Tadej Pogacar COOKS Jonas Vingegaard on Puy de Dôme | Tour de France 2023 Stage 9

[@waitbalthy6342]

This first week of the tour is a 10/10 for me. Surprise attack winners (Yates, Lafay), contested sprints, monster performances from special riders (WVA and Hindley), interesting tactics and most importantly Jonas and Pog fighting like hell at the front. Cherry on top are Patrick and Benji. Thanks for making cycling fun again !

crazy that UAE still hasn't been able to put a team around Pogi. Jonas is a great rider, but hard to compare when Jumbo is so strong.

[@Eramsay121]

UAE doesn't need to be strong, they can just keep Pogi out of yellow for a bit and let Jumbo do all the work at the front (and for what it's worth UAE IS a strong team, Jumbo is just an actual super-team)

[@epincion]

Very sorry for Matteo Jorgensen and especially that he did not even get a podium. Woods a worthy winner and I agree with LR that Victor Campanaerts saved Mike Woods with his pacing of Group 3 up to Group 2 in the final 11 km. As to Jonas vs Pog I was surprised how well Jonas did. All day yesterday TJV including Jonas ate the wind for WVA while except for the last 1km uphill sprint Pog surfed and rested. Then today TJV chose the strategy of taking it to all the GC teams on the final climb starting right from the suburbs of Clermont-Ferrand. It worked to eliminate all the other GC contenders and also all of UAE domestiques but not Pog himself who had more reserves. Still gaining 7secs was useful to him but I’m not sure it was such a psychological blow to Jonas who knows that he and he team have done a lot more work over the past two days.

[@shimahimbaza]

while tadej even contested sprint hhhhh

[@dermotbarry-murphy9451]

Sorry but I completely disagree. This was a bad day for Vingegaard: he's supposed to go better in the heat than Pogacar, has a more complete team around him but lost, for the second day in a row, more time to Pogacar. Remember Pogacar is undertrained coming into this tour after his injury at Liege and I can only see him getting stronger relative to Vingegaard. As far as the other GC threats: there are none. Vingegaard has one person to beat and the fact that he put time into Pidcock, Yates, Hindley et al is meaningless.

[@Dee-Ell]

@@dermotbarry-murphy9451 Sorry but I completely disagree. Pogi is supposed to be much better and a more complete rider than Jonas but is still behind in GC. Pogi is so much better that he shouldn't need a better team to lead and win the Tour -- that's why he has the team he has. TJV does a lot of work and often splits work for WVA in one stage and for Jonas in another; while Team UAE does it for Pogi day in day out, all tour-long. Pogi should be leading this tour, even if "undertrained" (yeah right, so "undertrained" that he enjoys doing meaningless sprint finishes) but he isn't.

[@epincion]

@@dermotbarry-murphy9451 I don’t believe for a minute that Pog was really undertrained in coming in in the sense of being underconditioned. He may not have spent much time on a road bike but he compensated by an alternate training program that consisted of such things as hours of running up and down steep roads or stairs with a backpack plus the usual stationary bike training. Pog only had a more complete team around him precisely because UAE has only one objective which is yellow for Pog whereas TJV have two - yellow for Jonas and opportunistic stage wins for WVA (& Laporte). Personally I don’t like the split aim but it is what it is as it’s the price of Wout’s participation. As I said in my first comment this has meant that already TJV as a team has done much more work than UAE as for example in stage 8 when they went all out for WVA in the final 1/3 of the stage. Despite this when going up the Puy de Dome the domestique who lasted the longest was Sepp Kuss - where was UAE? So while Jonas lost 8 secs to Pog and came second I was surprised at how well he did given the effort he put in the day before. All riders in a three week GC get fitter as the weeks progress (unless they are injured in a crash) - the classic example being Sepp Kuss who always peaks in the third week. So yes Pog will get fitter but Jonas will also get fitter.

[@dermotbarry-murphy9451]

@@epincion Some interesting points. However I still think the idea that TJV will look at the last two days and be pleased with how they went is just wrong. Yesterday specifically the temperature suited Jonas, his team set exactly the pace he wanted up the last climb and still he ended up losing time. I'm not saying the tour is done or that Vingegaard is a bad rider only that last night he was disappointed. Also I'm really not sure how sincere you're being when you state that not being able to ride a bike for a number of weeks.leading up to the tour is not a big deal. Running up and down stairs as ideal prep for the Tour de France? Most significantly though: no one actually gets fitter during a Grand Tour, it's more a question of who loses less form. And as far as that goes, both Pogacar and Vingegaard have shown that they can perform in the third week. There's no reason that I'm aware of though to think that Pogacar will not have the upper hand then. I think it's going to be a thriller but Pogacar will win this one.

Jonas is probably aiming to be even with Tadej on time until the 3 mountain stages in a row next week and will attack on grand colombier, only at that point will he try to win the race and get the gap too big for tadej to close in the last week.

