All cycling races with POGACAR are pure fun..even the flattest pure sprinters stage can turn into something else with Tadej..this guy is really phenomenal..

[@doctornrsfnly]

Yep... That's exactly what everyone said in 2022.... Before the Granon... We said exactly the same thing in 2023... Before the climb to Courchevel... Tadej is an unbelievably talented rider, and he is the best man here, but this is a 3 week long race with a 2nd tier team.... Also TP will have 1hr+ less of recovery every race day than any man not in the Jersey or on the podium in this race... That is 7+ fewer hours to recover per week. 21+ less hours for the Giro... That can and will add up... Even for an athletic genius like Tadej Pogacar...

[@peterstricker1484]

He can win anything everywhere; climbs, sprints, TT's, stages, Tours, Classics and the Olympic Gold. Who can stop him?

[@mohammadtaufek5529]

At his age Geraint Thomas is the oldest guy in Ineos Team …. but his in another level to be competative able to race with younger rider…. hats off to Big G …🫡

[@ridingwithpoksie]

G is one of my favorite persons in Cycling. always fun to listen to his interviews. lol

[@chrisgeorge9205]

he is a genuine bloke!

[@MEB939]

Honoré is class. Well done him, he was hoping to make history today and he has even without winning, this stage finish is an instant classic and he started the action. Good luck to him 🤞🏼

[@beautyandthebeast2740]

Amazing, still catching his breath, pretty much the same questions but different replies. What an ambassador for the sport

[@swisstopia]

That’s exactly why we like Tadej…”He’s like a little kid having fun on a bike.” Mikkel Honnore

[@albertosantangelo6872]

Pog needed some zone 6 effort after the poor performance of yesterday

[@LoZANOfab]

1 - Mr G. Thomas is way more spectacular and performing that when he was in his prime ! 2 - this is the answer to people who say that Pogi is boring 3 - Honorè is an example of the pure puncher

[@simon6495]

No one says pog is boring. nobody being able to challenge him usually can be a bit boring.

[@danielakerman8241]

Who exactly says that Pogi is boring?

[@peterkariuki5140]

Pog playing games now even with sprinters 😅😅

[@riccardosunda5176]

Making a fool of himself, good job 👏

[@tommyrq180]

Love Honore’s perspective. “That’s why we love him. He’s just a little kid having fun on a bike.” Great to watch, too. 😊

[@alpsalish]

He certainly was not playing games with the sprinters as it was pretty obvious he was going to be caught but it's still fun that he's pushing even in those scenarios.

[@leangrypoulet7523]

37 year old keeps up with 25 year old. Great job G. 🤘

[@FloBikes]

Rock on!

[@allan4922]

The Talented Mr Freibe 😂

[@tomshaw5435]

800-900 watts for a minute and gets dropped 😳😂

[@swisstopia]

G’s a classic!

[@tillbuschmann7222]

top bloke

[@zafiradossantos1930]

I really hope ef can get a stage win, they finish a great job on the vuelta femenina whit the girls

[@SteveNinetyski]

Yea...who cares about the girls race in the 21st cenrury if we are honest? A few die hard fans, family, friends and some pc flag flyers but aside from that, almost no one. Just spittin facts.

[@808matson]

@@ChuckWind-SawRrelax, nothing to get excited about

[@frankmcquade992]

It hurt tho'😂

[@Simonewhitesim-1music]

Now joking about that. haha.

[@richiejames928]

This attack will effect G. he won’t recover from it like Tadej will. That’s just an age thing. fun to watch tho

[@SteveNinetyski]

That will fire G up and give him some confidence. He is a born competitor on the bike. He won't beat Tadej..but it is hard to measure anyone against him really. I personally hope G just has a blast and see if anything special can be sparked from those lil legs of his👍

[@glennoc8585]

If G gets a stage win or a podium place at the end that will be great

[@richiejames928]

@@glennoc8585 yeah G does deserve a few stages and he does deserve another grand tour. but sadly age doesn’t stop and this is tadej era.

[@salahisthegoat8537]

evrry cycling fans knows pogi would liturally do anything just to get a few bonus seconds lol

[@skoromoh_]

Is it legal Pog in power for all stage? :)

[@revelationdetailers894]

Amazing given the age difference.
