“Big ole cojones!” Yes, Matteo! Jonas is always honest and showed true heart today. Although he is 2nd this year, I still think he rode the best tour of his career this year. Showing his real emotion and dedication to his craft. Lookout next year!

[@jjlove2725]

Best tour of his career? Jeez dude the man came back from near death and literally made it competitive a little or else pog runs away with it. Lets come back next year and see how it goes.

[@EliphasDesni]

I will look Tadej next year for sure. Novim zmagam naproti!

[@rasmusbang6118]

@@jjlove2725 I think he meant "If was the most impressive performance of his career" which it might have been. 2nd after that crash with a stage win... Don't think anyone else would have been able to do that. :))

[@ElectrickSnow]

I think it's been demonstrated-in 2022 and 2023-that when Jonas and Tadej are both healthy and in top form, Jonas is the superior rider/climber. Big respect to JV for competing at all in this race after the injuries he suffered in April. The guy is heart and class all the way.

[@EliphasDesni]

[@Mike-zx1kx]

The TEAM and Jonas did GREAT! You can ALL be proud of yourselves!

[@dichaelovic]

Big Balls comment is from Remco saying Jonas has no balls not riding aggressive early in the tour, to everyone who didnt get the joke from Matteo.

[@GregBecker]

Jorgenson would have been better to describe Jonas as having a big heart - his rides have been gutsy, not ballsy. (Remco was correct to describe TP that way after the gravel stage.)

[@charlierennie9192]

@@GregBeckerno he wouldn’t. If Jonas attacked on that gravel stage or road with Tadej and remco then he wouldn’t have had big balls he would’ve just been stupid. That was a suicidal move for a 58kg climber to ride away with two of the best one day racers in the world.

[@alpsalish]

Problem is that Jonas has balls in his mouth from another rider not named Remco.

[@beneardley8875]

I think Jonas's second place has been undervalued at this race. To come back from his injuries and apply himself the way he has and to be as competitive as he has is incredible. Well done to Pog but Jonas was not at his best.

Anlke issues? Did anyone else pickuped up in that?

Yes. It's an issue he has,he is flexible but he needs muscles,after the crash he lost weight and muscular mass and the past days he was in pain.

Nobody will really know. Doesn't matter either.

great job Greg!

This statement from Remco will stay for decades on cycling folklore!

Pogi lost the TDF 2 years in a row to Jonas… even though he was the strongest (but not strong enough to beat the whole JV team) Can’t blame him for not ‘gifting’ anything to Jonas.

well it has always been man vs man in the end. This year Kuss would not have changed anything, Matteo is almost if not actually as strong.

[@jaspercanda671]

@TellusJD Kuss is still the better climber domestique IMO 🤔

[@electrvalencia]

Jonas fans stop complaining about tadej, Jonas say he will do the same if he is in tadej situation

[@FloBikes]

It's about Pogacar wanting to win and also do his job for the team he's paid to do. And remember Ving was attacking his teammate and race leader Kuss for stage wins in the Vuelta.

[@larshansen4557]

Ofcorce im vinge fan i dont complain lossing to the best , Jonas aiy complaining ether

Jonas had an ankle issue?

[@rejapgee]

Jorgenson deliberately passing Carapaz for max points (that meant nothing to him) over Turini was petty and unbecoming.

The wins are fine but UAE ran up the score. Not cool.

[@johnpurnell6898]

How did UAE run up the score? Quickstep drive the pace today, and Tadej is supposed to gift a stage? Yesterday their plan was to break make him suffer and hopefully isolate him. Last weekend he had to gain time - a lot of people, Jonas included said wait till the climbs that suit him and the third week. UAE clearly had a team designed for the mountains, and Visma was more for the flats. Sports are designed to crown champions - last I looked nobody remembers who got second place.
