[@jandryromero2871]

It is also important the change in riding style of Pogacar. Now he is riding 170 mm cranks and he has more cadence, but it seems he climbs worse than before in 2020 and 2021 when he was riding 172,5 cranks and he climbed with lower cadence. Vingegaard is using 172,5 cranks and he is only 174 cm, a bikefitter would say he is using a very long cranks for him but he is the best climber in the world riding like that, for example Wout Van Aert also uses 172,5 and he is almost 189cm. That could be interesting to analyze also. Thanks a lot for your videos! Merry Christmas to you!

I so hope Jumbo doesn't run into something like a sign or virus, they are the only real threat I feel.

Ow, while also coming 1-2-3 on the podium there. I mean, when will the other teams wake up and realize their approach is outdated? I hope next year there will be tougher fights!

This is the battle we want to see: the best rider against the best team. (Although TJV team tactics are somewhat questionable sometimes) There are complications for TJV though: WVA wil ride his own race while he could be the deciding factor pulling the race apart where it doesn’t favor Pogacar. (And, as mentioned, they miss Dennis) I hope all these contenders will not suffer any set backs for a battle royal!

Aside from the usual factors (Crashes, COVID) the biggest threat to Pog is unseasonably hot weather over multiple back to back stages. His tactics/racecraft in the moment is just superb. No doubt Jonas is a beast and a huge talent…I hope he does well but he’s got his work cut out for him to even podium.

[@Oldgames1000]

I've got a theory. Pogacar doesn't do that good on the legendary / high climbs. He got dropped on col de la loze in 2020, which was that epic epic high mountain stage. Then on Ventoux they dropped him. So Maybe Alpe D Huez? But I think that Alpe D Huez might actually suite him a little better so it's tough.

[@wsbygt]

[@frederikthorup6785]

I don't think many people actually think anyone is better than Pog, but upsets do happen and people are looking for possibilities for an exciting race. With your attitude it almost sounds like it's not worth riding the race because Pog already won, that just seems overly pessimistic.

[@MDP1702]

Vingegaard is stronger this year, fell in stage 8 and was domestique for Roglic before he crashed out thus likely happy with going for second place. Afterwards Pog never was able to ride him of his wheel if I remember correctly, only having the better punch at the end to make a small gap for stage victories, which Vingegaard always closed down a bit near the finish line. Pog was nevertheless stronger than Vingegaard and is likely still, but I think it might be closer than many people think and depending on the stage (eg. hot) Vingegaard might be slightly better. I just hope Vingegaards peaks properly during the tour and didn't peak too early already.

[@ryanphelan6861]

