Tadej Pogacar and Jonas Vingegaard have faced off for the first time since the 2024 Tour de France at this Criterium du Dauphiné. Whilst Jonas Vingegaard gave a better impression in the opening days of the race, in the first mountain battle, the World Champion has exploded all of his rivals on the Côte de Domancy.
Whilst in the penultimate climb of the day Visma had plenty riders and put Pogacar under pressure, the roles reversed on the final climb. Without the pure climbers, UAE used it's puncheurs to set a nuclear pace up the first kilometer of the climb, just as they did at Milano-Sanremo. Jhonatan Narváez and Tim Wellens set an incredible pace, and Pogacar attacked with over 7 kilometers to go to drop Vingegaard in his wake - whilst Remco Evenepoel and company had previously been dropped.
You can see the attack in the video below:

- I'm exploring shorter cranks even in MTB because of limited hip mobility due to how my hips are. I haven't ridden them yet, but my experience with 170 over 175 is that 170 is a lot more comfortable in a low position. I bet that going even shorter is going to be really beneficial for me.JoshuaCharter26-06-2025

- yeah... and they've cooked up a whole complot/conspiracy story, including mafia, like something out of a 1940s movies, to make him look like a saint... Being Italian can be exhausting sometimes. I'm tired.
maria2024202426-06-2025 - Perhaps the only option to beat Tadej would be if Visma had two guys who can win the GC, forcing him to chase down both. Or if a couple other teams' GC guys team up with Jonas.Ride197426-06-2025
