"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."

- Look at what Froome’s won since his last TdF, stop denying there is still more than possible one outcome to the future.Mistermaumau21-12-2024

- Exactly. Remco won 3 WT races/stages last year compared to Pogocar's 19. Remco's single stage win in last years TdF earned him a meager 12 seconds over Pogocar who shellac'd him by 9 minutes in GC.Sweep21-12-2024
- Fortunately and as you point out, more than one strategy is possible and worth trying and I’m sure all concerned riders are well informed and counselled on this subject and don’t need such basic personal advice through media from an outsider.Mistermaumau21-12-2024
- The main SPOTY award is "decided" by public vote but the BBC "expert panel" decide who you can choose from, that choice has an equal split of genders and is focussed on the sports BBC show and a disabled athlete. Oh yea the ubiquitous "Pub Games" candidate there too, Darts and Snooker are not sports. The other awards are decided by the "Expert Panel" again it's about the sports BBC show, cycling has had it. Cav got his for his years and achievements in the sport, not just that 35th TDF win. Unless the BBC get access to Pro Cycling it will never feature "adequately" on SPOTYslappers6621-12-2024

- Avoiding him is a good strategy, you get more wins and then you can compete in the TDF relatively relaxed. Pit yourself against Pogi and not only there will be no wins, it will be considerable mental setbackabstractengineer21-12-2024
