Vinge could have won this had he gone with 2 k's to go. Pogi looking a bit underwhelming today..

 

[GroupDK]

Beautiful heart from Vingegaard, and some will to spice it up.. I had hoped he would get the stage, but Pogacar is such a complete rider.

 

[postmanhat]

Uran decent here. He will arrive being top 10 on GC in Paris, I reckon.

Uran was there? His powers of invisibilty are astonishing.

 

[ppanther92]

E: took it to the clinic

 

[topt]

Does that mean he dopes up to the same degree? lol

not again this guy, i mean when will he get a ban like the rest of us ? Go back to your feeding ground, the clinic

Roglic hasn’t had that level the entire year though.

What level? He won P-N and Dauphine.

 

[Warhawk]

Oof, Pogi needs work on his high-five technique.

 

[frisenfruitig]

I think that might actually be right, today. I was surprised Pogi looked almost human. A healthy Roglic on this type of finish would normally be 10 seconds or so ahead of Vingo.

How can you know that for certain? Hardly anyone knew what Vingegaard was capable of before last year. This year he looks at least as strong as Roglic

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Nairo almost a minute down...

It's not February

 

[Valv.Piti]

Props to Vingegaard for tryimg something, but as a big Kämna fan I'm a bit salty.
Powless limited his losses rather well impressive.
What was Jumbo doing by not using Kuss to make the stage harder for Jonas? Trying to beat Ineos for the team classification Movistar style?

I think they were a bit afraid of Pogi. Now, Jonas showed hes just as strong which means they can launch Sepp to actually destroy the race and utilize Rogla at some point as well in the high mountains. The promises from this one climb is immense, Jumbo will have a completely different mindset after their two leaders somewhat surprised today - Rogla not feeling his injuries and Vingegaard contesting Pogi on this finish.

Im stoked!

 

[T-Nielsen]

I can very much assure you that Wade Boggs Chris Froome is not dead.

He is late to the finish though.

 

[FrontHeadlock]

Props to Vingegaard for tryimg something, but as a big Kämna fan I'm a bit salty.

Same. But even if Kämna were to lose, I'd at least want him to lose to someone like Vingegaard who would get his first stage win.

Pog winning another stage is tiresome and disappointing.

 

[VayaVayaVaya]

Roglic hasn’t had that level the entire year though.

Despite coming in undercooked, Roglic put 30 seconds into Vingegaard in the ITT and 12 seconds into him in a similar punchy finish in stage 7 in the Dauphine just last month.

 

[noob]

Jonas himself said earlier today that this was not a stage for him. But still he fought!

 

[Elos Anjos]

Here we are, discussing details on an absolutely dominant back to back performance in the hopes of having a slightly different outcome.

 

[Ripper]

Vinge could have won this had he gone with 2 k's to go. Pogi looking a bit underwhelming today..

pog is still more than 30s in the lead though

Just when I had drunk the Pogi Koolaid! ...

Roglic to attack on CdF on the Alpe stage with either Laporte or Wout in the breakaway, make it happen!
Yeah, things look really good for Jonas before the high mountains and Roglic deserves tons of respect!

 

[postmanhat]

Not too shabby from Pidcock given his season/illness. Give it a couple of years when he's done with the Olympics and he could be a GC rider.

 

[Elos Anjos]

Here we are, discussing details on an absolutly dominant back to back performance in the hopes of having a slightly differet outcome.

 

[sir fly]

Such a shame for Lenny.
Great effort.

Good signs for the rest of the race.
Pogačar is superb, of course, we've already known that. But his team doesn't quite match, and Vinegar almost beat him on his preferred terrain.
G excellent.
Plenty of lieutenants, even domestiques, stronger than the entire UAE team but Pogačar.

Promising.

 

[Peyroteo94]

Incredible finish indeed, but this climb is still a lot better without this last km. I think thats what people dislike the most? At least that goes for me. Even though it was spectacular today for sure, but its just a stalling game.

People who said Roglic needed to quit and focus on La Vuelta - nope! Jumbo Visma is up for the task this year. Come the Alps, I wouldnt be surprised to see Vingegaard stronger than Pogi!

Keep dreaming fella.

 

[Potomac]

No gap is enough!

 

[Red Rick]

Pog can't even put 15s into the entire 5 dudes on the hard version of this climb than a certain aquatic animal did an even number of years ago

 

[RobertCrawley]

I would say as dominant Pogacar is so far, its not completely over. He is also burning a lot of energy while Vingegaard rides so more hidden. That might be an advantage.

Completely agree. I hope Rog tries to get in a breakaway on a mountain stage and spices things up.
