Tadej Pogacar and Mauro Giannetti

[QueenStagiaire]

That was just a motorized bike.

Must have been the most shitty motor in existence then

 

[Rackham]

What the actual *** did we just watch 🤯

UAE's revenge for Combloux.

 

[burning]

I wonder how would Pantani have reacted to this, he would probably approve this racing

Remember last year Jonas ITT everyone was in shock? Those were the old days

it was the rider that was shitty

 

[Rackham]

Like to apologise to Chris Froome for accusing him of doping all those years back.

Froomey. If you're seeing this.

The irony is he did dope. But he appears almost quaint compared to these pros.

remember pdbf 2020 lmao

 

[Vudy]

It is the numbers that Mou was talking about. A couple need to apologize asap for ridiculing his claims. They know who they are.

Everybody ridiculed him. Now it seems he was telling the truth all along.

 

[Zoetemelk-fan]

Back grupetto virtual timeloss to Pogi right now 42m17s, still with 8,1k to go.
What was the time limit again? 47m and ?s
Definitely OTLs today.

Edit: tour site GPS is shredded, unreliable gps data I think.

UAE and Visma just keep 1-upping each other, I wonder what we’re gonna get next year

 

[Rechtschreibfehler]

Insane performance today, up there with the most astonishing displays of athletic endurance the sport has seen. The dial has been upped another notch again this year, UAE weren’t going to beaten at this years race.

It can't just be UAE, Vingegaard okay lost 1 minute, but that was still totally nuts. Remco beat Pantani too, I think also Landa?
Pogacar's maturing, so some "natural" progression was to be expected. I don't know if they needed to up anything for that.
It's just that we are seing, without a clue to what it is, the potential of the new stuff. It's only been a few years since the change took part, so it's also learning time when it comes to usage. If you will that would be taking it up a notch, yet everything else (not learning) would be surprising.

But damn.
This is getting hard to see. I'd like someone to convinve me that consuming carbs more on an exact schedule makes your endurance a million times better, with scientific evidence. It would be more enjoyable.

 

[Mayomaniac]

I expect the French press to go nuclear at some point.

 

[Forever The Best]

Is this the greatest climbing performance of all time? Was left in awe.
Also, there was a point where the group only consisted of 2 Visma riders, 2 UAE riders and 2 Quickstep riders. Cyclisme a deux vitesses indeed.

 

[noob]

3 minutes on Pantani for Pog. 2 minutes on Pantani with a collapsed lung. 10 seconds Remco who peope says is overrated.

 

[houtdffan]

Craziest performance I have ever, ever seen. Granted, didn't watch cycling in 00s, but this was how I i.agine it was back then

Nothing like this.

Lance would have lost 5 minutes today

@Froome

 

[Mayomaniac]

I'm starting to feel sorry for commentators who have to hype and defend this *** while keeping a straight face/not laughing.

In terms of Watt/ Kilo it absolutely was. We talk well well above 7 Watt/ Kilo here for 40 minutes..

 

[AttaqueDeRolland]

So did Pogi just push 7,3 w/kg on a 40-minute climb?

This is a clown show. Gianetti has no shame, they're not even trying to hide it any longer. He'll go to La Vuelta and win that as well. The once-thought-impossible feats have become absolute standards for this freak. This year he'll do the triple crown, next year he'll win all five monuments. There is zero shame, all greed, they want it all, and to make matters even worse they're doing it all as a sportswashing project for a despicable regime.

At least you must have less regrets regarding Rogla's crash and his lost (not too big) chances for victory!

 

[noob]

Maybe why Lance prefer Roglic

 

[magliaroz]

They will never be as nuclear as this Pogi. This is the nuclear fusion of doping, Pogi gets his energy from the stars.

 

[Heston]

UAE dont even care anymore. This is so over the top that any sane person can see whats happening

 

[Salvarani]

The Empire strikes back ✊

 

[burning]

I think Pogacar also beat mr 60% performance on Hautacam, and Jonas is very close to it, that is some next-level stuff
