"Jonas Vingegaard and Tadej Pogacar just looked at each other" - Carlos Rodriguez recounts incredible Tour de France stage win in 2023
CyclingThursday, 15 February 2024 at 11:01
One of the most impressive riders of the 2023 Tour de France, Carlos Rodriguez announced him as a potential Grand Tour winner of the future on stage 14 where he stunned Tadej Pogacar and Jonas Vingegaard to win the day.
"The Tour de France is the race I always wanted to do, the one I was always watching on TV," the INEOS Grenadiers star recently said on the podcast of his teammate, Geraint Thomas. "To be able to be there and especially winning a stage was incredible."
With Tadej Pogacar and Jonas Vingegaard seemingly heading towards a two-up sprint, Rodriguez got back into contact on the descent towards the line and flew past both of the Tour de France champions. "The stage victory in Morzine, was really incredible. Vingegaard and Pogacar looked at each other and I was able to survive on the flat along after the descent."
Finally, Rodriguez shared a kind word for his teammate-turned-podcast host, Thomas. "He is an example to many," he says of the Welshman. "He has been at the top for so long and never gives up. Just look at the last Giro d'Italia."

- Almeida’s is up in 2027 when he’ll be 28. Let the bidding begin.Mistermaumau28-05-2025
- You were wondering how come MVDP is rated higher by whoever and the way JM refers to a website. Obviously they’re all somehow ranking which means attributing a score to performance. As I said, no idea how but one reason he may be ranked higher is if more than just wins are counted. Like at the Olympics, some rank by gold, some prefer considering all medals, usually in order for a preferred country/athlete to look better. At some moment, in order to rank more than wins, every ranking or algorithm has to attribute points or value to different positions in order to tally and compare.Mistermaumau28-05-2025
- If you’re really young, your body doesn’t even remember what you did to it the day before ;-)Mistermaumau28-05-2025
- The good thing about being young is that you recover faster than older people after a good night sleep and in the interview he said he had the best sleep after a rough day yesterday.
KerisVroom28-05-2025 - I don't know where you are referring to "points," given that I was looking at wins in different categories (overall, monuments, world tour) and trying to make different comparisons to illustrate my point. Could you clarify?RidesHills28-05-2025
- His contract is until 2028. Isaac's contract is until 2029 and will be revised if he can keep the GC podium. Like it or not, it will be very hard for other team to secure Juan Ayuso's service before the end of the contract because UAE has money and won't let go of him that easily.KerisVroom28-05-2025
- In a team where Pogi is present, the others would be helpers was already known. Yet Ayuso, Almeida, Adam all signed up due to money. Now they cannot demand anything over Pogi. Leftovers is the best that they can get.abstractengineer28-05-2025
- How long does Ayuso have left at UAE? That might open up a slot unless Del Toro takes it.Renz28-05-2025
- That’s a rather large number of bonus seconds he earnt, is it from the 2 weeks or just today?Mistermaumau28-05-2025
- When ever will he learn, always has a excuse.
