Allan Peiper - "I have no doubt that Tadej Pogacar will win the Tour this year"
CyclingFriday, 14 July 2023 at 13:30
So far at the 2023 Tour de France, the fight for the Maillot Jaune between Tadej Pogacar and Jonas Vingegaard has been a tight, back-and-forth contest. With just 17 seconds between the pair heading into a potentially decisive stage 13, Allan Peiper is confident in Pogacar's chances.
A long-term mentor of the UAE Team Emirates leader, Peiper believes the current position Pogacar holds, just 17 seconds off the race lead is the perfect place to be at this stage in the race. "UAE has been riding quietly for the last few days. They have learned from their mistakes. I think that's an intelligent approach," the Australian notes. "So I have no doubt that Pogacar will win the Tour this year. He is currently only a few seconds behind, which is a perfect position. In addition, he has also explored the time trial very closely and Primoz Roglic is not there this year."
Both Peiper and Pogacar still maintain contact with each other despite the fact the former no longer works for UAE Team Emirates. Whilst the race is on however, Peiper is refraining from giving any advice or notes to the Slovenian.
!I don't call Pogacar. He has enough on his ears there in the Tour. But if I feel or think I want to share something, I send a message," he tells HLN. "He is friendly to everyone and always walks with a smile on his face. That, and his way of racing, make him popular. It may not always be smart, but the fans really like it."

- I think you overestimate scientific knowledge and for sure the spreading of it. There are huge numbers of people in similar situations, if there were an easy solution somebody would be making big money out of it. Nerve pain can have many complex origins or be due to complex combinations of reasons. Even if you discover a reason there is not always a solution. Migraines haven’t been solved either. I have had lower back/hip nerve pains on and off for over 30 years, no kind of doctor has ever found a way to reduce, prevent or solve the problem. It may just be that some people are born with nerves that are too short or get twisted out of position during certain movements.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
- Amazing ride by her and very promising for her future. On a side note, it’s a bit worrying all these wins riders have after emotional moments in their lives, someone will come up with emotional doping at some point. Maybe give them fake news just before a big race to get hormones pumping.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
