But…Jonas wasn’t there. And now UAE has two riders on the podium, both the Yellow and White jerseys, and Pogacar helped his good friend. Pogi’s teammates love him for good reason: he enjoys helping them succeed as well.25-07-2026 18:41

lol what are you talking about? It’s like you have no grasp of cycling tactics at all.17-07-2026 20:38

Pogi is to my mind the GOAT, no doubt. But even to him, his team matters. The lead outs he gets are absolutely unmatched by any other team. He’s basically in an armchair until he attacks, stage after stage. He gets to save a ton of energy.17-07-2026 06:48

What's UAE supposed to do? Let others win? Not only would that be completely condescending, but the idea even that that's an "unwritten rule" strikes me as silly. The reason leaders and their teams have historically let breakaways go has never been about "giving" anything, it's always been tactical - either giving the team rest, or even perhaps letting someone else deal with the leader's jersey for a time. But Pogi is just that talented and UAE is deep enough that they can go for stage wins much more than teams have historically been able to. I certainly think it's worth having a conversation around salary caps and floors for racing teams. Anyone with eyes can see that the super-teams have significant advantages over teams with more limited budgets. But that's a systemic problem. In the current system, UAE can dominate...anything less would be patronizing to the other teams.16-07-2026 19:58

To be honest, this is at least where I expected Pogi to be relative to the field, based on the parcours of the tour so far. I was actually surprised that he didn't take more time in Stages 2 and 4. If Jonas was ever going to challenge Pogi in GC, it was going to be late in week 3. His only hope has been that somehow he's more durable, that he recovers from the heat better, and that he can out-diesel Pogi in stages 19 and 20. I think it's unlikely, but I do think he still has a small chance.13-07-2026 20:01

I was expecting bigger gaps both yesterday and today for sure. The stage profiles seemed ideal for Pogi to take serious time, I am surprised to see Jonas right there.06-07-2026 17:40

Tadej has always been an excellent teammate, very supportive. He does seem to have a special connection with IdT, more personal somehow. It’s fun to watch.06-07-2026 05:15

Pogi is all class, on and off the bike. There are a lot of guys in the peloton who are both absolute beasts of competitors, but also thoughtful and respectful. Such a great time to be a cycling fan!03-07-2026 16:50

You’re a bleating Pogi fanboi who personally attacks other riders. Capiche?02-07-2026 02:59
