Marianne Vos over the moon with Tour de France Femmes second stage victory - "This is just a beautiful day. I really can't describe it, I really don't have any words right now"
Cycling
Jumbo-Visma rider Marianne Vos secured her first stage victory in Tour de France Femmes. Vos beat Silvia Persico, Katarzyna Niewiadoma, and Elisa Longo Borghini in the sprint to secure her victory.
Yesterday she lost against Lorena Wiebes and finished second, but today, she was not going to repeat the same mistake. "This is not revenge for yesterday, this is just a beautiful day. I really can't describe it, I really don't have any words right now," said Vos.
She maintained the lead throughout the stage. She joined Elisa Balsamo and Elisa Longo Borghini to create a 30-second lead over the peloton, which the group held till the finish.
"We had to be sharp and focused today. We knew it was going to be narrow after the passage, and on top of that, the wind played a role. Elisa went ahead after the intermediate sprint, but I did not expect that we could stay in front," Vos explained.
She also overtook Wiebes in GC ranking with her victory, and tomorrow she will start the stage with yellow jersey. "Yesterday the team did a perfect lead-out to the sprint. Today, it was a perfect lead-out to the final. Today we went for the stage win, but the fact that we can also start in yellow tomorrow. That is extra nice," concluded Vos.

- disagreed. in this year's tdf he was unable to ride away from the young guns in the stages before his crash. there were several riders at least close to, if not on, his level in the second week: seixas, remco, del toro, lipo. next year jonas is a year older and the younger riders gained a year of experience and strength. if you then try to skip part of the high altitude training ... i doubt that jonas will make the podium at tdf 27. for sure he is not the favourite for runner up. he will be in the mix, yes. but not THE favourite for 2nd place.Ketterechts15-11-2026
- That means you're Austrian, like Arnold Schwarzenegger. He was born close to Gradc, very close to Maribor. We used to do a lot of shopping in Gradc in the 70's and 80's, when Slovenia was still a part of communist Yugoslavia. Today we have good relationships with the Austrians. Many Slovenians are working there.PogiSloFans15-11-2026
- headline criticism agreed. but otherwise he certainly has a point. you can negotiate extra perks if you are way above he rest ... however, these times have long gone ...Ketterechts15-11-2026
- WTF is Pogi's hater Zonneveld talking about??? He was against Pogi waving to Slovenian fans from an organisation car as fans caught a glimpse of Pogi at the European Championships in Slovenia. The S.O.B. couldn't resist poking fun at his attention-grabbing appearance. What Zonneveld says has no relevance.PogiSloFans15-11-2026

- The greatest ever is a crazy claim. But in discussions about sport in our local media, among people with no particular interest in cycling, he has been the first person they've thought of when giving examples of exceptional athletes.Hills3315-11-2026

- Raise thine hand if the money you have made for retirement slips away on poor investments.Most of us will outlive our financial comforts because we don't have the financial acumen to ensure a comfortable lifelong retirement and that is a statistical fact not my opinion.Many millionaires have pissed their money away or had it taken away by so called conniving "financial advisors".The world of wealth is a dangerous place that most of us will never experience nor appreciate.
Brucegel15-11-2026 - You are interested in Pogi for one reason only, you feel like you are somehow related because you share some vague geographical identity. Other than that you have very little interest in cycling as all your posts show, if it can’t be connected to Pogi you have nothing to post. That said, recent activity here shows we are attracting quite a crowd from his region.Jumpyjohn15-11-2026
- From knowing past cycling stars with shops I can only say, think it through. Not only is it mundane after a while but it really doesn’t take you out of the limelight, in the end you’ll be trying to stay away from the place yourself whilst all your fans keep coming for you.Jumpyjohn15-11-2026
