Pogacar made some serious mistakes today. The only Jumbo rider he needed to follow was Vingegaard. Roglic is in rough shape, getting dropped. There were a lot of tactics out there today. When Van Aert dropped back to the Roglic group, he closed the gap to Vingegaard/Pogacar to under a minute so all the team cars got pulled out of the gap so Pogacar being isolated meant he didn't get food or drinks from his team car. Once Van Aert reached the front group he was going full gas and Pogacar had to jump hard to get onto the train plus Van Aert just kept drilling it to the base of the Granon so there was no opportunity to drop back to the team car for anyone. Fantastic racing!
So true caught that too! He was leisurely looking back for drinks and food then Van Aert comes flying by on the right. Van Aert is unbelievable!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yep, he made a lot of mistakes today, and not only today (lack of fueling and going after Roglic was the biggest mistake). I'm surprised that the team director was not screaming at him, "stop attacking, focus on Jonas, and chill". He is still learning, everyone needs to remember that he is two years younger than Vingegaard. He has a much weaker team, and he is still learning. He won TDF two times, once on the last TT, and the second time destroyed the race. Jumbo looks unbeatable, but I will never cross out Pogacar, and I'm really happy that he has shown that he is not a robot. Looking forward to the remaining stages! It's going to be fun :D
Correction, Bardet was not second Quintana was second. Maybe a little kudos to the little guy wouldn't hurt. He paced himself all the way up from the bottom alone!
Look at Nairo slowly moving up without all the fanfare!!!! Good for him!! Not even a comment on the show about his effort alone with no food or drink! Exciting race all around!!!!
i'm loving this video. haven't watched it all yet. but i love tadej. for 23 he is amazingly professional. and he rides like he just loves winning and riding. his answer to the press was better than anything i could have thought about and said. it is now an exciting tour!
Nobody talks about Roglic. A grand tour winner, with a real podium chance in this year's TdF. He attacks relentlessly, full sacrifice for his team mate. He is instrumental in getting Pogacar to blow up. Then he gets dropped sacrificing his own TdF. He is the rider of the day, hands down. What a guy.
@@rikkshow Pogacar wouldn't have known who was the team leader and even if Roglic isn't 100%, he's still good enough if you give him time that he could pull it out. I think even if Pogacar knew Vingegaard was the guy, he'd have to chase Roglic.
@@lamejojo Well, Roglic was pretty far back on time. But, in the heat of the moment it is hard to know what's best. Pogo probably overestimated his legs and ate too little during the stage. Good stage non the less.
Quintana was favorite to watch that last 10km. Asked for water twice once from the car and also from Barguil so the heat was definitely a huge issue and he looked good up till the line regardless.
Holy shit what a stage! What a Tour de France so far! Cyclingnuts Denmark is going crazy with the Tour-start and now 2 stage wins in a row and flipping yellow jersey! This was cycling excellence, all the Jumbo Visma digs on Galibier was just so well planned, they put on a show today. With 5k to go it was "hammertime" from Vingegaard! My god what a race!
My heart was pounding out of my chest watching those last 5-6 km. A dane in yellow. Ive watched the tdf throughout my whole life, and i remember the hype of other danish achievements, but nothing compares to this. Leaving the fact that im danish behind, making me incredible subjective in terms of being extra hyped up; this was an amazing stage!!! From 60 km to go up until the end, it was just fantastic! So many riders really RIDING today. One for the history books this one!
Love this format, best stage analysis by the best that ever raced. Get some of the old team back to join in please. The stories from your 7 Tour wins; how you raced, your tactics, your experiences, is the special sauce that makes this the best cycling gonzo journalism out there.
I wouldn't be surprised if it was Primož Roglič idea, If he said "look guys I got a bad back and arm, I want to help, but it has to be early in the stage because later I'm mince meat, So let's just go for it like it was the 1960s".
There was nothing wrong with Pogacar. He spent an insane amount of energy chasing down Roglic & Jonas and than dropped everyone but Jonas on Galibier. Having no team has its price at some point.
