"I really don't understand why Vingegaard lets his team ride all day long with a Pogacar that is comfortable in its wheel" - Lance Armstrong

Tactics have been a big topic of debate so far in this year's Tour de France, last afternoon into Cauterets Jumbo-Visma have attempted to put in a massive blow in the competition but came up short as Tadej Pogacar took full advantage of that work.

“We're talking about Pogacar here. He is one of the best riders ever. He never gives up and always knows how to strike back. If you are Vingegaard then you shouldn't do anything," Lance Armstrong said in 'The Move'. "I really don't understand why Vingegaard lets his team ride all day long with a Pogacar that is comfortable in its wheel."

The long distance attack of Vingegaard was swiftly responded to by the Slovenian, however there were good chances that wasn't to be the case after Pogacar was dropped the day before dramatically in the Col de Marie Blanque. Jumbo-Visma pushed a hard pace all the way into the line but the Dane was unable to drop his rival, instead the opposite happened in the more explosive final climb. “There is no excuse for riding so fast with Pogacar on your wheel. Vingegaard doesn't even ask to take over once."

"Vingegaard completely relies on the information from the support vehicle and doesn't even look back at Pogacar to check how he feels and whether he is sweating, for example. If you are still in the lead, you have to make sure you do it at eighty percent. Because if someone of the caliber of Pogacar attacks, you can go with him."
