- Considering both beat Quintana's record, Gall did a performance of his life. Now whether he can repeat is the question, that too in the third week.
- Exactly. Out of this world and unbelievable.
- You win the internet for the day?
- Surprised you can type as much as you type seeing as how your always holding on to some Pogacar dildo
- I am wondering if VISMA is planning to win the Giro but without burying Jonas. So that the Giro really becomes a build for TDF. What do you all think?
- Pogi is not primitive. He's a very intelligent, talented and brave rider. A true gentleman and a great person, always showing good sportsmanship. A great role model and inspiration.
You should study his personal characteristics and try to learn from that. You are still young. You can still change.
- I don't think anyone really understands you. Or cares.
- I hear BS about how Vingegaard was in controle mode the last 3-4km.
Yes, that is "true," just like the Pope is not Catholic.
Vinny 🐟 and Visma have an incredible PR machine. It is certain that they belong to this modern Western Europe, and they are not like these "primitive" Balkans where Pogi and I come from.
- Do you all understand now why Vingegaard avoids Pogacar and Seixas all the time except for the Tour, because he has to be there.
They would destroy him in the spring, that's why he runs away from them and builds his confidence against amateurs. The day must come when the cycling schedule will look like F1.
- I don't think he's that good at the moment. But better than he's showing.
I expect him to get a lot better for July. I also expect him to take a lot more than 13 seconds on Gall in the TT. After that he can just defend his lead if he wants to. I do however think he would like to win a couple more stages, so I think he will keep taking time on Gall in the mountains. And that will be more than enough. Maybe he will win overall with 5 minutes to Gall in second place. So not going all out on blockhaus might be a wise decision.
Riding conservatively today also keeps him out of the Maglia Rosa and he can save his team a bit longer. I don't think he wants the jersey before stage 14. Maybe even later than that. Saving the team was also a priority in the Vuelta, as it is when they ride in the back of the peloton on sprint stages.
Visma knows exactly what they are doing. And I don't think that predictions based on todays stage are very useful.
Having said this, I still consider Pogacar the big favourite for the tour.
