Cian's old coach..
Get it together man!! You are at the Vuelta!! You have a job to do!! Tadej should be nowhere in any thought process for the grand tour!! What a bizarre way to start your mental preparation, your plan for the Vuelta.

Rolf Aldag is looking for work!!
 
Teddy really needed to just shut up about DVP's relegation. If he doesn't agree, lets see his opinion when somebody wrecks him by intentionally chopping his wheel. He couldn't even take not getting a bottle, without throwing a tantrum.
We just saw how Pogacar would react a little over a month ago.

That was unintentional. DVP's move was completely intentional. Try again.

You can't compare a deviation in a sprit for a win, to a move to try to cover an attack, where the rider unintentionally moved across Teddy's wheel.

Teddy needs to shut up.

Edit: Lets also pretend that it wasn't Johannessen, but Jorgensen. Teddy would have seen that very differently, even it it was unintentional. Heck, there were Teddy fambois on this forum, claiming that Visma would pay someone to intentionally take Teddy out...

This is an old and predictable behaviour by fans who don't like a specific rider. If their favorite rider is no longer able to beat Pogacar (or even compete against him), the alternative strategy is to find a silly argument to bash or criticize Pogacar in order to mask their frustration.
It is a typical behaviour from people (me included. I don't suffer from this anymore but Contador after his ban made me suffer a lot, specially because I disliked Sky so much).

Who was that guy? Please, don't say Mou...

If it was Jorgensen, do you think it is that bold to think he would be able to do that intentionally? I firmly believe a lot of people here believe Visma was playing dirty games with Pogacar in the Tour/Dauphiné.
They are not UAE, they are way more professional than UAE and way less naive.

I like Pogacar, but his comments today are complete and utter BS, and you know it if you watched what DVP did.

Johannessen had plenty of space to move further ahead before he cut in front of Pogacar. Johannessen was level with Pogacar, knew he was there, and continued to right to his right and cut in front of Pogacar too soon. DVP was ahead of Brennan and used Wærenskjold to shut the door on anyone that could be coming which many sprinters do with either another rider or barrier. The jury response is from Brennan and Wærenskjold almost crashing.

Jorgenson is on the team of Pogacar’s direct rival, of course it would be thought of differently. Honestly wouldn’t be surprised if UAE or Visma didn’t stoop to that level, but Visma was the team causing issues with feeds and bottles and it isn’t the first edition it happened (just the first to the extent it was).
 
Him being vocal about a cycling incident that he has no part in is generally a good thing, I prefer riders to be outspoken and have an opinion instead of being bland and boring.
Having said that, of all incidents this year, defending DVP and the deviation yesterday is probably the worst hill to die on lol. Is he friends with Van Poppel or was he annoyed about Narvaez losing 2 more bonus seconds to Waerenskjold due to the relegation? Bit weird to get agitated about a random stage in a .1 race.
