The break away is waste of energy when you have aliens on bikes

The advantage of going on breakaway is that sometimes thos alien's strategies let the breakaway go. It will be always a good bet looking for the victory

[@ShimmyD-u7g]

You're right, when you have Pogi who gods honest wants to win everything. For chrissakes he was racing in the sprint the other day. But seriously, in most years, the GC teams "take a break" so to speak on some of these days, but this year not so much. The break away is never getting a chance. There are a few stages coming up that Pogi might consider his 3 min lead enough and Visma may want to take a relaxed day to try and regroup.

[@XR4turbo]

When Jonas put in that out of the saddle effort and Tadej stuck with him without much apparent effort, I knew Tadej was going to launch. I didn't think he would go that far from the summit though. Jonas does not have the same form as last year, that much is clear, and Tadej is much stronger than last year and seems to be handling heat better (no open Jersey!). Cant wait to see them both at 100%

[@Elu_ahah]

The reason why he went so far is because in that moment Jonas slightly reduced his pace and he was looking back, which is basically the ultimate sign that he’s at his limit, Pogacar saw that and immediately attacked, that’s my take on it at least.

[@fangru7294]

Bro. Jonas literally said it was his best riding ever. And by the numbers he is stronger than last year.

[@dennismurimi2]

Visma played all the cards that they had today....they tried to make the stage as hard as possible to potentially get a repeat of previous Tours where they have been able to put Pog in difficulty. With Pog being just too strong, with Jonas probably not being at 100% and with Visma not having the ideal team at the TdF (missing Kuss) this is the result.

A general consideration on cycling today: top riders are now able to climb climbs between 8 and 9% gradient at well over 20 km/h; anyone who has ever practiced cycling knows that being in the slipstream of another cyclist going at more than 20 km/h leads to a significant energy saving; the consequence of this is that now only climbs that are consistently 9-10% or more represent a "neutral" battlefield, capable of highlighting pure climbing skills like those of Vingegaard

I mean Pogi is still very young so him getting better every year shouldnt be suprising. Last year he came back from a injury into the tour and the years before he didnt really had a great team. So him being way stronger then in the past seems very logical. Especially having such a strong team and always having suppurt till like the last few killometers is huge advantage and saves u much engery both physically and mentally.

Jonas is pulling out his best numbers ever. There is nothing wrong with him. Yes he had a crash but he wouldn't be there and the team wouldn't be killing themselves for him if he was subpar. He's riding better numbers than 2023. It's just that UAE have used the reverse of what JV have been doing to Tadej, learning how to crack him, Tadej and UAE has learned what cracks him and trained to counter it. He's in recent interviews saying this (he's tweaked his training for the types of stages that normally break him). He's learned to stay cool, he's fueling better, he's just BETTER than Jonas is. It also wouldn't suprise me to hear UAE and Tadej used the Giro, especially the way the team rode, as a training excercise for the TdF People need to accept this and stop dismissing what Tadej is doing, he's immense. They both are to be fair. Jonas in the past has benefited from Tadej having bad days and really putting the hammer down when he has, this year, he's not having any of note

Not gonna lie. This is how I like to see TP. Post race interview he looked quite relaxed. With this impressive win TP looks good. Although yes, it would not be wise to start counting your chickens just yet.!

[@louKushh]

every sport is doped up. I don't care, I come here for the spectacle of it all!

What a crazy weekend.

[@johnharris8394]

What was the temperature? Looked like the seventies F on ventusky.

I'd be thrilled if Landa podiumed.

[@jeffbrower8773]

are they using electronic shifting ? I don't see any cables

[@paulgilliland2992]

I’d say that was what you call conclusive.

[@pythor2117]

The time gaps on this stage look like GC standings after a week long stage race. NUTS

[@fathertime7864]

I can honestly respect this from Visma and JV more rather than just waiting for Pog to attack (which he will do even if he doesn't need to 😂) This shows they have confidence in JV's form. And it's probably the best stage to do so. It's hot, UAE rode a hard race in the previous stage, climb suits Jonas, worth the shot. Respectable performance from Jonas but this is Pog's year.

