Failed Champ Threatens Pogacar in Gangsta Style 😂

Tadej Pogacar will not race Itzulia 2024 against Jonas Vingegaard, Remco Evenepoel or Primoz Roglic but neither Tour of Flanders 2024 won by world champion Mathieu Van der Poel or Paris Roubaix 2024, however, the former cyclist and failed attempt to win Tour de France, Tejay Vangarderen, has dared to threaten Pogi in the program of the confessed doped, Christian Vande Velde, one of the most legendary and at the same time forgotten gregarious of Lance Armstrong, Ivan Basso or Alberto Contador. Why did he do it? We analyze his story and why everyone has criticized his absurd words towards Tadej Pogacar.

[@cyclinghighlights]

PS : TJ isn't a Failed Cyclist. He makes a living since 15 yrs ago. But yes a Failed Champ. A Blancazo Champ.

[@Rick-zx2ik]

Did anyone see Cortina when he got off the bike at Flanders going up that cobbled climb? It looked like he had to turn a motor off, but it was still going when he lifted the rear wheel. The pedals started moving. It was very odd to see and I encourage everyone to go back and watch it and tell me that it doesn’t look like he’s turning off something (motor).

[@zerog4261]

​@@Rick-zx2ikyeah, i did too and it crossed my mind. But remember he cld have caught the pedal when he picked his bike up and he would have been switching to a smaller gear to start climbing again. Also, if he wld have been checked if he won. But yeah, at tge time it looked dodgy.

[@Rick-zx2ik]

@@zerog4261 It looked like he was turning something to me. I’ve never seen anything like that before. Super fishy.

[@zerog4261]

@@Rick-zx2ik bro i totally agree. I called it soon as i seen it. Its just in retrospect i dont know how he cld get away with it. But agree completely, looked very very weird. But no one else has really mentioned it

@@cyclinghighlights as you can tell by reading my comments, like you I love cycling and have a memory like an elephant. Gewiss and MG-GB seem like yesterday. Few people remember the real reason for MAPEI dominance, remember, it was because of their science/performance laboratory in Milan (I think) where they were looking for those minute advantages, the ones USPS and Lance found by perfecting Diet and cutting edge bikes/ equipment. A few years later, like MAPEI and USPS, SKY called it "marginal gains", now UAE and VISMA are picking and choosing to use a little something from all the previous cheats - why wouldn't they, they're both organized and managed by cheats. A good memory, an objective appreciation of the racers (no fanboys allowed) and a desire for clean racing is all it takes, to call out the cheats while still enjoying the racing - dirty as it is.

Please rewatch the part where Cortina gets off his bike. It looks like he has a motor because the pedals start turning when he lifts the rear wheel off the ground. It’s fishy.

Love your videos. Very informative. So you think Cadel Doped?

[@cyclinghighlights]

He was with Ferrari. And he said he didn’t talked with him about doping so probably he was the only pro cyclist in the world who did that. Also in his own book said that Froome had a natural talent So Cadel’s words are the real truth

[@jakecraddock2575]

He may or may not, but one thing is very clear from this video. He certainly didn't like having his stuffed animal touched.

[@Edwardian]

@@cyclinghighlightsHe wanted him to prescribe medicine for his lovely dog. How can anyone assume he talked about doping to such a respectable doctor.. /s

@cyclinghighlights Can we please get a part 2 on this video? On stage 8 of the Giro, Eurosport went absolutely batsh*tz on Pogi winning too much. Dan Lloyd, & Sean Kelly went all in on this craziness. They even had Rob Hatch pressured into repeating some of their tomfoolery. The gaul these guys have to repeat the Teejay Van Garderen propaganda on the day they have Jonathan Vaughters as guest on the show and live commentary! 😡 We spend our weekends watching cycling and racing because we're fans. Generationally, if we are super lucky we are witnesses to greatness. This is one of those times. @cyclinghights it's up to you to save the peloton & cycling itself from these egomaniacs.

Remember his uncomfortable behaviour in the Netflix film about Tour de France 2022 of visma ! He confess in a recent interview that he was done, mentally tired to be obligated to be at top level!

[@isitrachelorj3953]

Excellent tying together the many threads of guilty dopers. You mentioned TJ's wheel-sucking, follow the leader, never go-for-it style - very much like one of his riders now, RIGO. His "white-out" is very similar to McNulty at UAE Tour earlier this spring when he inexplicably could not spin the pedals while in the leaders jersey. Same thing happen to Vine (another UAE doper at UAE tour last year 1 week after dominating TDU). A bad bag of blood, or the incorrect "vitamin" dosage will do that to you.

[@Wackerianer7]

What happened to Tejay Van Garderen? Why didnt they give him the chemical substances he needed in the latest years.?

[@cyclinghighlights]

Probably he didn’t need them. Blancazos and illness are hard. And probably he enjoyed more those final years than his prime ones. Not everyone could be at the top

Christian was known as a “nice guy” in Boulder & the cycling community. This gave him a massive hall pass, and thus he continues to suck the teat of a sport in which he and his crew cheated clean riders out of legit results.

[@SpiritualStuntman]

Your channel is like a breath of fresh air. I can’t listen to the lame commentators tell us and convince us that somehow bikes are so much faster and somehow nutrition is even better which is why they’re going as fast as they went in the EPO era. It’s a joke. The only thing that is a better joke, or the ones that you continually rapidfire at us with the nicknames. My favorite is still friend of the channel Mr. 60 😂😂😂

[@cyclinghighlights]

Obviously nutrition and bikes are better. But it’s like in the 2000s they said “now the stages are shorter” BS press

[@FastRider69]

XD

[@rexmundi273]

None of all these dopers come even close to doped Pogacar, Vingegaard, Van der Poel.

[@dangurtler7177]

Chris Froome was was even worse, 🤔

[@thanosduckplease]

wait so because Bobby Julich was a doper then according to your implied logic so was Jens Voight, even tho there is a consenous he didnt dope. It is said in the secret race that not all the riders on the team were doped. Idk its hard to know who quit doping, who didnt who is doping and who isnt.

[@cyclinghighlights]

Me not. For Jaksche and Tugboat, his former teammates, yes. Of course in a Legeay team was clean because they’re the always clean riders. With Riis, in Birillo’s stable of course he was clean, it’s the most possible thing
