- Visma's tactics in this tour have been bizarre, JV's wife has lost her husband this tour, he can really motor but for some reason puts out a press interview slighting him. Visma have rode as strongly as they can but weirdly too... They've 1 stage win and that's all.
- Today is the 1st stage Jonas took away some seconds from pogi 😂
- Kopecky should be supported by her team to win this one. Not be on domestique duties for Wiebes.
- I think he simply wanted to make Jonas work and he was willing to let the stage win slip away in that cause
- Pogi is tired and over Visma's wierd tactics. they talk about fighting till the death and then ride at ridiculous speeds at illogical times and then Jonas just sits in Pogi's wheel all day.
Also the man has ALREADY Won 2 RvV, LbL Fleche Wallone and Strade Bianche, Podiumed at MsR, Amstel and P-R, Won GC, Points 3 stages and KOM at Dauphine, GC Points and 2 stages at UAE Tour and of course, 4 stages and very likely GC and KOM at the TdF...
.... In the last 6 months!!
This is a whole career for an exceptionally talented rider, and this is just a random Spring and summer for Tadej. The man is probably BONE tired and even his infections enthusiasm has its limits when Jonas rides like a coward by wheelsucking then sprinting in the last 100m.
And with full respect to Politt, Wellens, Soler and Narvarez, it absolutely does not help when The Boss is missing a prime, in-form Almeida, Ayuso or Del Toro to give him a hand when the music REALLY starts on these brutal mountains...
And they are saying he is going to the Vuelta.... Most people could never...
I am actually really happy to see Grumpy Tadej, as this gives me confidence that he is in fact- Human like the rest of us...
Enjoy the last 2 days...
- RE will be the same rider at RedBull, cept he'll be there. He's got psychological issues with Jonas V & Tadej P. Like WvA did with M vd Poel, whenever they raced together, usually against', it'd go MvdP's way. RE is a 1 dayer short stage race rider not a GT contender, unless the Dr is better at RedBull...
- Holy crap! That was ridiculous.
- It was his own actions, the video shows clearly. Its called cheating, plain and simple, there are no excuses.
- I hope not. The slovenian way is not normal at all, and very boring. I hope instead wada find out.
- he needs whatever solution pogacar found between 2023 and 2024, when he came back UNBEATABLE by van der poel in classics like flanders AND unbeatable in the grand tours. in 2023 cycling looked like it was in the midst of an absolute Golden Age of high level competitiveness, but by just the nest season pogacar got so much better that the competition was all but over. what was left was van der poel in races like roubaix and MSR. as i’ve said, i think next year pog will up his level again somehow and close the door on mathieu ever winning those races again.
