Tadej Pogacar "I Honestly Don't Know Why I Attacked" | Tour de France 2024 Stage 17

[@WaveSamu]

I can imagine very well how the part about EF will be in the netflix documentary. "It's the LAST week of the tour and EF hasn't won a stage yet, even though they tried so often." then a sad Ben Healy face. and then in the race - Carapaz is going to say something like "yeah I turned my head off and just went at it, thinking this is my shot!" and then they celebrate in the team car and there is sentimental music and everything

[@paulstarstarpaul5700]

Definitely going to be like that, but Tbf if you were the producers would you do tell it differently? It’s just a nice story easy to tell isn’t really wrong and is interesting. I wouldn’t be able to come up with something better.

[@WaveSamu]

@@paulstarstarpaul5700 no, my comment wasn't meant to be satirical. I really liked the documentary. it's funny to make fun of the stylistic and narrative choices but I know those are made for a reason haha

[@brandonrittenour]

@@paulstarstarpaul5700 And to top that, it's really basically the truth, just with a dash of romance.

[@WaveSamu]

@@brandonrittenour the truth, yeah, but producers can really shift foci by asking the right questions in the interview and by editing a little bit out of context. as I said, I liked the show, but I find it quite important to not be drawn into it too much and keep kind of a little distance

Offense is the best defense😂

[@tonycrabtree3416]

A defense that blitzes on all downs when up 21 points. 😂

[@h0lmie]

This stage is a great example of why they shouldn't take radio away from the riders. So many satellite riders in no-mans-land waiting; they need the info of when to drop.

[@TurtleSlut]

Is there even a case for taking away radios from riders, I'd advocate for easier radio devices for riders so they dont have to lean into their shirt to communicate with their teams.

very happy to see a more mature pogacar this year letting vigegaard work not chasing remco down only attacking when he can hurt jonas.

My opinion is they are not letting Jonas regain his legs for the final two serious mountain stages. They know Tadej is in perfect form and will be rested and ready.

I said it before, if remco attack it will be jonas who will have to chase will tadej sit on hit wheel then attack.

Great for Carapaz! He’s been having a go all tour but has been cannibalised by the big 3, as has everyone.

[@japanmwl]

Please do not believe he did not know, he wanted to check how Jonas reacted after 179 km. This gives him some insights for Stage 19 where he will be attacked. I was astonished that Tadej survived this hot day so well, normally hot weather is his weak point, but Visma could not take advantage; brilliant tactics from Visma, strategically put Riders in all positions to be able to protect Jonas or if Tadej showed weakness to gain some valuable time. What is Remco planning? Will he have balls and fight for the second position on Stage 19? Now, Visma and also UAE Team have to realize that Remco is still fresh and can attack? Was that his initial plan to attack during the last stages? Fireworks are starting on Stage 19/20.

[@Pierrrrrrrrrrrrrrre]

Apparently, he has been doing a lot of training to better manage heat. Also ice gels probably do well to help with that

[@TheCnoonan123]

Pogi chill

[@charlesblithfield6182]

POG and several other top riders have reignited for me a deeper interest in bike racing much like Armstrong did back in the day. I know because of new testing protocols they are not using any PEDs but I still pray this is so.

[@milhouse53]

Tadej and Remco conspired against Jonas. Tadej attacked and made Jonas work hard to respond just to reveal that he was tired and then Remco attacked him.

[@rainingtacos5879]

Easier said than done, but it seems possible at this rate and level Pogacar can win 5-6 stages a year for the next 4-5 tours and catch Cav....As long as it doesn't hurt his GC chances by over extending himself or putting himself in danger I hope he goes for it and doesn't continue to let people win stages when he's clearly the best out there. That said Chapeau Carapaz and gratz EF

[@ManWalksDogs]

given how dominant he's been, he's won 3 with 4 stages left. that's quite a big ask then to double up and sustain that doubling up without any new superpower coming through in the meantime over that time period. or any further injury setbacks etc. he'll get plenty more, sure, but not enough to top cav, not at that rate at least.

[@osfan25]

I wonder why Remco closed the final bit to Pogi on that descent? If I was Remco, that’s 100% Jonas’ problem. There was a section just before the crest of the mountain after Pogi attacked where he looked he was absolutely flying. Same thing with the final sprint.

[@ManWalksDogs]

he claimed in the post-race interviews that he was concerned about the gap to those below him on gc, but that doesnt ring true, given the time advantage he has on them, and it felt more like he was seeing what time he could claw back on JV

[@squashduos1258]

A lot of people are saying 19 and 20 are going to be suited well for Jonas. So was 14 and 15? Do people really disregard Pogacar and his climbing that much? He's proven every year his explosiveness is insanely hard to keep up with inside 5km. Jonas grinds and Tadej attacks. He's a much more complete rider than Jonas. Tadej is what VDP and WVA wish they were.

[@mathiasmadsen1271]

It’s clear that Vingegaard is not on the level of Tadej this year. It’s just sad how a crash made this tour not so exciting compared to what it could have been. 2025 will be insane if all the gc guys manage to not fall and hurt themselves severely
