Jonas doesn't have the mental ability this year. He knows head to head Pogi beats him 99.9% of the time this year. Plus, his wife made the remarks she did. And if you feel that didn't get into his head (and the teams) think again. The DS of Visma seems to have written Jonas off after the TT. Sending nobody back to help him was a slap in the face. Had Jonas lost time it likely would have cost Visma a podium spot. To hear Pogi telling everyone to slow and wait for Jonas was both respectful as well as all but saying "HEY Visma... Your leader needs help what are you doing going full gas trying to get into a break". Still, nobody really seemed to want to go help. Sad, Jonas won't be the #1 TDF option for Visma after this year. They will sign or hand it over to Jorgensen most likely22-07-2025 04:55

Arensman is a very good rider and it would not shock me if he finished 2nd in GC. I just think that Visma is trying to hard to break Pogačar and it hasn't worked. Problem now is they have all that effort in their legs. So, after the 2nd rest day I see them faltering in the big climbs.21-07-2025 21:19

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.15-07-2025 05:01

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 past15-07-2025 04:55

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 3.15-07-2025 04:50

With Redbull he has a shot at the Tour. They have Roglic as a co captain, and a group of climbers. And would put them in position to help Remco unlike the team members with him now (that includes 2 riders who are sprint spealized), meaning on a climb he is down 2 team mates to start. And with the budget they have, they can lock in even more talent I'm sure. Sodal just doesn't have the ability to help him right now. Not a really good team or help currently07-07-2025 17:47

He won't win the TDF unless Pogi messes up somehow. Pogačar didn't have a team when Vingo beat him. Now, the teams are near even and head to head Pogačar is just a better rider03-07-2025 04:54

Guy is a great classic rider, if he concentrated on a GT only I think he could win one. However, he would have to be all in to try. I like him great rider03-07-2025 04:50

To win of top 3, he needs support. A d according to the roster, they are taking a sprinter and lead out man. So, come time to climb, Remco is down 2 team members for support. To win a race like the TDF you need skill, luck (illness and falls), directions from the team and more than anything a team built to be your support on flat and then climbs. Not be out manned before you even see a climb03-07-2025 04:44

He is ill in some way. He said his family also had something. But, even a little bug can derail a training plan and worse a race. 2 times He has been sick in short spans of time. If I am remembering correctly, a race has to do a blood test if a rider is ill. The reason is COVID-19, the UCI doesn't want a break out during a huge race01-07-2025 23:59
