It's about building back confidence. Tell yourself that Jonas can't get better than this. That it was because Roglic's help Vinge could bring him back, etc. Create a positive narrative. Probably smart.

I dont think any human can beat now in a GT at Vibgegaard of Pogacar in they are peaking... I dont mean for instance Vuelta las year...Vibgegaard wanst peaking (but anyway he could have won)
And I dont think any human can beat stronger at the classic than Pogacar, Remco or Van der Poel if they are peaking....I say stronger becouse at San Remo and Roubaix luck factor is important.
Van Aert coudl be beated for humans in all those cases, but not normal, and he is so good in al terrains (if he is at good shape, no like now) that he belong to extraterrestrial...

This is the battle of extraterrestrials (Pogi, Vingo) vs the best humans (Rogla, Remco). The planet's future is at stake - so much depends on the latter duo!

Vingegaard did yesterday a long defensive range.
He is learning some things with Roglic.

There is no way Vinge is 99% of the form towards which his spring trajectory pointed in case he did not crash.
If he was, the implication is that the consistency of training stimulus is not that important after all. Most coaches, riders of all abilities plus scholars in their sober moments swear by its key role. I'm not bold enough to challenge that idea, but maybe someone is.
Anyway, I'm lost. Between Pog and JV, who was it that is supposedly afraid of whom?

Funny how there was no obviously clinic related talk of aliens/mutants when Pogacar was the clear favorite, and suddenly after yesterday the forum is full of it. I wonder why

The greatest intellectual of the peleton (Teddy) says that legs always decide. He usually solves his problems by simply adding more watts! Once in a while it gets a bit tricky though (and it has something to do with a certain Dane).

Why clinic? I dont belive at any clinic, today. Not at least at the woprld Tour ans less with this riders. They are just very good. Extraterrestrial is a way to talk of this five super talanted riders.

they should both be afraid of each other as the only credible threat to each other's dominance.

vingo will have to crack pogi from the front to take the lead
Pog, if he and his team rides with brains. Team LAB burned some matches today so I have bit of a hard time seeing them being able to put real pressure on Pog. Pog should avoid attacking from far out unless he detects Vinge is having a bad day, otherwise it might come back and bite him in the ass like on stage 11.

Can we definitively assign which types of climbs favor each rider. I keep hearing and reading diametrically opposite takes on this

If Vingegaard gains time, climb suits him and not Pogacar. If Pogacar gains time the climb suits him but not Vingegaard.
We will see how Vingegaard does being the one that has to initiate the moves while having a weak team. If he’s still on the upwards trajectory and Pogacar’s talk of being better in the long climbs was just that, Vinge should start clawing back time slowly but surely. If it wasn’t talk Pogacar probably wins overall by around 2 minutes.
Forever it was <20 min climbs for Pogacar but ever since Mary Blanque last year that’s been a bit unpredictable. 40 min + still Vingegaard.

I don't think Visma burned some matches for today.
Visma is already making the Pyrenees hard and make the race hard there, by doing what they did today, plus the fact stage 11 and yesterday's stage were quite hard.
It's like a long process.
