Remco in Rwanda TT

But what is wrong with you? You came here just to taunt? But yes, Remco in Rwanda TT was a total humiliation just like Combloux, Hautacam, LBL, GdL.

Hey, you asked

I have not seen you post anything positive about remco, so no wonder you take that response so hard.

So overall who had the most dominant win?

Vingegaard

 

[canina82]

Hey, you asked

What did I ask? We are comparing Tours and you come here with a WCTT.

 

[canina82]

Vingegaard

Thanks for answer. For curiosity, I created a poll to understand what people think.

Where did I talk about Remco to be responded with "Remco in Kigali"?

In that case Vingegaard is more memorable and more spectacular. Both the TT and WVA green jersey dropping Pogacar and Vingegaard going solo. I'll remember Pogacar winning more, and being best (dominant) but Vingegaard victories are more beautiful. It's nice to see David slay Goliath. Goliath winning is just confirmation most of the time, save if something memorable happens like coming back after 3 flat tires on crucial moments.

Also purely on time difference (not emotion, how the race felt) it's curiously Vingegaard with 7'29''
Biggest gap Pogacar got was 6'17''

Come to think of it, i also can't remember a Vingegaard moment in the Tour were he completely collapsed the way Pogacar did. (and Remco did last year). Vingegaard collpased in EC RR last year, but never in the Tour so far.

Pog 2024 was definitely more dominant than Vingegaard 2023. Not even a question. 2025 likely more dominant if Pog doeesnt crash and get sick due to Jonas being quite bad

Jonas had a minute more

 

[Valv.Piti]

Jonas had a minute more

That is completely irrelevant if you watched the race. Why in the world are we even having this debate if we could just look up time differences?

 

[KoopaCycling]

Did Jonas ever collapse ? Pogacar did

Also time difference tell a tale. Not like Pogacar ever eased up on purpose in the tour.

Time differences mean nothing, so many factors are in play. Not only the riders strength.

You can lose 5 minutes on a stage even if you were only 20 seconds weaker.

Yes, yes, but in case of a debate they do matter since Pogacar tends to go all out in the tour, and pogacar cracked. whereas Jonas though more often defeated never fully cracked whereas he did manage to fully crack Tadej during a tour.

Obviously if we are taking the whole rivalry, pogacar wins. But a single Tour. Seems like Jonas did the most damage on inspection.
