Tadej Pogacar and Mauro Giannetti

[peterfin]

Hey guys, his wheels weren't spinning after his crash. Motordoping is not the reason for his level.

Unfortunately that kind of evidence we will never see when a tiny motor has a huge advantage such as during the climb to Hautacam today.

After Pogacar's crash yesterday there is talk that he might have a reduced performance today. Traditionally, we have seen when a rider has a crash, that it can take a couple of days to get back to full capabilities.

My question is, even though he has suffered a crash, will his performance go down much or will the use of his motor offset any shortcomings from the crash. Or maybe they will increase the watt capabilities of the motor given the fact that he has bruising/road rash.

Teddy will borrow a bike from Marc Marquez:

I think that's why he was so relaxed yeasterday about the bruises, he knows it's not going to affect the watts at all. Today we will see the VR5S for the first time since Dauphine and be prepared for the first super alien performance of this Tour.

I wouldn't know the difference in these bikes.
Would someone indicate here when the stage starts which bike he has chosen for today?

Right now its still the aero bike. Maybe he change during the stage to VR5S

1. Why would he use his motor when just riding on the flat in a small group?
2. Maybe he was turning his motor off when not paying attention right before he made himself crash

Made himself crash? We have a Stevie Wonder here

Good to see mountain goats like Tim Merlier dropping Skelmose and Evenepoel. Fully strapped if for a ridiculous acceleration now.

Right on time.

Yeah baby! My clock is ticking. In 30 minutes we will talk more!

 

[Notarobot]

If you still believe there's no motor in his bike after that attack, you'd better be silent forever.

 

[SorelyBoy]

Vroom vroom. Laughable.

 

[burning]

I think he's not beating Riis, but I am really rooting for Pogacar right now, LOL

July 17th, 2025 the day I stopped watching procycling.

 

[Raest]

What's the KOM for Hautacam?

 

[tyson766]

Sean Kelly on commentary, ‘He doesn’t look like he’s anywhere near the limit’.

 

[SorelyBoy]

TWO MINUTES!!! WE DEMAND TWO MINUTES!!!!!!!

 

[46&twoWheels]

gentlemen, we're making history today.

 

[burning]

gentlemen, we're making history today.

Not really, I don't think he's beating Riis sadly

 

[AttaqueDeRolland]

This sport is dead.

 

[glassmoon]

Did he at least try to put a suffering show for the cameras?

 

[snipeheem]

Worse than Riis. Tadej is clean

I'll stick to MTB XCO at least that's entertaining
