2 superstars, who both won the TDF twice in the last 4 years, sprinting for that victory after a brutal 5h stage with 4350 altitude meters… This is why the Tour is the biggest cycling race out there. Just speechless.

Might already be the greatest rivalry ever. The only rival is hinault, Lemond imo but that’s more because of the infighting drama. Fignon/lemond? Didn’t last for long. Armstrong/Ullrich?

Great stage. Fantastic. I love how unpredictable this stage was. Every journalist predicted a breakaway win and we get this. Everyone would’ve predicted Pogi winning the sprint, and we get this. Everyone has said Jonas is a bit robotic and we get this incredible interview where he cries and talks about family and his comeback. Bravo to all the riders!

[@tonyg3091]

When we talk about the robotic side of Jonas, we always always talk about his riding. I do not like the cyclist and competitor Jonas, but the person, the human being Jonas, I have nothing against. This is important to understand. There must be a clear distinction between racing and personal stuff.

[@HolgerDanske874]

Only angry fans of Roglic, Pogacar, Evenepoel etc. have called Vingegaard "robotic". They're trying to cope with their favorite rider losing. Vingegaard is one of the most exciting riders in the world, have been for years.

That had to be a hugh blow to Pogi's moral. There was doubt in the beginning off the tour if we would have the rivalry from past years. Today we got our answer and i'm all for it. The weekend can't be here quick enough.

6:48 - I was there at this big highway! I was standing in the distance on the right (I was wearing a bright yellow Australia cricket jersey). They flew past! It was awesome seeing them up close! I joined a tour group (Bikestyle) and we do some riding to intersect the stages - I can now understand why Europeans are so strong and why other continent's riders go there to train - the gradients are easily 10 percent (and much steeper) anywhere you go. At one point in our ride today, there was a little country road that we were descending and there were 3 riders riding up and I swear they were riding up faster than I was descending!

[@darkiee69]

If that's the case you need to let go of the brakes😁

Yeah they go like 15-25km/h up the mountains. Considering the distances they do it's almost unbelievable. There is a GCN video where Hank tries to go up a mountain in the same speed as the slowest person (who wasn't disqualified) and he was like 1km/h too slow. It's insane.

Its crazy how underrated that comeback was taking over 30 seconds on pogacar on that last short climb

[@CanJmpToo]

Jonas pulled monster watts, it's plausible that Pogi was brought back, but by the look of the final sprint (and the bonus sprint before) it seemed Pogi was bonking. UAE didn't admin any fueling mistake in the interviews, but they seemed confused - maybe panicking a little bit?

[@sleepdeprived9181]

anyone would bonk with or without sustenance on a long aggressively sustained climb

[@MrVKenneth]

​@@sleepdeprived9181The body can burn only so much carbs, if you fuel sufficiently you simply don't bonk no matter how hard you go. What will stop you is the lactate, but by seeing Pog eating half a kilo of sweets after the finish and even on the podium like a 6-year old kid, Pog clearly fucked up his fuelling strategy. Again.

[@Infiltator2]

I mean if you look at the time remco put in he also gained time on pogi in the last one.

[@UbzUnclemax]

​@@MrVKennethThat's almost literally completely the other way around, I'm afraid. The expenditure of carbohydrates exceeds the rate of absorption. Even assuming 150 g of carbs per hour only results in 600 kcal of carbs ingestion. In the meanwhile these guys can push 420 watts as FTP, and at that intensity very little fat is used. And 400 watts per hour is about 1600 kcal per hour, so yes a lot of carbs still have to present endogenously and bonking will occur if the event lasts long enough. Also, lactic acid is the saviour of endurance athletes, not the enemy despite of it being a common myth. You don't have to take my word for it, I'm just a registered dietitian and MSc in Human Movement Sciences, specialization Sports and Nutrition, but the scientific literature is clear on the matter. Lactic acid is your friend 😉

[@CanJmpToo]

@@MrVKenneth It's also not the first day that Pogi is on the podium chewing food. It would be really interesting if one day they manage to publish a report by a professional of what happened at a physiological level. One off human bodies, well trained and put it at the limit

You could see Pog was tiring and Vingegard seemed to be getting stronger. UAE have lit up the first 1/3 of the tour to try and eliminate the other 3. The gaps are still pretty small considering the amount of climbing they’ve done. I fear for Pog when they hit the big mountains as Vingergard seems to be improving by the day and Pog whilst better than 99% of the peloton, has shown a tiny crack today. It may be a one off. Whatever happens this tdf has been outstanding.

[@suziederkins3310]

Jonas never cracks, he'll lose time but only a few seconds here or there. The fear is that if Pogi cracks, he'll lose minutes.

[@millerpils]

I mean, what a stage; I was shouting at the TV when Pog attacked. Jonas did his classic pacing to bring it back then Pogi smashed the descent. Jonas looked like he went deep to bridge the gap on the penultimate climb while Pogi seemed to crack. In many ways, Pog is lucky that Jonas only won the stage as I think there was a chance he could have lost a lot of time today. My overall feeling is UAE need to let the race come to them rather than going on the attack. Consolidate the lead, let Visma do the work and wait for the right time to go. Of course, easy to say that as an armchair fan with hindsight 😀

Pogacar needs to put pressure on Vingegaard and let him pull when they are in front together. These pulls at the end made no sense and were counterproductive in every way. Pogi would have won this one if it wasn't for these pulls on the last false flat. When you want to act like you are stronger you get beaten in the end.

[@Infiltator2]

In the last ITT you can get a minute. That is just full on climbing and descending way harder than the last one. But that will suit Pogi. But there are still 4 high mountains left and pogi didn’t look fresh in the end. Will be interesting who has the legs in a week 3

Vingegaard trailing Pog when he grabs a bidon is that killer winner instict

I think UAE in hindsight probably realise that they should have got Majka instead of Ayuso as their domestique. He would have not only stuck with Pog on these climbs, but also been a calming influence.

This means that Tadej solo does not beat Jonas with help (current and old teammates.)

Dude this is the best recap of whats gonna go down as a legendary stage

[@edwin.jansen]

The Tadej Pogacar fan boys at Flemish Sporza tv always talk about Tadej having a problem with not eating or drinking enough or having a heat stroke when somebody beats him or matches him. Will be interesting to see how they react when the one doing it is Remco.
