- Kind of unfair and biased, most agree Jonas is showing a form of strength he didn’t have before, doing well in stages and situations not previously suited to him? Why do people feel they need to give him stick for speaking about his feeling when that’s basically all we ever ask or expect from pre/post race interviews because there’s little else to discuss?
You don’t like the guy but you’re egging him on to beat Tadej in what is defined as a team sport. If it’s not a team sport but you want to match up two individuals, then let them both do the Tour completely alone as time trials and we’ll see who is best. I’m pretty sure Tadej doesn’t ride half as well if he doesn’t have someone to chase or attack.
- Hallelujah, someone has said it! "I'm insanely strong" etc etc but the only thing Jonas does is try to follow the wheel of Tadej when he attacks and always turning his head looking back like where are my rescuers?! Grow some balls, Jonas, then we will see who is the strongest!
- Who thought Visma would be this much stronger than UAE?
- Well Tadej had no trouble winning stage 7 of the Dauphine last month with 3 HC climbs, basically a carbon copy of stage 18's profile so...
- so did Tadej attack to get rid of Jonas, or get rid of Jonas’ teammates? I think the latter. this is Tadej’s preferred method of riding. don’t end up on the final climb outnumbered, and then it is one on one. and since there is still so much racing, just get it down to even terms and cruise to the end.
- I know, VC even said as much. he said they did nothing as Tadej was always there and able to respond. we’ll see.
- agreed. this is not Jonas preferred terrain. how will Tadej hold up on 3 long climbs on stage 18? that is where Jonas can shine.
- Can you link that? Also, as a U23 Pogi was shown to have a great ability to shed latic acid at a very fast rate. Allowing him to go harder for longer than most.
- Hasn't worked this year. Pogi is only going after a serious threat. Even then, depends how serious he thinks it is. Remco went and Pogi didn't do anything. He only went 1 time on stage 10...to see what Jonas would do. And then he sat up. Visma needs a plan they haven't used in the past
- Jonas doesn't have the motor to beat Pogi. And if he keeps playing games Remco is looking good and very well could end up 2nd and Jonas won't even be top 3.
