the mythical peak ayuso will show up soon

This is exactly what I mean. He's won TONS in the last 2 years, including what, 5 or 6 TdF stages alone? It's okay to get beat sometimes. Winning the GC and 3 stages again is enough. This just feels personal and insecure. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if he won the next two stages.

He will win the next two stages

 

[Rackham]

All the tears in the world will never make me forget the Combloux ITT.

I have grown to like Vingo over this Tour. He's looked human (or as close to it as athletes at that level can look), just as Pog did when he absolutely cracked last year.
I definitely share others' disappointment with this season, which has been marred by some awful crashes. But I'm optimistic for the remainder. We still have a potentially very competitive Vuelta, not to mention the Olympics and Worlds.

Somewhere Mou is laughing his tushy off.

I think Pogacar should ride the Vuelta and win 20 GT stages this year. Maybe even win by a record gap to number two.

It's insane if he isn't going to do the vuelta this year. He looks fresh and indestructible. Who is gonna beat him? Roglic?? Someone on his own team?? Does not look remotely tired

 

[Sciatic]

If it meant a lot to him, would he have ridden the Giro first?

Seems consistent with wanting to prove his dominance and stamp his authority

 

[TrekCyclist]

dude numbers dont lie he just rode vs a hurt pogacar nothing else everything is relative. He produced the best numbers he has ever done on stage 15 and got a smackdown this isnt hard its very easy to stuff. Numbers dont lie.

If Pogi can improve by some ridiculous percentge compared to '20, '21, '22 and '23 - why shouldnt other riders as Vingo be able to do the same,? Or are you implying that Pogi is doing something "different" than all othe rirders this year?

 

[fbjim]

i think it is clear that the winner of this race, if he had not crashed, would have been big primoz roglic

 

[red_flanders]

Van Garderen pretty butthurt in the post race.

It's insane if he isn't going to do the vuelta this year. He looks fresh and indestructible. Who is gonna beat him? Roglic?? Someone on his own team?? Does not look remotely tired

Perhaps he wants to make sure he doesn’t destroy himself

Remco has improved a lot.

 

[Rob5091]

no, it's exciting in a hulk hogan ripping his shirt off at the republican national convention kinda way!!

Pro wrestling on wheels, phew!

 

[Potomac]

Interesting to see Carlos Rodriguez finish behind Gee in this stage!

The great white northern peril!

 

[JosefK]

Unbeatable.

Great photo! My eyeglasses are also a bit off. When I first read your caption, I thought it said, "Unbearable." lol

 

[Rollthedice]

If Vingegaard is at 100% Pogacar mustve been last year as well, injury came at the same time except Vinges was vastly more severe.
Your logic is idiotic, you have seen no numbers only going by the word of a man who just lost a stage after going all out.

Fact is the team believed in Vinge, they must've seen the numbers in training and asses he can beat the Pog. It turned out to be a complete humiliation.

 

[iBanesto]

Pogacar just said letting the breakaway go in tomorrow's stage.

 

[SHAD0W93]

Why is Pogi bothering to attack, bored?

Embarrass Visma as often as he can, like Ineos at the Giro.

 

[RobertCrawley]

Tejay is criticizing Tadej for winning the stage and not allowing others (Americans) some glory. I'm sorry. If people don't like him winning, then they have to beat him.

This is sport.

 

[postmanhat]

if he wins tomorrow i'm going to really lose my ***.

The only reason he won't is because he's starting to think of the Olympics, or maybe working for team-mates. Like normal riders sometimes do on The Champs, but with two GC days remaining.

Van Garderen pretty butthurt in the post race.

We need real cycling commentators. Merckx and Hinault just *** their pants at Teejays feelings.

 

[Ilmaestro99]

Cycling is dead and gianeti has killed it.

 

[madthebad]

2 minutes and 26 seconds behind at the moment.

2 more minutes tomorrow and then a TT masterclass on Sunday. Totally doable.

Maybe he does not want to destroy himself? Maybe shot at Vuelta is already agreed with other GC leader in UAE? Anyway he said that it is 99% that he won't do it this year.
