Years to come pogi vs jv vs remco, what a lovely years to come 🎉🎉🎉

[@Driver8takeabreak]

Jonas looking for a pull from Tadej (twice!) within 30 seconds of his counterattack was pretty odd.

[@mikkelline11]

I just think he was trying to feel out what his intentions were, if he would sit on or maybe even counter attack. To me it also looked like he was looking back to see Remco and how much he was dropping

[@doncompton9453]

It would have worked if Vinegaad hadn't kicked it up. But he wanted to be way ahead of Remco going into the TT.

[@benclr]

I didn't want to be that guy. But Tadej's final sprint, cold celebration and overall ease - are concerning.

[@Pabloruizr]

Patrick always makes it seem like Carapaz does zero pulls and never works in the breaks (he’s no Kung but he’s no Valverde either)

[@mikkelline11]

It's not so much that he never ever cooperates but he has a tendency to want to go on the attack and go solo when the other situation is more beneficial to him. In the past we have also seen him go so hard he simply implodes 😅

[@Pabloruizr]

@@mikkelline11 agree with that!

[@tomterific390]

"I have no idea what this breakaway was playing at" Maybe, oh, I don't know, a stage win? The nerve of them.

[@julienr.6254]

I don't know if Pogacar is clean but clearly the way he destroys even the second best rider easily every time is not particularly smart in terms of PR.

[@mikkelline11]

Just stop, he is allowed to prove he is the best and Vingegaard clearly lacks some muscle mass which caused him a drop in performance the last few days. It was not okay when people were screaming doping at Jonas last year; and it isn't okay to Pogi this year either

[@eduardoazeredo6250]

Well, that's no different from Vingegaard hammering 7 minutes on Pogacar in two stages last year. To which the Visma team CEO had to take a shot at the french teams to divert the attention.

[@julienr.6254]

I'm not taking about right or wrong. I'm just making a case on the PR strategy. No matter what the truth is it's not the smartest thing to do. If he's clean, by going for all those individual stages so dominantly is only gonna raise suspicion among a part of the public and if he's not clean, then he should probably try the lower profile to keep his yellow jersey and not make people want to prove he's not clean.

@@julienr.6254 Its Sport not PR for fuck sake.... this cycling fans are getting absurd... who is whining about Formula domination, Bolt domination, Madrid domination.... stop for fucks sake allready and go watch Red Cross give out food

[@angelatanurdzic7508]

Pogacar is awesome! 👍🚴🤸

[@jaxonrickel5499]

Pogi always looks a little awkward sprinting on the hoods, not that anyone in the world can really tell him what to do buttttt drop my dude. Use the drops 😅

[@lilybailey4011]

cmon jorgensen, that wasn’t necessary…

[@paulevans6403]

Sure it was. Most clear and succinct way to say FU Richard after his lack of cooperation yesterday.
