People getting AWFULLY excited about Pogs margin a few days in.
Remember last year when he looked absolutely imperious?
Not saying he's gonna crack, but I AM saying it's the Tour and it's not over yet
I'm firmly in the camp that the Stage 7 TT will tell us a lot. If Jonas throws down a scorcher we're in for a good race.
Maybe it's copium, but I like to think Jonas will ride into form. He only lost 9 seconds on the climb. I think the descent losses were partly post-crash hesitancy.
I don't think Jonas is out by any means, but I think barring a crash, Tadej is unstoppable. This brings me no pleasure as I think both riders are kind of boring. I want there to be upsets and surprises galore. But I think he was so pissed about his performance last year that he's hell bent.
Wait did you just say
Tadej Pogacar
The most spicy GC rider in cycling history
Is boring??
The kid that made “NO RAGRETS” into a lifestyle choice that somehow, inexplicably worked out??
I assume by boring you simply mean domination. Because Tadej is so fun to watch! Always attacking, etc. When they go head-to-head it's truly a treat because otherwise they have no one who is their equal.
Hahaha this is on point.
I like him too and I've never found him boring either. The guy races with heart and isn't afraid to take risks.
We are lucky to have them BOTH at the same time.
I think Jonas is probably the best “week 3” guy ever and one of the best climbers of all time.
Tadej has somehow turned “so anyway I started blasting” into the most dominant careers in cycling history.
We are truly blessed
