I have never done bikes in my life and now I am a radical pogacar hooligan. Such a show again today. Unbelievable. I don't miss any race with him. Such a showman
Pog opened up the gap because no one was going to chase him and the "chasing group" was more concerned about saving energy in case one of them attacked in the end that always leads to high victory margins. Amazing ride by Pog.
Just like Annemiek van Vleuten, when she won the TDF two years ago on these monster-hillclimbs of the last two stages. Or Demi Vollerink, when she did the same last year on the final stage.
@@ben9229 They are both awesome!! For me though , Pogi is the one. I like how he does the classics and things out of the ordinary. It makes it entertaining to watch. If he does the double this year , groß und Prost!
@@sandydennylives1392 even before yesterday's performance it was obvious but after that BEYOND SUPERHUMAN ride yesterday it is glaringly obvious.

Os principais adversários de Pogacar no Giro estão em fim de carreira, idade avançada. Ele vence com facilidade, queria ver com advesários em alto nível, a história seria diferente.
Sensational. To think Vingegaard beat this man by 3 minutes in TDF 22' and more than 7 minutes in 23' is just insane. Hope to see them race each other in the Vuelta. Doubt JV will ride TDF after the crash.
I think Pogacar is the most physically talented rider we've ever seen, and thus is a strong contender for next GOAT. You put ANY rider from the past, in their prime, next to Pog today, and it's hard to imagine he does anything but beat them. MAYBE Eddie would give him a run on modern bike, but even then, with nutritional science being what it is, I don't think Eddie wins. Time will tell if he can match palmares with the best though. Also makes you realize how amazing Vingegaard is too.
Just to mention but Pogacar was still half a minut slower than pantani in just 7km...pogacar would be an average rider 30 years back if we compare time.. this guy is nothing against merckx
It reminds me of Marco Pantani' feat at Madonna di Campiglio. Never seen such a dominance since then and today it was like back then. I hope that no alternative truth will turn up in the futures over the facts we witness today.
C'mon tho! When someone is that far ahead of his peers it has to be questioned. This had EVERY SINGLE commentator and ex rider lost for words. They did not know what they just saw. They didn't know what to say 🤘🏻🏴
I just can't wrap my head around it, how can he be SO MUCH stronger. The other big names appear to be absolutely outclassed and he looks like doing a training ride. I really like pog, but the juice he's on must be from another planet
Look at the last 3 tours, JV, even WvA, among others, smoking everyone. There are like 6 riders above anyone else at the moment, and when they don’t race eachother, they smoke everyone else! Jumbo let their 3rd tier rider win the veulta - imagine how bad the winning margin would have been if they let JV or PR win???
@@osimnodhe was the 3rd tier JV rider of the veulta, he isn’t a “”3rd tier rider””. Work it out. JV & PR were the 1st & 2nd tier riders & they would have done a TP decimation of the field at the veulta.
C'MON NOW!! All you keep hearing from commentators is them saying, unbelievable, majestic, miles ahead of the rest of the pk magnificent, a different level than anyone in the race, it's next level stuff, Kelly was out of words, it's just unreal etc etc. These are the words of ex riders that are not believing what they are seeing.

Well then, let's put Vingegaard in the mix too. Pogacar has been winning races since he was a teenager, proving many times of his talent from a young age Vingegaard came out of nowhere in the 2021 TDF and started dominating, mind you, he had already won 7 races by April this year as well before his crash, that's an astronomically astounding feat. Maybe they are doping, or they are not, But one can't point fingers only on pogacar and act as if vingegaard is clean.
Honestly, I think Pogi should dial it down a bit. He has (already had) Giro in his pocket. With other TdF contenders essentially crashing out of the competition, TdF should be an easy win by Pogi's standards and then he can go for a triple crown with Vuelta. That would be tough as both Jonas and Remco will recover, but if anyone can do it - - it's Pogachar. And this year the opportunity has presented itself, so he should go for it.
