- For every stage he loses time, he says it did not suit him.abstractengineer31-05-2025
- You do know you aren't allowed "teammates" on the TT, right? he lost 1.5 minutes there. Then the next day he didn't run out of teammates, he just ran out of gas. Yates and Majka headed up the road to salvage something for UAEmobk31-05-2025
- Jonas, along with Mathieu will be remembered as some of the very few that took on the great Pogaçar when some people argued it wasn’t possible.Jumpyjohn31-05-2025
- Yep, one year out of sync.Jumpyjohn31-05-2025
- He was dominant in the 2020 Tour, shepherded by a dominant team. Pogacar stayed close. No one could have predicted how a superstar could emerge in that final time trial.
Barney31-05-2025 - The question is, why was he weak? The answer, he was following all the moves himself, quite a few times because he was isolated with no teammates. If he has teammates deeper into the stages, he doesn't need to cover attacks. If he doesn't have to cover attacks, he won't crack. This is all simple stuff, especially for folks who actually watch all the stages.Chazz2031-05-2025
- This is easy math. Tadej races more single day races. Discrepancy solved.Chazz2031-05-2025
- Gravels not hard to ride - let the bike ride itself, 'keep balance etc..
leedorney30-05-2025 - If Tadej has just one or two days of weakness like 22 or 23 Jonas could still winmobk30-05-2025
- The boring guy who "only rides the TdF" has just as many race days as Tadej over the last 4.5 years (230 vs 235) despite having far more serious injury. In Jonas's biggest year of racing he raced 68 days, a total Tadej has never reached. So while Tadej is clearly the superior all round rider, the criticism that Jonas only does the Tour is ridiculous.mobk30-05-2025
Always wondered what that black stripe is doing in the rainbow jersey. Riders dying in the line of duty? 'Cos unfortunately, they sometimes do.. What a sport!
At least one of the five colours appears on the flag of every country in the world. Hence, those five colours for a World Champion.