@@Miiifywayyy it was definitely not…roglic had a massive part to play in it by attacking Pogacar at the bottom of the Galibier the whole time. Eventuality all those efforts for Pogacar adds up
@@cesc1495 I think you kind of forget that, when roglic attacks and Pogacar counters... Vingegaard has to counter Pogacar as well. and do that effort to sprint to his wheel. just as pogacar sprints to Roglic his wheel. Its not like Vingegaard is just being brought back to Pogacar's wheel.
Absolutely. Pogacar is the strongest rider in the peloton but jumbo’s team is stronger by a long way. If UAE don’t win this year a lot of money will become available in transfer season.
Even Quintana was asking for water when he was briefly in the lead up the last climb. I do believe hydration played a significant part for Pogacar. They should have used Lance's LMNT!!
I just remembered. Right at the finish line, Pogacar was drowning himself with a bottle of plain water. He wasn't downing sugary soda drinks as is very common among pros after intense efforts. Pogacar didn't bonk.
Pogi knew before the race that Vingo was a big threat and I think that's why Pogi tried to take seconds and show power on all stages to deter Vingo from attacking on stages like today..
Jumbo perfected the strategy. Attack upon attack with Pog having to case down each one. Also Vingegaard took 1-3 mins on every single top rider mens he was above and beyond everyone
Incidentally, last (and first) time Col du Granon was in the Tour de France, it was the was the last mountain on which Hinault wore the yellow jersey, as it was on that stage (17) in 1986, that Lemond took the jersey from teammate Hinault :)
As for tomorrow, I could see Roglic in the early break, as that will allow Jumbo to just sit back and let the break sail away, and eventually force DSM, UAE and Ineos to do all the work... they have to avoid Madouas, Pidcock, Mas and Lutsenko hitting the break too though... and that Vingegaard does not want to win on l'Alpe d'Huez ;)
George is right about Pogacar burning too many matches needless on previous stages. Has to take a toll. Lance by contrast was about as tactical as they come. No wasted energy. Sticking to a plan. Pogacar seems to be more like a kid in a candy store. Will see if he recovers.
I like attacking one two punch style on the flats. I feel like JV should do that again after isolating pogo on the 1st climb of the day but with WVA also throwing in digs and pacing on the flat.
I also want to add. The tour has been the hardest so far for Tadej Pogacar and Team UAE. All the injuries all the covid messed all of them up even Tadej. But Tadej will come back! Dont forget stage 20 TT!
Hautacam also looks juicy. I'm pretty sure Jumbo can try again a team raid the day like they did today, but it's not steep and long enough. More in Pogacars advantage.
Commentary on point. POD 23. Been going for everything. When has the entire TDF in him. Management meant tell him play it safe. Today hunger bonk or other POD bad day. I’m thinking he’s well coming back. Should be joint favourites in play instead 4/1 POD
I think Pog pushed hard the last few days because he knew his domestique was going out with Covid, and wanted to gain every last second before he lost him.
FYI The helicopter in danish is when a naked man moves the hips around to make the man sausage move around like the rotor blades of a helicopter. Its something every dane knows what is, and is commonly done in the showers after gym class.
UAE paid all the mistakes by pushing hard in days they didnt have to do it... at the same time, finally after many years a queen stage doesn't disappoint !!!
@Gone Awry you pointed out the biggest mistake: Pogacar was alone. You have zero chance to win attacks when you’re outnumbered. Jumbo is the stronger team. If they keep this up, Pogacar has no chance.
Say you what you want about an aging, crash-prone Thomas...the dude looked LEGIT today staying calm in the midst of that TJV vs. UAE shootout. Maybe if Kwiatko had been there to help on the Granon who knows? Surprised me. 🚲
I've noticed that lately there is not as much race analysis as there used to be. The podcast has become mainly an infomercial. I was really looking forward to this one after such an epic stage, but I did not perceive the same excitement and insights from y'all as when the TDF started or Johan is in the show.
Great show guys. I enjoy watching it every day. The Uvalde Bike deal is pretty cool, but have you considered they will need an excellent shop to keep those bikes tuned up.
