Off the top of my head, he crashed while in the yellow jersey in the first Tour he won. Benoot brought him back to the bunch (which didn't wait for him, btw).

"Pogi's fault". Some of those who posted this will eventually disappear today and not post anymore. Even the rider admitted his own fault.

He's being bombarded with hate from people who are incapable of even considering the idea that Pogacar might done something wrong... He's not the expert here. He's the wrong person to ask.

This has nothing to do with Pogacar. Do you remember Maciejuk in RVV 2023? He also got threatened and nothing happened. These are just stupid fans (cowards) who love to write bad things on Internet.

People who send threatening stuff to THJ and to athletes in general are sociopaths.
He made a mistake, apologized, sometimes racing happens like this. Pog seems little worse for the wear, I say we move on.

With hindsight it makes the peloton's "full gas" attack after the bunch crash in Slovenia on the cobbles in the Giro all the more remarkable - especially from Visma.
That one was even more notable because a whole load of riders hit the deck. No one waited.

It seems that most riders started moving to the right after Pog had already fallen, to be fair.
At any rate, both things can be true at once: perhaps Pog wasn't paying enough attention, and might've been able to avoid the crash, but Johanssen's move coming from behind and swerving abruptly wasn't the easiest to predict.

I gotta call out the absolutely class, hockey-style body check against the barriers for the idiot at the finish.

I just love the extra oomph the security guy put into it. Super leg drive, great forearm technique. Way to finish.
Respect.

Hail to you man. I don't know if you are being sarcastic but I will believe you are not and say, this is why I like you, you are honest.

When the pack moves, you move with, and you expect everyone else to do the same. If professional cyclists couldn't trust each other to do that, road racing wouldn't exist. And while it is true that THJ's move was too abrupt that only happened because Pogacar had seemingly forgotten there was still a race on.

That‘s the difference between all GC riders and no stage win vs. Sprinters and needing to catch the breakaway for the sprinters. Olav Kooij and Kaden Groves can‘t wait for riders they‘re not even racing directly if it means losing a chance at a stage.

Not condoning the treatment of Maciejuk, but there's a difference between one of the most stupid and dangerous moves I've ever seen a rider make and a racing incident. If the latter is now a guarantee of abuse and threats if Pogacar is negatively impacted then no rider is safe.

I cannot even describe how much I hate this online fan culture bs.
I don't think it even matters if it is his fault or Tadej's. Yes these mistakes can be costly but they are, at worse, mistakes. These sociopaths threatening him, and other athletes in similar situations, are much worse than the most reckless of the riders.

No, he got threatened because he crashed the whole peloton in a really horrific manner - while attempting a move that happens constantly and is never punished if nothing goes wrong even though it is always against the rules. Two different ways in which random people can act like unhinged psychos.

This is the point. There will always be stupid people threatening riders regardless the rider they took down.
We had a wonderful stage of full gas racing and probably the best stage so far of the TDF. This seems to be forgotten in the last few pages of this thread.
First you blamed Pogacar for the accident, and now you blame what four anonymous people are saying on social media 😩
Pogacar has accepted the apology. There's nothing further to discuss.
The only thing I disagree with is that this action doesn't warrant a yellow card. In a sprint finish it would, and it's more punishable than Coquard's action.

I'm available...I'm sure there is a small team of highly untalented gravel cyclists, who need someone to yell at them.
