Steep climbs rarely produce big gaps

 

[Jumbo Visma Fan :)]

Vingegaard can’t feel horrible after todays stage.

We've got a race!

 

[Boehmand]

Pogacar will win this tour. Vingegaard had his one hit wonder tour, but Pogacar has shown he can win more than once already.

Everyone said the same this time last year

 

[ChewbaccaDefense]

When your best is not quite enough...yellow still with Jonas

 

[ppanther92]

Next watt bomb probably by those two.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Career best climbing performance from Pidcock.

 

[DrSahl]

More like 10, so no, not as predicted - but nice try

Yep I was sure it would have been more, but Vingegaard did not explode.

Vingegaard with 18 secounds more than Pogacar, that wont last. This will be the picture of the last part of the tour

 

[Finn84]

Eight seconds between them.

 

[Elos Anjos]

Hmm, sour tears from Pogi haters.

 

[RobertCrawley]

Pidders!!!

 

[ppanther92]

Best climbing performance by Pidcock?

 

[Peyroteo94]

What I know? Great Pogi!!! You are cooking him in his terrain! OMG, can't wait for a rainy day

 

[ChewbaccaDefense]

As predicted.
Pogacar will eat Vingegaard today by 28 secounds.

...<cough>...

Vingegaard didn’t lose a lot of time on what generally suits Pogi more, short steep stuff. The only time it hasn’t was stage 5. So far I would put Jonas as the favorite.

 

[Boehmand]

'Pogacar can't do gradients over 8%'
'Pogacar can't handle the heat'
'Pogacar can't do difficult climbs'

Only 1 of those are correct (heat).

The other two are:

"Climbs above 1800 metres"
"Week 3"

Hindley literally eating Pidcock's dust

 

[wheresmybrakes]

Wonder what the time limit is, 3 hours?

 

[madthebad]

Jesus Christ, Gaudu and Pinot 😂

Lol Pogi’s terrain is steep stuff lol. It also doesn’t look conductive for a rainy day soon.

David Gaudu time loss enthusiast checking in.

Not a giant gap really and I'd have said that today is a stage that suits Pogacar more than Vingegaard.
