Juan Pedro López, on whether Pogacar or Vingegaard will win the Tour de France: "Betis will win it"

Juanpe López, Lidl-Trek rider, is known for being a great soccer fan and an unconditional fan of Real Betis Balompié. The cyclist from Lebrija takes every opportunity he has to talk about his favorite team and yesterday he did not waste the opportunity after the eleventh stage of the Tour de France.
Cadena Cope colleague Alberto Arauz asked him at the finish line who he thought was going to win the Tour de France, if Tadej Pogacar or Jonas Vingegaard, and López did not hesitate to say "Betis". Funny way of not getting wet about the winner of the Grande Boucle. On his feelings in his first days at the Tour, the Lidl-Trek rider said that they have not been the best, but he hopes to improve them in the coming days: "I have not been able to find the good feelings, but we will have more days".

- i mean, duh, the ONLY reason for pidcock to be at Q36.5 is freedom and autonomy. vande velde has kind of an art for the obvious. but as far as the “you should do what van der poel did” advice goes, well, I’LL state the obvious: doing what mathieu did KINDA depends on being ABLE to do what mathieu did. if it didn’t then yeah, that would really be some terrific advice.OCexile16-12-2024
- Jan is super inteligent and classy rider and probably “smoothest pedaler” in pelaton. Quickstep screwed his career with getting his kilos too much down…vanja16-12-2024
- And your comment is stupid! It's a free market to go where they want. They share a home country so why not ride together.frieders315-12-2024

- that’s the long and short of it, right? i remember reading a story last year on Velonews about eli, right after mathieu came back then. iserbyt said “every year i’ve truly believed that THIS would be the year my efforts finally allow me to challenge van der poel, but the time comes when you have to admit that fairy tales are just fairy tales…” SOUL CRUSHING, right? all these guys who just happened to be in their prime right when the strongest, most dominant cx racer of all time is in his. way it goes. that’s the nature of individual sports. every once in a while fortune serves up ONE person who is not only vastly more gifted, but also singularly driven to win. watching this champions is thrilling most of the time, but i can also feel for the men and women who have dedicated their lives to their sport only to do battle with someone they really can’t hope to defeat.OCexile15-12-2024
- Right. Scanning ahead, situational awareness, in order to be proactive.JBBriggs15-12-2024
- And if all these other guys would have full time cycling jobs all year round, they’d be less critical about who rides when. Not their fault cycling is split into so many different disciplines to allow some less good riders a chance to win once in a while on their preferred terrain.Mistermaumau15-12-2024