Sadly you NEVER emphasized, the fact UAE and Pogajar, had only 4 team mates as Hirchi of no meaningful use. TP used a massive amount of energy covering the constant attacks and lost his team. Solair and Majka were valiant in attempt to keep their leader protected. $.02.
LA, you’re a metal guy and dont know Rammstein?? Here is some easy 101. Spieluhr & Du hast. That will get you goin. Greetings from Calgary Fire Dept in Canada!! Love the show and the great banter with you and the crew!!! Big fan.
My brother, that’s a risky bet, considering they never have been clean. I too would love to think my faves are clean, but how do you beat others who are gaining a few percent by doping?
Explainer: "The Helicopter" is rotating your male member in celebration. Some kind of Scandinavian custom. And yes! you guys need too hear "Rammstein"- worlds greatest live band.
Never forget 2020 tour de france the first time Pogi won because of the time trial he had. If Pogi gets back a few seconds i strongly believe he can beat everyone in the end stage 20 TT!
That TT ended with a clime, this year its flat , the tt is 15 km longer than last year where JV took 25 sec on Pogi. He might take 30-45 sec if all goes his way. so Pogi needs to find 1 and half min.. not a few secounds here and there
Only men can do the helicopter as they move their hips in a way that make a certain bodypart move like a rotator. This has been done long long long before breakdance.
1986,by the way, spot on for the raw emotion,damn right, it's real!!!but watch out for the stage to Mende this Saturday,it could be very much a trap stage and the last climb is suited for Pogacar but if Vingegaard has the legs of the Col du Granon,well.... we'll see but watch out for that one!!!
Another important thing to remember about "burning matches:" you only have so many matches in your "book." Once you use them all up, you're toast. Even someone with a big book like Pogacar will eventual use up his supply if he is wasteful.
It started when Tadej got attacked on the Telegraph and foolishly chased Rogolicz and Thomas instead of just sitting on Vingegaard's wheel. He was still on form at the last climb but still insisted chasing ALL of Jumbo Visma's attacks and these ultimately wore him out...when Vingegaard finally attacked, Tadej had nothing left. Very bad tactics by Podacar today, I really hope he learned something and thankfully there are many stages left where he can recover.
For the last few stages with UAE organized in good numbers, I kept thinking, "Did this team take off a whole week so that, in the Pyrenees, he'd have a team with only 2 weeks' of effort vs. teams with 3 weeks?" And for the first time, that "He looks salty" comment shows quite distinctly in black or dark shorts vs. all yellow or light. What a 'tell'.
Rammstein is one of those banda to see a show in a open stadium ,the fireworks they use is magnífico,and the música even better ,but they sing in Germán !
This was fantastic win for Jonas and for Jumbo, the attack on Col du Galibier was great, tactic was perfect, and final climb of Jonas very strong, but nothing extraordinary, 59 second on Qintana and 1:10 on Bardet, it was Pog that was off today. I couldn't believe my eyes when he pulled Jonas to the top of CdG, he pulled at least two kilometers as a locomotive, at 2000 meters above sea level! Why?! If you see that you can not make a difference, then stop the horses. At this altitude you can later pay for any excessive effort. Great racing anyway! Tomorrow Jumbo need to attack again, I agree with Lance, if Pog will lose time than Tour is over, Jumbo is far stronger than UEA if Pog is not at 100% than is nothing he can do. Black Wednesday for Slovenian fans today, not just because we saw the first complete blackout of Pogačar ever, but it is also becoming clear that Roglič is not doing well at Jumbo Visma. Today he showed satisfaction at the victory of Jonas, ironically today a new star was born, Jonas will be the center of attention from now on. He needs to go to another team if he ever wants to win the TDF, he needs a team that works for him 100%, so that he is protected. Don't forget that he started cycling very late, he doesn't have the instincts needed to ride safely , because you get this at a young age, so he needs the protection of the team. He actually never get this 100% at Jumbo, maybe in 2020 on TDF, from now on he will get much less, he has to find a new team this year!
