I agree, and for the record nobody is on Pogis level yet. But, back to your original comment. Paul is very good and very young. He very well could be the future. However, Remco was treated like this and he has been good but not amazing. As well as making some very odd excuses for not doing well. Most riders say they had a bad day and hope tomorrow is better. Remco says something that sounds like he went to chatGPT and said make an excuse based on a car an boat and my seat. Not as bad as Jonas is with excuses but closing in. Let's hope Paul can win and lose with dignity20-04-2026 17:11

I like Paul and feel he could very well be the future. However, until we see some GT results and an ongoing face control like we have so far...let's not say he will win a GT. Let's say he should IF he can get better and keep up his learning18-04-2026 18:16

So let's see what the article says is Jonas is great UNLESS Pogi is there. At which time he will be making excuses and his wife will make remarks to the press that he can blame for not winning. Sounds like a plan06-04-2026 17:50

Pogi should win this if his crash doesn't have any effect. It didn't in the sprint for the win, so I think he is fine. Remco is the only one I think who has a shot at him. MVP is amazing, but I think he will not be able to stay with Pogi or Remco if they jump and go with say 30k or more left04-04-2026 18:11

I'd rather watch Pogačar win every race he entered than listen to excuses like Jonas has been putting out. Remco, good rider but not yet on that elite level of climbers. At times, yes he complains too much. Here is the thing, when Lance won his 7, not many people were just launching into could of/should have/might have reasons they lost. Jan accepted it and just said "He was better over the 3 weeks". Nobody made up excuses in the media for him (Jonas wife) or called out team members.04-04-2026 05:19

Oh I know all about it. Visma is also a team that leaves no surprises to its riders. They probably did at the very least 1 full day of recon on each flat stage and maybe more on climbing stages as well as decent. Seeing he also claims he did his own recon...he should have known if a pebble was out of place on the side of the road. This is PRO cycling not once a year 5mil rides. What he really should have said is: I am not the top rider anymore Pogi has surpassed the ability I have. My crash was caused by me trying to relive my glory years. Lastly, my wife made some remarks to the media, and to be honest I said them. She just was who the press talked to. I caused a big problem on the team bus with the remarks. I also owe one of the hardest working and vest riders in the world Van Art a huge apology for calling him out in said remarks. I honestly use to like Jonas, but now I am starting to think that he thought he was better than the sport. Going as far as to blame the race organization for a fall and then "his wife" calls out his teammate during the TDF. If I was Van Art I would have sat up and not helped him at all after that. Or, maybe help another rider instead. I don't think Visma would have said much. After all, they are trying to sign Del Torro or Sexlis...for what? GC03-04-2026 05:07

It is starting to sound like his wife's article remarks where also shared by Jonas. He said last week that he didn't do as well as he wanted at the tour last year due to his fall. And had he not fallen it would have been different and nobody truly knew how bad the fall was. Now, complaining about weather. Just say the weather wasn't good for you, but you gave it your best. And about the fall, just say my run up to the race was sub par due to my crash. I was just not 100% yet. Instead he is starting to sound like he is making excuses for anything and everything. Not a good look for a tur winner.15-03-2026 03:51

This article should be titled what it really is: Pogi is a freak of nature and here's why14-03-2026 19:18

Already Jonas has shown his now inability to climb for 3 weeks strong. At the TDF last year the only reason he stayed near Pogi was because Pogi was sick the last week. Yet he still couldn't catch him. I betting he finishes off the podium if everyone shows up in good to great form10-03-2026 04:25

Paul Seixas can out perform Jonas right now. Not even a question. Jonas Vingegaard will be lucky to be on the podium in Paris. I don’t know if it was his crash, his wife's remarks or he is just declining at 29. I have watched every single race he has been in since turning pro. And at one point he was very good, not great but very good. He used his brain and abilities to the top of the sport. Now, if you look at the riding, many times he looks unsure of things, his ability to accelerate is not close to riders like Pogi, Lipowitz, Del Torro and other riders. He is not the best rider on his team. I have been hearing that he will be co-leader at the TDF. I don’t know who option "B" or "1B" is. But that says a lot. Paul Seixas is probably the best to challenge Pogi in the next few years. And if he leaves UAE, Del Torro as well.10-03-2026 00:48
