Nah theyre saying it unironically everywhere

Huh. That IS weird, lol.

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

If both are healthy, the 2025 TdF will be thermonuclear. The motos will need upgrades to keep up.

 

[No Excuses]

Lance will absolutely complain because he would‘ve gifted this. Could have left it to Jonas, but I guess that doesn‘t fit into his mentality.

Lance's generosity didn't have boundaries

Bad day for Remco. Carapaz must be sick of seeing Pogacar arrive in the last km or so. Good ride by Vingegaard. Landa and Almeida ate up the break's lead pretty quickly..

Carapaz has to be happy with this tour. Yellow jersey for a day and stage win already

 

[AmRacer]

Yesterday, Jonas played dead and made Remco believe in second. Well done.

 

[Poursuivant]

Pogacar should have pushed Carapaz to the line and let him win - Van Garderen probably

 

[Tim Cahill]

Adam Yates been mucking about taking it easy for the past 3 weeks apart from that one stage where everyone got cross with him and still comes 6th.

 

[Netserk]

You can ask. You don't always get them. In this case, Tadej did pull for Jonas for a bit.

I found the ask in this particular situation undignified.

And showing the Olympic selectors who is who.

 

[AmRacer]

And polka dot.

 

[jono]

" they forced him to win" is the most sycophantic, disingenouous narrative you could conjure up

How would you put it? What would you have wanted him to do on the final climb that would be more respectful?

 

[Slavique Nuke]

Jonas might win tomorrow.

Pog said he's taking it easy tomorrow, so there's a good chance

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Teejay is one annoying MF.
Vandevelde is pretty much the only one offering any intelligent commentary.

 

[movingtarget]

Plus the KOM.

 

[iBanesto]

Incoming LA rant.

 

[AmRacer]

Pog said he's taking it easy tomorrow, so there's a good chance

Cannot risk a crash

 

[Kazistuta]

Not sure what Pogacar can do to make people happy in that situation. He and his team showed all day they were happy letting the break win. But Soudal set it up for him, Jonas dropped Remco, and then why should he gift Jonas?

Why should he not?

 

[Samamba]

EF gets way more publicity out of this than just getting 5th. In a different Tour with a less dominant Pogacar or nog QS on the last stage he wins even more stages.

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Why should he not?

Because this is a bicycle race, and Vingo doesn't need gifts.

 

[iBanesto]

Why should he not?

Pogacar and UAE don't like Visma/Jumbo.

 

[jono]

Why should he not?

Vingegaard is a 2-time defending tour champ. He doesn't need pity wins, and wouldn't want such either.

 

[Poursuivant]

That Danish flag falling as Pog crossed the line was symbolic

 

[AnotherArmChair]

"If you told me this before the Tour I would not believe this"

Jonas "was very strong"

"The yellow jersey was enough "
"Tomorrow is just come safely to Nice "

Ahhh c'mon