Geraint Thomas made an interesting comment when asked if Pogacar could possibly recover for the next hideous stage. I paraphrase: “For most people, no. But he’s a top, top rider…a once a generation rider. He can come back. It is inconceivable, because of my own limitations, to imagine being strong the next day after emptying the tank so badly.
Really hard to believe that UAE cant field a better team to help support the 2X Defending TdF champion... Should have brought a satellite GC rider like Almeida and/or Ayusa.. both can climb great and TT... Ive never seen a GC rider more isolated lately than Pogicar

If Tadej calls Lance, he would recommend PR Lotion, a Ventum bike, an a good Manscape lawnmower session.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Lol....don't forget Roka eyeglass wear and to mention "The Move" for an additional 10% discount!!!
I haven't waited for a MOVE podcast more than today! What a stage! Would love to hear you guys rip it apart!
Agree
@Frankie Swimbladder1 well george Hincappie has good insight on 2022 TDF he's been there got the jerseys.
Pogacar made some serious mistakes today. The only Jumbo rider he needed to follow was Vingegaard. Roglic is in rough shape, getting dropped. There were a lot of tactics out there today.

Great analysis and spot on
WHAT A STAGE!! Pogo CRACKED like fine bone china, the tour is now LIVE and UP FOR GRABS! Best stage since the Pogo TT comeback a couple of years ago.
and before that it was the Giro Froome RAID
Correction, Bardet was not second Quintana was second. Maybe a little kudos to the little guy wouldn't hurt. He paced himself all the way up from the bottom alone!
Thank you!! They just ignored this man's effort. Go Quintana!!!
It´s already history, but I think they referred to Bardet being in second place OVERALL in the Tour de France after that stage?!?
Look at Nairo slowly moving up without all the fanfare!!!! Good for him!! Not even a comment on the show about his effort alone with no food or drink! Exciting race all around!!!!

I think they had already decided it wasn't his TdF. The directeur probably told him that he was riding for Vingegaard today.
@@lamejojo probably. But Pogo still saw him as a threat otherwise he wouldn't have chased him down everytime. Perhaps a strategic error to chase him?
@@rikkshow Pogacar wouldn't have known who was the team leader and even if Roglic isn't 100%, he's still good enough if you give him time that he could pull it out. I think even if Pogacar knew Vingegaard was the guy, he'd have to chase Roglic.

Huckberry!! Thanks for the mention. I'm loving this kinda gear.

One for the history books this one!
It was fantastic.....Tomorrow is shaping up pretty damn nice too.
People must be going crazy over there!
Man! How strong is Jumbo? They now have Primoz Roglic riding in support of their race leader! Talk about a SUPER domestique!!
Love this format, best stage analysis by the best that ever raced. Get some of the old team back to join in please. The stories from your 7 Tour wins; how you raced, your tactics, your experiences, is the special sauce that makes this the best cycling gonzo journalism out there.
Thomas, Bardet and Nairo did great today. But don't forget that Jonas put in 1:30 on all of them in just 4 k. That's incredible.
Great episode!! Loved the insights and this stage was the best I’ve ever watched did not expect Jonás to take that much time!
Good job Big G always bringing it back to cycling race talk
It was like a pack of Hyena’s (Jumbo) attacking a single Lion (Tadej)
It was a pack of lions and tigers attacking a lone wolf
@@Football0Lover and maybe that "lone wolf" mentality is what got Pogi slain today...same as MVDP.
Pogacar is about to realize you need a strong team to win the yellow jersey.
I wouldn't be surprised if it was Primož Roglič idea, If he said "look guys I got a bad back and arm, I want to help, but it has to be early in the stage because later I'm mince meat, So let's just go for it like it was the 1960s".
That emotion..... We all feel it. I remember LA and GH and Johan giving me that feeling. Thank you😭🤣🙌🇫🇷
Excellent show again guys #bossing it what a tour so far wow 😮 ✌️ from 🇮🇪 Ireland
In the last 4.6 km when Vingegaard attacked, he put 171 seconds into Pogacar, that's a average of over 37 seconds a kilometer, crazy 🤪
Today I lose 2 mins. Tomorrow I get 2 / 3 mins back. And Smiles. Great POD post stage interview. Brilliant. Very straight up. . Loving this TDF
Finally we have blood and guts racing!
