"Some people win even when they don't want to" - Mikel Landa reacts to more Tour de France domination from Tadej Pogacar

Mikel Landa put in another great performance on the 20th and penultimate stage of the 2024 Tour de France, working in the service of teammate Remco Evenepoel as Soudal - Quick-Step attempted to put the pressure on Jonas Vingegaard in the fight for 2nd place.
In the end, Tadej Pogacar and Vingegaard proved far stronger than the Soudal - Quick-Step leader on the final climb. Landa, for his part, was unable to gain time on Joao Almeida in the fight for 4th place in the general classification either unfortunately for the Basque rider.
"Remco wanted to try and we did, but Jonas is very strong. We wanted to try, we were very motivated, starting with Remco and the team, after yesterday. I don't regret working for him, I have no regrets. Some people win even when they don't want to," said the Basque rider after the finish, referring to Pogacar's fifth stage win in this dominant Tour de France for the Slovenian.
Landa crossed the finish line in eighth place, 1:41 behind the day's winner Pogacar. In the general classification standings, with only the final time trial to go, he is still fifth but is now 40 seconds behind Joao Almeida, who is better than him in the fight against the clock. However, he has enough margin with respect to the sixth, who is Adam Yates, so he will presumably close the Top 5.

- "25-34 are only 13% of USA Cyclings membership" Wow. I own a bike shop, and that number comports both with what I see in the business as well as on the road and trails, but it's somehow hugely demoralizing to see it quantified. Thirteen percent?verve82519-12-2024
