I thought Roglic would win the TT but still 5th is not a choke. Pogacar just rode out of his mind. This win for Pogacar is exponentially more impressive than Bernal’s last year. No team, racing against maybe as good of a team as we’ve seen. Just unbelievable.

"Take time when you can." I mean, as a GC rider you should have that tattooed on your forehead or something.
If Roglic learns from this to become more aggressive, I'll become his fan too.

Probably did not watch as he knew what was coming. Did not Gigs always say Roglic was overrated...
much more complete.
rode against much tougher competition.
and with a much weaker team.
bernal, dumo, rog, etc... they are now looking at "how can they win the big one?" from here on out.
only remco (as yet not proven) -- should he return to full strength, may have a shot and it could be a wonderful duel for years to come...

This is just a low rent version of 2011. The moral of the story is the same, but we didn't get back to back epic stages leading into the TT.

Porte's received his fair share of mockery as a GT rider (from myself included and at times justified) but man, it feels kind of emotional to finally see him on the podium of the Tour on his last outing as a leader.

He also said Pogacar was overrated like Mas before him.Probably did not watch as he knew what was coming. Did not Gigs always say Roglic was overrated...

Since UAE have no team here to defend yellow, it's a pity for the viewers that there are no stages left.

Dunno... Somewhere around Dumoulin, Porte, and Van Aert would be according to my expectations for both Slovenians.

And somehow, whether or not that was a valid strategy became a cause for argument on the forum two weeks ago.

Pogacar was learning from Jumbo's tactics on the Peyresourde. He didn't want to take yellow too early.

What an incredible turnaround.
I feel sorry for Roglic, for Jumbo, for all the work they did before and during the Tour. But Pogacar is a phenomenon and of course a deserving winner.

Without "medical" help, younger riders always gonna have better recovery... In the past, it was always "clouded" by the **** use
100% agree.
this is why the success of young (even very young) riders in the last few years, is something to truly enjoy, i believe.

I feel sorry for Roglic. He was probably just following team orders, trusting that they had all the numbers worked out. But, at the same time, it's great to see a team who tried to suffocate the race fall at the final hurdle.

I questioned Trek bringing 4 big classics riders, to me it signalled they didn’t believe in Mollema and Porte.
But the way those 4 guys have kept Porte totally trouble free, it has certainly proven the right strategy.

Superman dropped like a stone. Now that was a horrific tt.
Even if Primoz had ridden better than Dumoulin, Van Aert, Porte, he still would have lost overall by a large margin. Pogacar just rode an unbelievable tt. Almost no one thought this was even possible.

Pogacar was unbelievable today, no one could have predicted that, but Roglic's third week TT record isn't so amazing you'd say 57 seconds was definitely safe.
Jumbo Visma took a risk in riding defensively, and it backfired spectacularly.

The young guys also have a wider margin to facilitate recovery.Without "medical" help, younger riders always gonna have better recovery... In the past, it was always "clouded" by the **** use

Superman must be ecstatic the GC race was so tight here otherwise this would go down in the same annals of history as Rasmussen's.
