44th was the worst result of Tadej Pogacar at the 2024 Tour de France - Which riders were the closest to him?
CyclingMonday, 22 July 2024 at 13:37
Tadej Pogacar has won the overall classification, six stages and a lot more during the Tour de France. However the UAE Team Emirates rider did not only succeed in the major achievements, but even on some of the smallest. The Slovenian's worst result in the 2024 race was a 44th spot and that was the best out of all riders.
Pogacar effectively finished well positioned in every stage, including the sprint stages - a few of which, because of crashes, had the times neutralized which meant the overall classification riders did not even need to finish close to the front to remain safe. The GC riders understandably finished among the highest but Remco Evenepoel was only fourth and Jonas Vingegaard sixth. Instead, Derek Gee was second with 59th being his worst, whilst Guillaume Martin never finished below 63rd. Romain Grégoire is the only non-GC rider to have been included on the Top10 of this list.
Best worst result at the 2024 Tour de France:
| Order | Riders | Worst Result |
| 1 | POGAČAR Tadej | 44 |
| 2 | GEE Derek | 59 |
| 3 | MARTIN Guillaume | 63 |
| 4 | EVENEPOEL Remco | 68 |
| 5 | JORGENSON Matteo | 76 |
| 6 | VINGEGAARD Jonas | 80 |
| 7 | RODRÍGUEZ Carlos | 83 |
| 8 | BUITRAGO Santiago | 84 |
| 9 | CICCONE Giulio | 85 |
| 10 | GRÉGOIRE Romain | 89 |

- If Valentino Rossi could never win during his period of dominance, and massive personality, then Pogacar not winning isn't a massive surprise. Cycling isn't a Premier League global sport......only one event reaches the mainstream every year - and that's not good enough.wipperman9519-12-2024
- I don't think it's only a British thing; the biggest talents aren't usually drawn to CX. Where are all the top Italian, French, Spanish, Slovenian CX riders? Apart from Belgium, and Netherlands, it's not really a target for up and coming cyclists - as there's no career unless you move to Belgium. Other countries can't support a proper professional series, like an international sport should be able to do. Lets not forget, since 2016, British riders have won plenty of World championships; with Pidcock, Richards, Tulett & Backstedt all winning more than one..... And, there was a time when Belgium didn't rule the roost in CX; that was Switzerland, but since the advent of XC MTB, their top off-road talents race there instead of CX - and the 2nd raters not good enough for XC MTB, race CX.wipperman9519-12-2024
- "25-34 are only 13% of USA Cyclings membership" Wow. I own a bike shop, and that number comports both with what I see in the business as well as on the road and trails, but it's somehow hugely demoralizing to see it quantified. Thirteen percent?verve82519-12-2024

- Pick better parents and/or better doping agents.
ChoppyWarburton18-12-2024 - The bike industry situation is the same as the future Dutch talent pool discussion , it’s a fakely perceived problem due to an exceptional period that’s come to an end.Mistermaumau18-12-2024
- It's all a part of the fun. Sometimes it takes a few races before you can tell who's who and what's going on.
santiagobenites18-12-2024 - Every year cycling teams force their fans to memorize the jersey colors of all the teams so you can tell which team is doing what in a race. Not like normal sports where the jersey's and numbers mostly stay the same year after year.Sweep18-12-2024