Great for T.P. 🎉 He seems from another world. Sometimes I remember Lance Amstrong with superlative body “recovery system”. He wins against F.Ganna in Chrono, he wins against a climb specialist like Nairo. All these without team support. Its crazy this Super human show. This sound no good for cycling.
when was the last time Nairo achieved anything in a group of favourites? oh, and he beat Ganna in an uphill TT, not in a flat one. so still normal here - besides, TTs towards the end of a GT often go to GC riders rather than TT specialists
Greatness, pogacar But if in first week vingegaard doesn’t lose more than 2:30 then 2d week v will stay even with p. Stages 13 and 14 are key at tour. V will have his legs by then, and, likely there, and in last week will win tour 24. Also depends on weather. If a hard mtn stage is in x hot weather, there p is weaker than v
Thomas is quoted as saying "We let Poj go, to do his own thing." Yeah right! , you didn't "let him go ", you couldn't keep sucking his wheel and he obliterated you !
Pogacar putting fear into his competitors for the TdF. Great tactic just get more time on the 2nd week, so 3rd all he has to do is follow wheels, guaranteed giro win, and rest for the TdF.
Well enough of Juice comments already, but I think the margins are high because of the competitors psychology too. He attacks with a bit of kms to go, others keep looking for who’s gonna chase, and a gap increases. Then others think of riding defensive to not loose thier current positions! All this combined you get a nice 3min gap on the main group.
Tour de France 2023 Stage 16 ITT Jonas vingegaard 1:38 minutes ahead of pogacar , Almost 3 minutes off third place wout van aert, a proven time trialist.
bar a meteorite striking the GC group or some other miracle the Giro is already over and it's just a really expensive group ride now. Personally - if the alien in pink is really legit then wow what a once in a species talent we're all witnessing ... since you already have to be a top athlete doped to the legal limit just to complete a grand tour whatever the little homie is doing is either truly superhuman on a level so far beyond everyone else as to not even be a competition anymore - or theres something else involved we just don't know about yet .. who knows but his sponsors can certainly afford anything they want. it's just too hard to believe for me ... i want to believe .. it's just hard.
If we open the can of worms we can be here all night. The nearest glaring example was of course Chris Froome and his comrades at Sky. He raced the Vuelta under investigation with tests results that were high and more than sufficient to ban other rides. These miracles performances are not the first or the last we see in this sport. I really do like Pogacar and the racer he is! I don’t want to know and just enjoy the sport…
@@pahouseholderactually it is naturally possible. Did you know that Pogacar at this level wouldnt even be a worldclass rider 30 years ago. He wouldnt battle for the gc even tough the bikes were way heavier, it was less famous, no aerodynamics and so on. Guys like G.thomas would be domestique's. So why cant it be natural?
And now imagine Vingegaard putting 4 minutes into that Pogi when in shape.... so what ? Pogacar has always been outstanding from his youth days to when he enterd the pro scene to always.... Vingegaard came out of nowhere and suddenly was 10 minutes better than everyone else and 4 minutes better than pogi... you hating the wrong guy
He was only 29 seconds ahead of an old, washed-out former champion.. that is, after running at an average of about 50 kph for 225 kilometers. Was Nairo's feat easier to accept, in the realm of possibilities?
i know .. so obvious, no effort or breathing heavy until the very end.. why not conserve and defend if need be, let Naro take the win... i have never seen a more obvious example of a doped cyclist ..

Tour de France 2023
Stage 16 ITT
Jonas vingegaard 1:38 minutes ahead of pogacar ,
Almost 3 minutes off third place wout van aert, a proven time trialist.
We will confirm he is the king of mountain if he win world tour 2025 in the country of thousands hills (Rwanda).
good ride from bardet
amazing ride
Can't wait till Vinny is healthy, to give Poggy some competition...J/S
yeah, I hope tdf will be much closer with jonas, remco and primoz but I wouldn't bet on it witnessing pogi's performance
Disappointed we didn’t see the fight in the GC group at the finish
bar a meteorite striking the GC group or some other miracle the Giro is already over and it's just a really expensive group ride now. Personally - if the alien in pink is really legit then wow what a once in a species talent we're all witnessing ... since you already have to be a top athlete doped to the legal limit just to complete a grand tour whatever the little homie is doing is either truly superhuman on a level so far beyond everyone else as to not even be a competition anymore - or theres something else involved we just don't know about yet .. who knows but his sponsors can certainly afford anything they want. it's just too hard to believe for me ... i want to believe .. it's just hard.
