We compare the careers of Pogacar and Vingegaard before Tour de France 2023: You will be surprised by the data!
Cycling
Despite the fact that Jonas Vingegaard is 2 years older than Tadej Pogacar, both began their pro careers in 2019, the season in which both obtained their first victories as professionals. The Dane won the 2022 Tour de France and the Slovenian the previous two, so we are talking about the two best cyclists on the planet right now.
Comparing their races to date, however, the UAE Team Emirates man has far superior numbers in all respects. Both have been in the elite for 5 seasons in which Pogacar has achieved a total of 60 wins compared to Vingegaard's 23.
And it is that Pogacar's career has been like a meteorite from the beginning and, taking into account the points of his colleagues from ProCyclingStats, he has accumulated to date a whopping 4814 points in his career only in general compared to Vingegaard's 2916.

In the classics, the Slovenian's advantage over the Dane is even more beastly: 3,975 compared to 320. Another fact that draws our attention is that Pogacar has traveled 51,899 kilometers in his career to date, well ahead of Vingegaard's 43,799.
Thus, Vingegaard's great successes come from the 2022 Tour de France: since then he has accumulated a partial victory in the French round, 2 stages and the generals of Itzulia and Dauphiné.
Pogacar, at 24 years old, destroys those numbers: 2 wins in the overall Tour, 9 stages, 2 Tirreno Adriatico, Paris-Nice, Fleche Wallonne, Amstel Gold Race and the Liège-Bastogne-Liège and Lombardy monuments (2), among many other victories.
These, of course, are just numbers that speak to both riders' careers to this day. We don't imagine Vingegaard being as multidisciplinary as Pogacar, but we also don't imagine that Pogacar will have an easy time overtaking Vingegaard on the Tour if he continues to ride so many classics in Spring. Much to enjoy these two colossi in the future and in the present from July 1 in the 2023 Tour de France.

- So far, a good series about riders before my time, even if the text feels AI generated like so much on this site. About the rider, he seems like one of many who are active fan favorites but don’t survive in the stories of cycling, a few decades later - I didn’t really know anything about him and this was a good read, thank you!RidesHills15-11-2026
- A calm, honest documentary, a bit of hagiography but mostly not too much. When he talks about a coffee shop, it aligns with several things in his world - he might want calm, but he does (more than a little bit) have someone near him (his fiancee) who makes sure that things happen the way he expects. Many atheletes have retired only to find out just how much others were taking care of their lives for them. If they work out (I'm old, things happen), I am sure it will take a renegotiation, which is a good thing. I truly enjoyed watching it, seeing him, seeing her, seeing the whole system built around him.RidesHills15-11-2026
- You do? My mother grew up around Bleiburg (Pliberk), across the border in Austria . My grandparents lived close to the train station in Bleiburg, and I spent a lot of the 70s and 80s there. The "Jugo" train of my youth went to Dravograd or Maribor, exotic places (behind the wall) at the time. What a moment that was, the 10 days war of '91 - times sure have changed.RidesHills15-11-2026

- b.s. headline. Jonas wasn't told anything, it is just a pundit telling him what to do. the actual article is not even close to the insinuation of the headline.mij15-11-2026
- I think Roglic could have beaten Sepp. not Jonas. I was referring to Sepp.mij15-11-2026
- I'm deeply sick of this guy and his unwillingness to race seriously for more than a month or two. I'll never respect riders who do that. Seixas will be stronger than him next season, and maybe Del Toro as well. I don't even think he'll finish on the podium at any GT where Pogi, Seixas, and Del Toro are racing.megasmacky15-11-2026
- Not a chance in hell.megasmacky15-11-2026
- If you go watch some races from last season other riders that have never caught Jonas...are now catching him. Some are just riding away from him and he can't hold the wheelmd197514-11-2026
