@ostehaps69 @Domestique___ It doesn’t matter, he was just nowhere near his tdf level in vuelta

@sean24252 @Domestique___ He was both heavier and sick in the Vuelta. That’s why he was worse than in the Tour.

🇩🇰 Jonas Vingegaard's level improves slightly in a second Grand Tour of the year, according to 🇳🇱 Visma's 🇳🇱 Marc Reef 🗣️ "Last year, when Jonas did the Tour and the Vuelta, we saw that his level was improving slightly in the second Grand Tour, so that was an extra reason to go for it this year." 📰 domestiquecycling.com/en/news/hes-st… 📸 Cor Vos

@LanterneRougeYT @friebos Technically u are right that they should stop relaying with him to maximize their chance of winning but sport is also about entertainment. Atletico Madrid can win laliga & champions league by playing defensive but won’t have many fans celebrating it, at least the neutral ones.

@friebos Pog has the highest threshold & durability of all the riders. In a fresher state, MVDP can follow him on Kwaremont, Seixas on Redoute & Pidcock Sante Marie. When they relay and increase total fatigue for themselves it makes it more likely they are dropped later. For 2nd its fine

Sometimes I wish someone wouldn’t work with Pogačar just so people could see what this supposedly ingenious tactical ploy would actually achieve. Suspect the clamour would die down pretty quickly.

@Ibra_cadabraFC @faustocoppi60 @ProCyclingStats The difference is whether pog waits them or not it won’t make a difference in the result where as this desperate mortals will always try to take advantage of his bad luck

@faustocoppi60 @ProCyclingStats They’re all pussies in the first group because in Tour de France last year after a fall Pogacar was in the first group and he waited for the other favourites and now the first peloton didn’t wait for him and Seixas shame on them

Damn already one minute between Remco and Pogi's pelotons. The split happened after a crash. Tadej is gonna be angry, they didn't wait... 📸 @ProCyclingStats #LBL

@Na1chaca @BenjiNaesen 🤣

Pogacar clearly needs to ride Giro and Vuelta. He obviously has a genuine (>20%) chance to win all three Grand Tours and all five monuments in one year if he tries, which would be the second greatest sporting feat of all time. This is also the last time he will have this chance.

@ImCalledPikachu Knock the wood🤞

i feel her ❤️ this race is beautiful, iconic but at the same time the most dangerous one..

@InsideOut2912 Let’s put it into context, vanderpoel isn’t a naive person he was referring about mainly roubaix where the two going alone Mano a mano increases his chance of winning the race so might as well do his pulls in flanders in the hope pogacar does the same in roubaix.

@festinaboy Pogacar is the greatest of all time. He is blessed by God & isn’t going away until he breaks the french tdf record

Depuis le début de saison les chutes suivi d'abandons des coureurs UAE restent le bon moyen de les battre. A quand la chute de POGACAR ? Dimanche à ROUBAIX ? Le nombre de personnes qui prient pour que cela arrive est indécent. Je suis sûr que vous en faites partie.

@Zeldam_ @Na1chaca No he did altitude

Paul Seixas (Blue) and Jonas Vingegaard (Red) Performances this year by aSLP and Date. #Itzulia

@Na1chaca A little bit better than vingegaard petrano, sangiacomo i guess

#Itzulia, Stage 2 🇫🇷 PAUL SEIXAS San Miguel de Aralar (9,39km; 8,00%; 751m) 24'56min 22,60km/h 1807 VAM 6,77ᵉw/kg 638 aSLP CLIMBING RECORD

@LucGrefte No but he will win multiple Tour de France

Could Seixas win all five monuments

It seems tadej is carrying some fluid in his left knee, probably from the sanremo crash

@lucasaganronald It’s realistic but extremely difficult against vdp

THE CHAMPION 👑 4 monument wins in a row, no one has achieved that before; winning Sanremo and Ronde in one season, only Merckx has done that; and equaling the Ronde van Vlaanderen record with 3 wins. How realistic is it for him to win all five monuments in one season? 📷: @RondeVlaanderen

@InsideOut2912 This is remcos big chance to at least be on podium. It was a question mark from everyone if he would finish the race unscathed when he announced his participation

Why are Bora and van der Poel rotating with Pogačar and Vermeersch? 😭 #RVV26

@BenjiNaesen How can this be a race incident? It’s the organizations basic fault

The rules are clear, the breakaway receives the gap they were given by the train crossing, as it's considered a race incident. #RVV26

@Dikdikdikkat @InsideOut2912 Pogacar was a further 20 secs behind vdps group in the chase phase after the crash & had to start the cipressa last in the peleton yet still beat him fair & square.

@sean24252 @InsideOut2912 He get dropped on Poggio because the crash made the race harder for everyone except Pidcock, which favors Taken. We don't know what would happen without the crash but Tadej was lucky that MvdP was involved too

Ik it won’t happen, but there’s just no way van der Poel should give Pogačar even a single pull at RVV 🤷🏻‍♂️ He should never stick his nose in the wind, "just" sit on Tadej’s wheel and back himself in a sprint (even if a group comes back, he should still trust his sprint) 🤔#RVV26

@InsideOut2912 His cda is a problem plus gannas raw watts excel his imo.

@sean24252 I agree, that's why he has never performed there, but imo MVDP could be a class TT rider if he would focus a bit in it

Ganna, without Tour of Flanders in his legs, is one of the four riders who can win Paris–Roubaix outright 🤷🏻‍♂️ Like Pedersen, he has the watts but also that same tendency to destroy his bikes on the cobbles 😬

@Domestique___ Well, part of it is also because you’re not as talented as him
