Tadej Pogacar and Mauro Giannetti

[Saint Unix]

And after winning the Giro by over 10 minutes

 

[DrSahl]

Wow. All because Gel's have more carbs in them.

I´ve heard Pog shared a steak with Contador before the tour.
Anyway.. if they don´t do anything against something this obvious, then I might take a long break like I did in the late Armstrong era.. no point in watching this, its unbelieable and boring.

 

[Jumbo Visma Fan :)]

And what, it is not sad to see the lanky non climber winning the stage?

At least we have seen him be relatively conceivable compared to past riders. Pogi doesn’t fall under “conceivable”.

 

[Amazinmets87]

This guy just has to try the triple.

Hah, this coming from a vlab fan... I hope he crushes all the hopes and dreams of your team, the shoe is on the other foot now.

A state-sponsored team taking the piss on all of us - are we not entertained!

I’m not saying he’s clean, I’m saying Jonas is at least more conceivable of a clean rider because we’ve seen guys like him win the Tour before. Pogacar build riders haven’t really.

What are you talking about, according to the fanboys, we are privileged to witness the greatest cyclist of all time and a once in a lifetime talent. He just happens to have come along right when a new doping regiment was invented. It’s not his fault.

 

[DrSahl]

No mercy for Jorgenson.

Pog did not only go full nuclear on Vinge and Remco, but he had to just reach Jorgenson and look at him like "did you really think you had a chance" then saddly up in his bike and speed away.... vroom vroom.

 

[Divergence]

What a sight... the guy is angry

 

[Martinstranger]

It's just a little training ride - he has been listening to Lance and knows he cannot take another 3 minutes.

 

[proffate]

I was a Pog fan until this tour ☹️

I await the Chinese revenge

 

[Blanco]

Gianetti went way over the line this year with this guy.

[ChewbaccaDefense]

Whatever the fu*k that was, it wasn't clean.

 

[Saint Unix]

Break out the lead-lined sample jars, just in case.

 

[Forever The Best]

36 days in a GT lead this season. And apparently he has led GTs for more days than anyone else in a single season, even above Merckx. Completely beating his opponents into oblivion.

 

[Norks74]

Just when you think you've seen it all..

 

[Saint Unix]

Four minutes faster than Rominger and Indurain in 1993.

Is that...
A) Believable because Indurain was such a fatass and you know... sports science, nutrition and equipment is so much better or whatever
B) Unbelivable because Indurain was pumped to the gills on EPO
C) Right on the border between the two because they cancel each other out?

 

[Bronstein]

Pogacar rode an extra 1.32km. Not 160m.

What is most revealing is just how fresh he looks at the end of the race in comparison to other riders. Crazy stuff. But Vingegaard fans have no right to cry foul either given where he has come from. It's just that the stakes have been raised by UAE yet again in this nuclear war.

 

[Krzysztof_O]

Absurd level again: almost 1800 m/h for nearly 40 minutes on a moderately steep climb topping at 2000 m.

it's just bicycles that are much faster and lighter man

 

[Monoxidator]

He’s not even breathing hard. Makes you think he could do an Ironman tri right after the stage.
