Tadej Pogacar IMMEDIATELY Attacks Jonas Vingegaard | Tour de France 2023 Stage 1

[@markpedersen7265]

Absolute blast of a kick-off for the TdF. Excited to follow the LR coverage!

[@kingjasko]

this is already better than giro's first 2 weeks lmao

[@mondociaociao]

the difference is made by the riders (team managers) attitude, I don't not why, but in the Giro they act like coward speculators. My country offers awesome paths and landscapes, the rest depend on the teams/riders.

[@DjelQc]

@@mondociaociao it was simply due to the monster ITT on stage 20 that neutralized the aggressive racing...blame the route planner, not the riders.

[@mondociaociao]

@@DjelQc nahhh... tour de france a lot of times placed a beast tt (climb-tt) in the final stages (for example TdF 2020, stages 20, when pogi defeated Rogla) but in the all previous stages the riders battled... I don't understand why when they arrived to my Italy they act like zombies. I'm very sad.

[@tannerslomko]

Yeah it is. We had so many cool moments today. So many different dimensions to this stage. If it keeps up like this, we’ll have on of the best tours in a while.

[@rebeccabertrand3335]

Thanks LR and Benji for the live watch along today - I'm visiting the US and can't get access to live racing so the watch along was like listening to the race on the radio 👍😁

[@markdonovan1540]

What a first stage this was; the fans (although in some places they were severely restricting the width of the road which made it impossible to overtake on the climb in those areas), the terrain, the series of climbs and descents, winding through the small towns of this majestic part of Spain known as Euskadi (Basque Country), the weather, the views, the discipline and concentration in the peloton, the big teams, the individual brilliance of many riders, the road surface and absence of dangerous road furnuture (for the most part at least) - all made for an unbelievable start to the tour. Such a pity to lose Enric Mas and Richard Carapaz though, I hope they recover well. Pogacar showing he's going to put the pressure on already, which was expected anyway. The icing on the cake was the brilliant final 5k pull away and finish by the Yates twins, Adam and Simon. How can anyone not be a fan of the TdF for life after this mouth-watering opening stage?

[@orlaorla8677]

Adam being "co-captain" is just tactically for the media, as he said in interview after the stage win "its all in for pogi the next three weeks" Jonas should, as for now, keep an eye for pogi. If Adam is still in top three in week two he defo should keep an eye on him, but for now jumbo can sit in the shadow and wait for the best moment to attack the yellow. Going to be exciting to see what Skjelmose brings as well after Tour de Swiss, Tom pidcock as well in the mountains, the netflix series really brought that in so good. See you tomorrow

[@epincion]

Thanks. Pogi certainly laying it down that he is going to take every second he can get, Good explanation of the gaps that kept on appearing as riders dropped the wheel of the rider in front of them when not only was the race string out due to sheer speed but also the spectators crowding the roads and making it impossible to go around a slower rider.

[@carlobuan1095]

[@lostcosmonaut3966]

Great stage. Feels harsh to criticise Lafay but I'm really not sure why him and Skjelmose didn't go with Dos Yates on the descent. Doubt either incite a big reaction and I think both have a kick to win that stage. GC brain hit Skjelmose hard.

[@philgaming3171]

I have seen (not in this video in the live coverage) that they tried at least Lafay but pog or vingegaard didnt let them (it was just in the background for a few secounds)

[@sergiodemichele6295]

Jumbo Visma could have closed the gap with the Yates brothers, but they chose not to, because they knew Pocagar would probably win the stage...

[@Soli11]

Yeah, Jonas isn't stupid. If he closed the gap, Pogacar would just sit on his wheel, attack and win the stage and likely win more time on him. Jonas seemed pretty satisfied after the stage. He definitely preferred Yates winning instead of Pogacar.

[@username8644]

Still would have been a tough gap to fill. Its not as if the Yates brothers are some random no names lol.

[@HvilFred]

@@username8644 No, but clearly Jonas remembers Dauphiné

[@markdwelchforcongress4456]

Last week I wondered about the poetic justice that might occur if UAE put the pincher movement on Jumbo in a reversal of last year. And it has already happened ! It was not particularly impactful, but the longer Yates stays in GC contention, the more likely it is to happen again - and with much greater consequences. Jumbo not bringing Roglic might really cost them here.

[@zroeder]

Great stage 1! I think the Pog of last year would have gone for the stage win.

[@moegigo]

Great team tactics by UAE. Yates attacks, Jonas can not follow because he has always pogi on his wheel. So Pogi and Jonas neutralize each other a bit. And so Yates can probably attack several times during this TDF and gain time. And if there is no attack, Pogi can always win bonus seconds.. so Jonas will have to crush Pogi on a difficult stage to win the tour ( like he did last year )

[@martinhudobivnik5895]

That stage TJV destroyed Pogacar by attacking him on the flats. Looking good for UAE with Yates and no Roglic.

P can routinely beat v in last 300 m of a climb, more explosive, and routinely in sprints. P goes for every sprint bonus sec he can ( breakaway doesn’t take all the secs) and all finish line bonus secs, every time, b c every time here he can beat v. He’s got 4 secs. Good haul today.

[@1barnet1]

That's very premature. They had 2 riders at the end Jumbo had 4. They just played their cards really well in the final. Leaving only loss options on the table for Jumbo. That said i am absolutely loving this. Because it seems UAE's strategy is trying to scrap every second they can keeping the pressure on constantly doing short jabs for 3 weeks. While Jumbo is probably looking for another knockout punch in the mountains like last year. This will be proper entertainment for the fans.