Great day at the tour and Lance is excited like a little kid for the whole show.
There was nothing wrong with Pogacar. He spent an insane amount of energy chasing down Roglic & Jonas and than dropped everyone but Jonas on Galibier. Having no team has its price at some point.
It was man vs man.
Exactly!
@@Miiifywayyy it was definitely not…roglic had a massive part to play in it by attacking Pogacar at the bottom of the Galibier the whole time. Eventuality all those efforts for Pogacar adds up

Dude, stop
JUMBO w/ the wolfpack -- beautiful and brutal strategy. love it
also, think y'all need more sponsors lol
Pogi knew before the race that Vingo was a big threat and I think that's why Pogi tried to take seconds and show power on all stages to deter Vingo from attacking on stages like today..
This is precisely what Johan has been warning. Pogacur and UAE burned alot of valuable matches needlessly leading up to this stage.
Experts . . . they know this stuff better than anyone. I hope Jumbo will push TP even harder tomorrow like LA and George mentioned.
This stage shows the value of a team
I've heard Lance refer to his idea of an American team. I missed it. I'd like to hear the guys do a show on that. Love the podcast.
An American owned team is okay but trying to build an American rider only team is a bad idea.
Jumbo perfected the strategy. Attack upon attack with Pog having to case down each one. Also Vingegaard took 1-3 mins on every single top rider mens he was above and beyond everyone
I think the most important thing was getting pog out of his rhythm. Made him uncomfortable
Remember all those folks calling WvA selfish and not a team player? Pepperidge Farm remembers.
thank you what an episode!
Incidentally, last (and first) time Col du Granon was in the Tour de France, it was the was the last mountain on which Hinault wore the yellow jersey, as it was on that stage (17) in 1986, that Lemond took the jersey from teammate Hinault :)
1985,86 2 Great Tours and what a rivalry.
@@DuderinoDeux agreed.
I love how Pogačar loves riding
I doubt he loved that stage 11 though
As for tomorrow, I could see Roglic in the early break, as that will allow Jumbo to just sit back and let the break sail away, and eventually force DSM, UAE and Ineos to do all the work... they have to avoid Madouas, Pidcock, Mas and Lutsenko hitting the break too though... and that Vingegaard does not want to win on l'Alpe d'Huez ;)
Go George - have always been a fan of my favorite domestique
George is right about Pogacar burning too many matches needless on previous stages. Has to take a toll. Lance by contrast was about as tactical as they come. No wasted energy. Sticking to a plan. Pogacar seems to be more like a kid in a candy store. Will see if he recovers.
Anyone else noticed the amount of salt on Pogacars bibs? to me it was a sign he was going to bonk.
I like attacking one two punch style on the flats. I feel like JV should do that again after isolating pogo on the 1st climb of the day but with WVA also throwing in digs and pacing on the flat.
I also want to add. The tour has been the hardest so far for Tadej Pogacar and Team UAE. All the injuries all the covid messed all of them up even Tadej. But Tadej will come back! Dont forget stage 20 TT!
Hautacam also looks juicy. I'm pretty sure Jumbo can try again a team raid the day like they did today, but it's not steep and long enough. More in Pogacars advantage.
Lance Armstrong, greetings from Colombia, I hope someday you can come to our country, where you are very appreciated.
End of business 3:56
Best stage I’ve ever seen in the tour
Commentary on point. POD 23. Been going for everything. When has the entire TDF in him. Management meant tell him play it safe. Today hunger bonk or other POD bad day. I’m thinking he’s well coming back. Should be joint favourites in play instead 4/1 POD
USA prospects? Magnus Sheffield's a class act. Great show guys, thanks.
Yeah, Magnus! He s got a fan in this belgian here :-)
Although (for now) he seems more suitable for the classics. But he is young and that can evolve
I think Pog pushed hard the last few days because he knew his domestique was going out with Covid, and wanted to gain every last second before he lost him.
