Pogacar vs Vingegaard in a training ride? Tour de France rivals currently preparing in Sierra Nevada

As the Giro d'Italia 2025 unfolds, the favorites to win the Tour de France 2025, Jonas Vingegaard and Tadej Pogacar, are currently training...in the exact same location.
Yes, that's right, both riders are currently taking part in an altitude camp in Sierra Nevada. In a video from a Spanish fan, you can see Pogacar flying up a 6% ramp. Such is his speed that it looks like he is descending, which acts as a reminder to fans just how talented these riders are. Vingegaard was also caught on camera, in this case with a Visma teammate, this one with a more sustained pace on a steeper ramp.
Last year's podium finisher, Remco Evenepoel, was also spotted in Belgium training a few days ago with an almost 70 kilometer training ride. There has been a lot of talk about his relatively quiet Tour de Romandie, but we must remember that he is still building up his fitness after his crash last December.
The other favorite in contention, Primoz Roglic, has a different preparation idea. Like Tadej Pogacar did last year, he is racing the Giro d'Italia, although he has made it clear that his big goal for the year is the Tour. Who will arrive in better shape? Let us know in the comments, and enjoy the videos of Pogi and Vingo training below:

- it will be interesting to see his results when he steps into the bigger races. 19 wins, but so many in the fall in mid level races. still the mid races need to be won to step up to the biggies.mij09-01-2026
- Looks like his poor health just stomped on the rear mech of his cycling career.Onepiece09-01-2026
- she is so good. even her results from 2025, which were “bad”, would be a career year for most riders. and consider at MSR, for example, her teammate won - perhaps Lotte could have won it. wishing her the best for 2026!mij09-01-2026
- bummer - he was fun to watch and was young. had a lot left in him.mij09-01-2026
- What a fairytale day! Everything fell into place.mhfrvz09-01-2026
- Not sure you can say that someone as talented and successful as him has had bad luck, but between coming along right after the two titans and now this, his is a career cut short. Perhaps he can transition to a different role in the sport, but in any case I wish him well.MidnightRider08-01-2026
- I doubt it. This blows a hole in their ranks.mobk08-01-2026
- For a while there, Eli was the best of the rest in cyclocross behind Mathieu and Wout. It must be tough to be forced to retire early due to medical issues, but good health trumps everything else. I wish him the best in his future endeavors.
santiagobenites08-01-2026 - however you frame it, it seems that they asked more from Ayuso (who obviously did not deliver the needed support) than they are asking from del Torro ... who - according to this quote - just needs to show up and can then ride however he likes.Ketterechts08-01-2026
- I agree that Ayuso was wrong in doing what he did at the tour, but we don't know everything behind the feud unless they all say honestly what went wrong. If he us such a rat and traitor, which it's a bit harsh, then what is to be said about Soler when he was with Movistar and didn't want to ride for Mas? I was disappointed, yes, but realize riders also have goals, and right now, UAE is all about their golden boy.Colnago-fan08-01-2026
