Televised training is the best way to put this Volta a Catalunya

[@J-cz7yv]

You mean to say that no is actually racing? Idk Nic, that’s not really fair to everyone in the competition

[@greghavard72]

I wouldn't call stage 2 televised😂

[@octavelapize6657]

yep and thats what the giro will look like. Pogi doing intervals

[@AP-wd6dv]

Gonna be like this in every race until he races vingegard, roglic, or a good remco

a grand tour is something different than 1 or 5 days of racing though. Lets hope the team fixed the last week dip.

[@bbuuttercupp]

was so good to see Landa cooking today, he was really strong. Let that man into the kitchen ! Tadej of course in stellar form, too. I know it's early but I do think he's taken a step up compared to last year, it's making me very excited for that TDF battle.

[@Dieterdde]

Comparing to Paris Nice, I wonder if Landa is stronger than remco atm, in the mountains. I'm not sure Remco would have been ahead of Landa today if they weren't team mates of course.

[@pythor2117]

100% agree. Landa is also probably a more consistent climber than Remco (as we saw last year in the vuelta)

[@bbuuttercupp]

​@@Dieterdde I think about this as well - I think it's hard to judge this early of course but I do think Landa is so, so strong especially in the third week. That performance on Angliru from him is always on my mind.. I could see them trying to keep Landa up there in GC while using him as superdomestique, much like UAE did with Yates last year, and for the case that Remco isn't as consistent

[@zdendkstoubar4925]

@@Dieterdde Remco still seems on that strange thing where he comes a bit overweight in order to maximise his performance in the time trial, and then hopes to lose the extra weight before comes mountain time. Didn't work last year but maybe I see how it could work on a three weeks race, but there's no way it works in a one week race. Although, I think he is more likely equipped than Landa in mountain too just because of his ability to explode. Landa might be better in steep gradiants and all that right now, but the new meta seems to be to be able to have quick insane bursts and sustained efforts on long climbs, and to be able to go all out in the last kilometer in easier climbs to put time into the rest of the field, and I don't see Landa being explosive enough to compete with the Vingegaard/Pogacar/Roglic in that type of efforts, at least not as well as Remco.

[@Diego.fromheaven]

@@zdendkstoubar4925 Saying Remco is overweight is mental.

[@ShawnIsBatman]

It seems like Pog is providing his answer to the recent Jonas V training ride (race) from Spain. I hope that everyone stays healthy for a true showdown at the TdF.

[@Dieterdde]

It's crazy how far ahead Pogi and Jonas are compared to Rogla and Remco. Right now they're in another league. Hope the latter get better by TdF otherwise it will just be the Jonas vs Pogi show...

[@martinhh763]

Thats just peak commentary when Landa drops Kuss.

[@h31sman]

Seeing him split away so easily always makes me want to ride my bike. Dude is a machine.

[@GMeazza]

I'm starting to think the giro won't affect him much. Given his competition there he can do a couple of stages hard then just sit on it. Once he has a 2 mins or so the rest of the field won't bother attacking for 1st, it'll be like his 2nd TDF win. So 2 hard efforts and 19 days of training for TDF.

[@johnpurnell6898]

I said this yesterday. Get past Stage 10 with a strong lead and the rest of the stages will be recovery rides.

[@BreakawayB]

Nice to see Landa doing so well. 😍

[@kmiloknte]

[@recrevs963]

Your title sums it up well. the way i see his schedule he won't get any significant resistance until LBL and TdF, meaning Giro should be his if he stays upright and does not go too crazy for 3rd week in the Alps. did Landa and Soudal make a mistake for even pacing this dude from 15km to go to 7,4km when he finally looked in his power meter and said I had enough of you Mikel?

[@Flakey101]

I do not think so. To me it seemed like the plan was to make it hard on every one else and secure second place, with a little test of Pog just in case, but not worried if he was still strong.

[@Queen-be6md]

They're not only racing tadej, the fight for top 10 is still on so you can't just let uae do everything just because the guy is miles ahead of everyone else.

[@jimihendrix731]

Both Pog and Jonas are on another level this year. The TdF is going to be amazing. Roglic unfortunately looks to be on the decline and Remco is just not good tactically and doesn’t have the team to support him.

[@xx765]

Remco's problem is that he lacks the consistency in 3-wk races. And you are right he is a bit too punchy and too trigger-happy sometimes. On a good day Remco might be on the same level as the two gods, but that's like 10% of his days. While the other two are almost always on that level. Of course Remco is extremely good at TT, but the other two are not too bad either...

I don't get why everyone still saying this every season... Pogi seems very strong but wasn't so easy today as he said, nobody could realy compete with him on this race so it doesn't mean so much. Sure he's from another planet and only him can perform like this during every race of the season, almost on any route. But Jonas is from another planet too, has proved he's the best on a 3 weeks race and he will not compete the Giro. So there's no way pogacar can be in shape to beat Vingegaard in France this summer.