[@thomasvelthuis2989]

The way Jumbo operated today on the final climb gave me flashbacks of the tour of 2020, I think the last 2 mountain stages or so. I understand that having the yellow jersey comes with controlling the race, but Jumbo could have just set a defensive tempo up the Puy de Dome. It is up to Pogi and UAE to win time back on the yellow jersey. Setting a hard pace up the climb as Jumbo is working for Pogi too, They dont have another leader like Roglic to put pogacar under pressure. I am intrigued what the strategy is going to be but I think if they race like this the rest of the tour Pogi will fool them and take his 3rd win of the GC.

@@tonycrabtree3416 And Tadej is supposed to be a much better rider than Jonas. Jonas is 17s undercooked.

[@tonycrabtree3416]

@@Dee-Ell Soooooo, you admit Tadej is the superior rider? Therefore, on Jonas’ best terrain Tadej left him in the dust even with all that team help. Primoz helped Jonas last year. Now, Tadej only has to worry about Jonas on GC after today. The bigger rider went up the steeper gradient faster. If there had been a descent after that climb Tadej puts a minute more into Jonas.

[@fabse1091]

I know the reasons for their absence all make sense but I can't help to think about how great it would be to have G, Tao, Remco and Roglic also at the tour. I mean I dont want to disrespect anybody but at least to me it feels like that not all top gc guys are competing at the biggest bike race of the world which is kind of crazy

[@truefl6109]

Amazin coverage as always 🙌

[@suisinghoraceho2403]

Wasn’t the long climbs in week 3 more suited to Jonas while Pog is better at these more punchy stuff? None the less superb ride by both. Piddock had a slow down due to his concussion, may ended up serving him well and up his form in the summer.

[@marcusswedin]

Good stuff

[@painteater19]

Im not a roadie so I don't really know what constitutes absolutely cooking someone but it looked to me like Vingegaard hung around and defended the yellow jersey pretty well. Strong effort by all

[@rado1212]

How was this climb not included for so long I don’t understand. An epic one.

[@MichaelAndersen_DK]

it's a national park, very narrow roads and logistics are a royal pain. That and no crowd for the last 4 km was kinda bland to watch

[@Rhums]

I live in Clermont Ferrand, and was there today... it's complicated to organise, 30 years ago, the Puy de Dome was open to cars and had a huge car park at the top so it was pretty simple to organize this kind of events. Now it's a Unesco protected site and one rule is to avoid all human activities... so it's pretty complicated to get a TDF finish on a narrow road next to a train track, a train station and a HUGE transmission antenna in a natural site. But they did it due to TDF legacy and the touristic advertisement that ensued the announcement. The organisation had been pretty schyzophrenic until now, all the Puy de Dome (volcano site) has been blocked by gendarmerie and military (They used night vision googles to spot the most motivated fans in the woods), people had been parked in a huge fan zone so the arrival looks pretty bizarre with nobody at the finish and the final climb. Very bizarre because it has been announced as a very popular event, but at the end there has been so much limitations and privatisation that I'm a bit frustrated to have been spectator in this. Just to be clear, PDD is one hell of a popular tourist attraction (~200000/y), So I'm wondering why today, they choose to display a desert place...

[@obifox6356]

Part of the time they were building the railway.

[@newsbuster292]

@@Rhums I think fans were not allowed because the road is too narrow, it would have clocked the road completely having fans there. I think they made the right call on this one. It was a bit surreal yes.

[@Rhums]

Agreed, but the decision to put the arrival there is a bit curious considering the inapropriate infrastructure during the climb and at the top. The podium image is nice too... It would have been even cooler to get it next to the ruins of the Roman temple standing 50 meters away. Lastly, I'm a bit frustrated that the Clermont Ferrand mayor (O. Bianchi pretty famous here for his ignominous bike infrastructure management... bike lanes are a joke here) got the chance to be a the summit and get some free advertisement. Same thing with L. Wauquiez and L. Chauvin (AURA region president and Departement region president). Plus i'm still pretty angry ;bicycles were not allowed in the fanzone and there were no place to park bike securely... great forward thinking. But the stage was cool as hell, Micheal Woods victory made my day, the Pog/Vin battle has been great.

Where did woods come from. I was confused when the Movistar got caught

[@escgoogle3865]

LR's skills has made the ASO take notice. Shockingly the official recaps have leveled up from years past. I guess sometimes stuck in a glacier organizations can change. Next up, the LRCP implementation of a yellow/red card system.

[@jamesandrews1130]

Sitting at St. John's folk festival waiting for Iris Dement to perform. Great for Woods.

[@asnark7115]

No surprise. I said it the other day: This is what will always happen when Pog hasn't wasted all his energy chasing flat stage wins and trying to sit on Van Arte, Rog and Vingegaard at once.

[@username8644]

Agreed. Both went all out on the climb and almost did it in the same time. After Pog attacked the gap stayed the same between them.