[@WildPhotoShooter]

Eddy Merckx used to attack even when he didn't need to, Pogacar has that same mindset......the best form of defence is attack.

[@jl-z2461]

Where was the “ciao” ?

[@bbqcrew1]

Having watched cycling for 40 years, I'm getting an uneasy feeling. I can understand the faster climb times with the better bikes and nutrition etc. The watt per kg numbers for the riders are... Explain to me how even an elite athlete can get off a bike after 40 minutes of max effort and be able to breathe comfortably and speak.

[@Mrwhomeyou]

"ah shit, here we go again" feeling

[@brianrainey2739]

Exactly. The veteran watchers sit quietly and wait….

[@zroeder]

yeah, d'un autre monde 😂. As long as motors aren’t involved, I’m enjoying the show.

[@723_gleefully]

Uhm... because they train? 🤔

[@durbz6657]

​@@723_gleefullywe have seen all of the same arguments during Armstrong era. Turned out we were right. Jonas and Pog are not as arrogant as Lance so me may never find out

[@stephencurry8552]

Great to see Tadej in top form. Never have cared for elves.

[@TheRealBlueSwan]

Was this arguably the best climbing performance of all time? It seemed absolutely wild with the time gaps.

[@Blabla123-u4f]

And the best thing is, Pogi is doing this absolutely clean, can you imaging that. 😂🤡 but hey he Never was tested positive, so has to be clean hasn‘t he?

[@ynot7262]

Looks like we're back in 2021 when JV could sort of stay with Pog but couldn't beat him... Wonder if TP is going for treble this year... I think he should... Good luck to all riders stay safe.

Bro is on that good gear

[@emotioneering]

These guys are riding so much quicker than those in the Armstrong era who were doping up to their eyeballs. Honest question; are the marginal gains from aero kit and better science really making that much of a difference or is there anything else going on?

[@elliottd323]

Something else, a skinsuit isint helping you climb 4 minutes faster then pantini

[@benbwaite9858]

For sure the technology is better making them ride quicker but they are pushing the same watts per kg as known dopers 🤷🏻

[@edgarasibal410]

Why are people still dwell on the doping past decades ago? Can they not differentiate that today bikes are more modern with state of the art components? Not to mention, pricey for us common people? hehe. Also, good nutrition plus training and most importantly, unique human capability. The competitiveness and the will to excel and win can drives adrenaline to the max. So, just enjoy the show without malice and let the UCI do their work on doping.

[@OlivierVerdys]

ahem...compare with athletics. One could argue world records should drop faster in athletics, but they don't. Athletics has become cleaner and the 1980 East German records still stand....

[@durbz6657]

We heard exactly the same arguments during Armstrong era. Better preparation, never failed a test etc etc

Pogacar wins the giro, tour and vuelta. And of course the OL. There is no stopping him apparantly.

Not a terrible choice for TVL to try for one last time. If they can't break Pogi here then everyone just chill for the rest of the tour why not.

[@christopherdolan7330]

Joke's on Pogacar. Visma expected to lose 3 minutes on today's stage and be at least 10 minutes down in the general classification. Trust the plan /s

Just wait...the plan is to be off the podium completely

His tufts are so crazy he looks like a hedgehog, a clear sign it was a great day for Pog.

When I saw the tufts in full effect at the starting line I knew it would be a bad day for his rivals

At this point i am just praying its the good old stuff rather than motors.

[@indysbike3014]

Why can’t we see power output from the riders? Technology is there so would be nice to have access to their power meters. It would make watching cycling more enjoyable.

[@victorpires6791]

Most teams keep that a secret for some reason, but some riders post their rides on strava with power numbers.

[@Zawisza499]

@@victorpires6791 that's just stupid. how does the knowledge about pogacar being able to keep 7 w/kg for 40 minutes help you drop him? xD I understand hiding training data but hiding racing data is just pointless imo.