If we open the can of worms we can be here all night. The nearest glaring example was of course Chris Froome and his comrades at Sky. He raced the Vuelta under investigation with tests results that were high and more than sufficient to ban other rides. These miracles performances are not the first or the last we see in this sport. I really do like Pogacar and the racer he is! I don’t want to know and just enjoy the sport…
We all saw this coming. Tadej needs a new crop of riders to rise up and contest him truly. So far Vingegaard stands alone in the GC fights
do you think Remco Evenepoel actually have chance at challenging Pogacar in the Tour the France?
😂😂😂😂😂
you are a funny guy :)))
lol 0......Remco is incredible in 1 day races but not so much in long Grand Tours
He won't even be on the podium.
Absolute command by Pogacar. Bravo Nairo 🤗🤗🤗
Wow. Out of this world???
Dude is an alien. Snatching souls on tours and classics. Yikes
pink pog unstoppable.....!
Never call a winner until the race is ended... Too many things can happen.
The point is how much he can train for TDF during this Giro. I believe he is aiming for it, rather winning Giro.
GT on the wheel of the domestique until 500m to the finish? No wonder it's so easy for Pog
Pogi's pace looks humanly impossible. That bike must have a motor, (even though it doesn't 😂)
That's because it is naturally impossible.
@@pahouseholderactually it is naturally possible. Did you know that Pogacar at this level wouldnt even be a worldclass rider 30 years ago. He wouldnt battle for the gc even tough the bikes were way heavier, it was less famous, no aerodynamics and so on. Guys like G.thomas would be domestique's. So why cant it be natural?
Great coverage. "Poga" got in his "car" and zoomed like only he can. Can you have too much fun? I don't think so.
I like Pocagar, but he's made it boring because of how good he is! Looking forward to the TDF when the only ones who can beat him return after injury.
Looks like someone else we used to watch do this kind of thing 20 years ago…
There is no natural, rational, legal, ethical way he is THAT much better than EVERYONE else. None.
And now imagine Vingegaard putting 4 minutes into that Pogi when in shape.... so what ? Pogacar has always been outstanding from his youth days to when he enterd the pro scene to always.... Vingegaard came out of nowhere and suddenly was 10 minutes better than everyone else and 4 minutes better than pogi... you hating the wrong guy
He was only 29 seconds ahead of an old, washed-out former champion.. that is, after running at an average of about 50 kph for 225 kilometers. Was Nairo's feat easier to accept, in the realm of possibilities?
G is apparently in very good shape, but couldn't even bother to chase when Pogi opened up.
Bother ? That implies there was a choice in the matter?
G does not have an explosive style. He doesn't do rapid attacks. He's a powerful diesel. He couldn't follow, it's that simple.
Big Time Chapeau
He really owned that stage!
Showed everyone.
Incredible.
Why make it so obvious you’re juiced when you’re already 3 minutes ahead? I don’t get it.
i know .. so obvious, no effort or breathing heavy until the very end.. why not conserve and defend if need be, let Naro take the win... i have never seen a more obvious example of a doped cyclist ..
Let's say hes doped! Others are not? Thomas isn't dopped? Remco? MVDP? WVA? Roglic? Vingegaard? You think they are clean if hes doped? XDDD
Beast mode!!!
In a couple years they will find out he is juiced..and make a movie..
Pog deveria começar o Giro com -05:00 pra ter graça.
Damn, they look like muppets compared to Pogi. Reminds me on good old days…
Lots of tailwinds in this Giro
These results are so reminescent of the early 2000s. How do you expect us to believe Pogacar isn't the latest version of Lance Armstrong?
Pogacar went full Ivan Basso from 2006 Giro. I wonder if they using same juice. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Wow, that was unexpected.
😂