Great show and love your views on the stages 👍
Maybe it was the continued attacks by jumbo visma all the way up the climb! They cracked him!! Excellent execution By Primos !!!
FYI The helicopter in danish is when a naked man moves the hips around to make the man sausage move around like the rotor blades of a helicopter. Its something every dane knows what is, and is commonly done in the showers after gym class.
So - cya in the Douches XD
Not only Danes! I have encountered this in 🇨🇦.
UAE paid all the mistakes by pushing hard in days they didnt have to do it... at the same time, finally after many years a queen stage doesn't disappoint !!!
Queen stage is stage 12 - Galibier, Croix de Fer and Alpe d'Huez.. it's THREE "HC" climbs!!!
Pogacar is about to realize you need a strong team to help win the yellow jersey.
@Gone Awry you pointed out the biggest mistake: Pogacar was alone. You have zero chance to win attacks when you’re outnumbered. Jumbo is the stronger team. If they keep this up, Pogacar has no chance.
Say you what you want about an aging, crash-prone Thomas...the dude looked LEGIT today staying calm in the midst of that TJV vs. UAE shootout. Maybe if Kwiatko had been there to help on the Granon who knows? Surprised me. 🚲
yes tg was so smooth...smart rider!
I thought there was a zero percent chance this tour would be a back and forth battle you know Tadej isn’t gonna go quietly we’re in for a amazing tour
Sentences people. SENTENCES
I've noticed that lately there is not as much race analysis as there used to be. The podcast has become mainly an infomercial. I was really looking forward to this one after such an epic stage, but I did not perceive the same excitement and insights from y'all as when the TDF started or Johan is in the show.
Loving lanterne rouge BUT having Lance and the guys comment is irreplaceable. Knowing what it’s like to be there adds an awesome perspective.
Great show guys. I enjoy watching it every day. The Uvalde Bike deal is pretty cool, but have you considered they will need an excellent shop to keep those bikes tuned up.
Sadly you NEVER emphasized, the fact UAE and Pogajar, had only 4 team mates as Hirchi of no meaningful use. TP used a massive amount of energy covering the constant attacks and lost his team.

3:57 to skip what you are not here for.
Love the cap Lance. Love the show.
Hey guys!!! You didn't give a mention to "Il Condor Quintana". I agreed, now the race is more exciting.
There was an Eagle of Toledo there many years back
@@DuderinoDeux hey, I didn’t know anything about Federico Bahamontes. Thanks for sharing about him.
Not sure what's more exciting: This year's Tour de France or bottle tracking George v LA!
LA, you’re a metal guy and dont know Rammstein?? Here is some easy 101. Spieluhr & Du hast. That will get you goin. Greetings from Calgary Fire Dept in Canada!! Love the show and the great banter with you and the crew!!! Big fan.
Put "progress, not perfection" on a bottle/mug/t-shirt. I like it.
Progress, not perfection is an AA phrase.
Great insights... !!!
We need Lance to pronounce the stage names again!
So good, highlights again
I'd put my house on it that these current top riders are riding totally clean, which makes today's riding more amazing.
My brother, that’s a risky bet, considering they never have been clean. I too would love to think my faves are clean, but how do you beat others who are gaining a few percent by doping?
Another factor is the weight of the jersey that Vingegaard will feel for the first time tomorrow and will carry going forward
Explainer: "The Helicopter" is rotating your male member in celebration. Some kind of Scandinavian custom.
And yes! you guys need too hear "Rammstein"- worlds greatest live band.

I predicted this move at some point in the tour. Now Pogacar will not see the jersey again. Watch this space.
Heck of a stage. Wild stuff
I believe the Helicopter is a breakdancing move… but I could be wrong. The older I get the weirder things get.
Only men can do the helicopter as they move their hips in a way that make a certain bodypart move like a rotator. This has been done long long long before breakdance.
That was great race.
Jumbo have burnt Roglic. Jonas is their number 1 before the day started today. Jonas and Roglic used a lot of energy today as well.