This is perfect route for O'Connor short of cobbles. There's such a climb heavy repetitive route again twice over galibier just bookending stages this year if all goes well I think eventually Jonas will be asked to not sacrifice podium or top5 since dauphine showed that but one of two will go from range on planned attack forcing tadej to cover and giving one a free ride on day where hopefully they have diamonds in there legs. As we saw in tirreno when tadej buries gas he goes away quick and Jonas himself said his acceleration is just incredible and nobody was in that league. Jonas had poor tt at tirreno is obviously stronger, and as long as cobbles don't put them back after tadej looking elite on pave, that would be issue that tadej will let a Thomas or kung a cobbler who can climb take yellow until maybe alpe d-huez where I'd guess tjv want jersey. If tadej is confident taking it there it's bad sign meaning he will just keep attacking everyone on every big clean climb for rest of race again nullifying the trains he's only one even Alberto couldn't detail an elite train. He needed mano a Mano. 2014 Vuelta. O'Connor will be constantly given slack as a non top TT and he suits all those climb heavy stages wouldn't be surprised if a tjv member is sacrificed to see O'Connor podium. Early in race Thomas, vlasov, should show well but roglic, pog, Jonas, O'Connor, a recovered Yates it's a lot of climbing better be a natural. GC my guess gets polka dots again otherwise Pinot and Guerrero could be exciting for polkadot race. 🥂 Cheers felicitations. Side note welens supposed to go to uae not benoot but a similar type role but if Swiss army knife ,big engine, rouleur , great for Flanders ambition. They pulled a Stefan kung, catanneo, bisseger even it's still not having wva, winning in general classification framework is hardest thing to do in cycling,but besides that best one day rider in cycling hands down so even all that help which is pie in sky just levels field wouldn't make team better. Not until healthy joao is used like Castro climbing domestiques and his Jonas who's 19 in ayuso bummer in timing because they will be monsters eventually with that depth could sweep podiums like ineos. 100%right about Milan I said it when people started snickering look at numbers competition wasn't there. He definitely was dropped as Jonas says it's best legs he ever had in his life and while he would have won summit finish the pretty noticeable back off I'd tadejs style to drop heart rate get back in aerobic rhythm and he's smart enough to know there was a descent to charge back on so best get lactate out of legs. If tadej goes for jersey on alpe d'huez he's ambitious historic climb be huge indicator of his comfort and confidence as he would stay in wheels unless he feels he's untouchable. Again agreed the way these guys avoid each other is annoying for VG pick lol or gambling if nothing else ☺️🏞️🏆two podiums given healthy race primoz , Jonas, tadej or tadej, Jonas , O'Connor vlasov in the mix not sure about 3 weeks but he's performing at the 4th highest all around level imo this year. Just think O'Connor rides so easy he will be final group 3rd week if not all race aside from solo victories. If tadej loses much like Alberto he's emptying chamber so if he loses to one I think it's tjv strength and tactics and both better him and if he has legs like strade, Flanders, tirreno etc I think teams will fight for 2nd maybe worst thing for tjv is a ganna,Dvb, Thomas led ineos they won't bully that horsepower and even if they help one stage that train will help pog and spare his team a lot of work especially if he has best legs. Let those two torture peloton and do your thing. Wellness would be great with tadej ,hirschi,not sure if trentin stays but kung, campanaerts, cattaneo, bisseger all game changers fir UAE imo hope to see it Dvb types to take over from bjerg as they ascend, ride, valleys, or become classics contender. Wellness wasn't getting chances at lotto as Belgian maybe victor isn't as far fetched I'd thought.✌️rambling I know your time lot stuff

It iritates me a little bit that they avoid each other. It would be more interesting when they would race more races together.

1:15 "that's how AF won the stage" LOL... yes, that's how

I hope TJV does a better job at protecting Roglic this year. Last years crash where he was riding alone in the bunch was hard to watch.

Just ruptured my meniscus in a cycling crashes so on crutches for a fair while, silver lining I get to watch every second of the tour 🙌🙈😅

I feel so much desire on behalf of Roglic

[@toozydude2]

Why do you always say Pierre "the" Latour? Isnt his name just Pierre Latour? 0:56

[@lycheeznuts]

He won because he was doped out of his mind. Pretty pathetic tbh

[@paulnicols9869]

2022 TDF betting is the worst I have ever seen. Just no value anywhere. Pogs odds on too risky incase covid strikes and Roglic/Vinegaard just 4 and 5/1 against him which is stupid, then some of the fringe players odds are terrible too like Geraint, Vlasev and Martinez just around 16-25/1 against them, think for the first time in 20 years I will not have a bet and sit and enjoy it or have a few stage bets but the overall is a waste of time because of covid risks and the low prices

[@jamesanthonycocozza7858]

Got O'Connor E/W 150-1. Decent considering he finished 4th last year and his form at the Dauphine suggests he might do similar.

I would love to be able to cycle through stage 11, it looks incredibly smooth and beautiful (I'm not a cyclist, don't ask me to go up a lot of slopes, and I'm from the Canary Islands, so I can't easily ride things like that here. I have the Teide National Park , and that's it)

[@hendrixinfinity3992]

I've heard amazing things about cycling there and honestly, the best way to experience the world that I've found is about 10-15mph
