"The Tour is definitely something different from all the other races" - says Jai Hindley after his Grande Boucle debut
CyclingSunday, 02 July 2023 at 07:00
Jai Hindley successfully concluded the first stage of Tour de France in the group of favourites which crossed the line 12 and 8 seconds behind Adam and Simon Yates respectively. More important for Hindley however was the fact that the Australian lost no time to Tadej Pogacar and Jonas Vingegaard, his greatest rivals in the GC.
"It was already a really hard first day. The boys did a great job to keep me out of trouble the whole day and I appreciate that. On the penultimate climb the pace was already really high. The Tour is definitely something different from all the other races," said Hindley after the stage.
"On the last climb it was full gas. I was just off the first guys and waited for the chasing group because Jumbo had some numbers there and we all regrouped quite fast. I just had to follow the wheels, and I’m happy with the result and my shape. A top ten at my first ever Tour de France stage is not too bad, I think," Hindley concludes.

- What this article doesn't mention is the influence of Vingegaards wife (25 tour), whereas Pogs gf doesn't seem to be like so, tho she is a cyclist and knows the scene. When JV won his tours his interviews where certainly not extrovert, very, 'we done the job and that's it, Pogs certainly more verbally animated and it's his personality on the cycle too. JV's had to follow the last few tours, tho if he can get calm & his wife don't pipe up then I think he can do a good ride..

ChillingCyclist10-01-2026 - I'm a big fan, and I'd really like to see him do well. But, I would also like to see him retire at the end of 2026.JoeyB10-01-2026
- Jonas has a completely different personality than Pogi. Pogi can handle the pressure on all terrains. Pogi also loves his peace and quiet. And by the way, you can have your Casio watch. I will take several of the Richard Mille watches. Pogi is charismatic and humble, and always thanks his teammates for everything they sacrifice for him. Jonas probably does the same, but is much more private. Both are great, great riders, and I can't wait for The Tour De France this year! We are going over for two weeks. Go Pogi!