UN saludo para todos desde Houston TX
George looking swaggy with the gold chain and gold bracelet 💧
It was so so so so good. Epic ness stage or what. Just ace. As good as Froomy on Setriere
1986,by the way, spot on for the raw emotion,damn right, it's real!!!but watch out for the stage to Mende this Saturday,it could be very much a trap stage and the last climb is suited for Pogacar but if Vingegaard has the legs of the Col du Granon,well.... we'll see but watch out for that one!!!

Another important thing to remember about "burning matches:" you only have so many matches in your "book." Once you use them all up, you're toast. Even someone with a big book like Pogacar will eventual use up his supply if he is wasteful.
It started when Tadej got attacked on the Telegraph and foolishly chased Rogolicz and Thomas instead of just sitting on Vingegaard's wheel. He was still on form at the last climb but still insisted chasing ALL of Jumbo Visma's attacks and these ultimately wore him out...when Vingegaard finally attacked, Tadej had nothing left. Very bad tactics by Podacar today, I really hope he learned something and thankfully there are many stages left where he can recover.
clearly jumbo had a strategy and executed multiple attacks on the toughest stage
For the last few stages with UAE organized in good numbers, I kept thinking, "Did this team take off a whole week so that, in the Pyrenees, he'd have a team with only 2 weeks' of effort vs. teams with 3 weeks?" And for the first time, that "He looks salty" comment shows quite distinctly in black or dark shorts vs. all yellow or light. What a 'tell'.
I really still cannot get over how they talk about fuelling and recovery when we know how they recovered back in the day.
Especially two of these guys talking & only fessed up when they had to.
Rammstein is one of those banda to see a show in a open stadium ,the fireworks they use is magnífico,and the música even better ,but they sing in Germán !
Great show,
I had a great day at work today... I'm going home to do the helicopter!
I'm helicoptering watching this
🤣
As one should
This was fantastic win for Jonas and for Jumbo, the attack on Col du Galibier was great, tactic was perfect, and final climb of Jonas very strong, but nothing extraordinary, 59 second on Qintana and 1:10 on Bardet, it was Pog that was off today. I couldn't believe my eyes when he pulled Jonas to the top of CdG, he pulled at least two kilometers as a locomotive, at 2000 meters above sea level! Why?! If you see that you can not make a difference, then stop the horses. At this altitude you can later pay for any excessive effort. Great racing anyway!
Tomorrow Jumbo need to attack again, I agree with Lance, if Pog will lose time than Tour is over, Jumbo is far stronger than UEA if Pog is not at 100% than is nothing he can do.
Black Wednesday for Slovenian fans today, not just because we saw the first complete blackout of Pogačar ever, but it is also becoming clear that Roglič is not doing well at Jumbo Visma. Today he showed satisfaction at the victory of Jonas, ironically today a new star was born, Jonas will be the center of attention from now on. He needs to go to another team if he ever wants to win the TDF, he needs a team that works for him 100%, so that he is protected. Don't forget that he started cycling very late, he doesn't have the instincts needed to ride safely , because you get this at a young age, so he needs the protection of the team. He actually never get this 100% at Jumbo, maybe in 2020 on TDF, from now on he will get much less, he has to find a new team this year!
Great 👍 wrap up
Geraint Thomas made an interesting comment when asked if Pogacar could possibly recover for the next hideous stage. I paraphrase: “For most people, no. But he’s a top, top rider…a once a generation rider. He can come back.
It is inconceivable, because of my own limitations, to imagine being strong the next day after emptying the tank so badly.
Bardet was impressive AND he got the Galibier Strava KOM (yeah, that kid Pogacar won't be happy)
Really hard to believe that UAE cant field a better team to help support the 2X Defending TdF champion... Should have brought a satellite GC rider like Almeida and/or Ayusa.. both can climb great and TT... Ive never seen a GC rider more isolated lately than Pogicar
@@franciskurt4708 what race are you watching?
Yeah man super cool!!
“Progress not perfection”: I’ve heard George say that a few times now😂
I thought it was podracing not perfection
They last climbed Granon in 1986 not 83. LeMond basically won the tour on that climb.
