Tour de France 2024 Stage 11 Highlights

[@BenjaminKarslund]

What a comeback for Jonas Vingegaard 🇩🇰🫶🏼

[@steveeb9567]

Pogacar may win the Tour but Vingegarrd is an absolute legend to come back this strong from the serious injuries he sustained only months ago !

[@schmuwabu]

I don't think he will win. Vingegaard will beat him on the long climbs in the Alps

[@Berger090640]

Agreed. Mentally that's massive, especially the descents really.

[@sgguitar]

I think today showed that Vingegaard will win. When it goes up he is stronger. The 3rd week is all about that.

[@stephenkabiran9055]

Jonas is taking it

[@ongeeargos3621]

This coming weekend is the Pyrenees although UAE has the strongest team so far. The thing about Vingo is that he doesn’t get easily provoked by this team including Remco and wisely chooses when to make a move, he’s just biding his time!!

[@stefra8685]

Well done Jonas. So happy you're back

[@marcusschou1843]

Crazy part is that this is peak Pogcar and Vingegård only gets better and better from here. Imagine if he had not had the crash 2 months ago. This is insane from Jonas.

[@rlm4471]

@marcusschou1843 Whether Vingegaard gets better from here is an open question. If he were training, I'm sure that he would. However, he's in the TdF fighting off attacks from Pogacar, which could be too much at this point. If his base fitness isn't where it needs to be, he could blow up in the high mountains. I don't think he or anyone knows how it will play out.

[@juanesrita]

Imagine if the previous climb when Vinegard caught Pogacar had been with more lenght and wihouth a descent maybe Vinegard even take time to Pogacar.

Jonas is a legend. Pogacar is no where near if Jonas is 100%. He’s smart and very strong rider that i ever witness. No brainer Pogacar is in trouble this coming week. Showing some fatigue is a bad sign.

[@photoromo]

@@edymarkonthego4096 more like Jonas is nowhere near Pogacar if Roglic didn’t help him get back to Pogacar

Showing fatigue because he is heavier and pushed on his own.. vingegaard was able to preserve a lot of energy opposed to him since he had a bit of help. But im surprised pog sat down during the last sprint, he normally would have gotten him there

[@Jaskaran_Singh585]

I am a Pogi fan but the hate against Jonas makes me want Jonas to win the tour he is a very smart rider he doesn't attack unnecessarily like someone who said he doesn't have balls where he can't see him at the finish with Jonas 😂

Im startin to question and wonder where are those balls we were talking about, Mr Remco?

[@santiagocardonaortiz2816]

Same question I had. 🤣

[@fixfaxerify]

They were weighing him down

[@anaconda27975]

Remco, the rider with the biggest mouth of them all, as soon as the riders who prefer speaking with their legs accelerate uphill. Remco cries for his mother.

[@TellusJD]

They were definitely there but the weight of them made it hard to climb, though but helps on descends and flats with that extra bag weight.

[@renzohorner2542]

You can say what you want about Remco, but in the end: he is a double world champion, european champion, double Monument and Grand tour winner. Vigo is only focusing on the TdF. So yeah, I say Remco has the bigger balls

[@alessandrodorsi9800]

Vingegåard ' s comeback is like Adonis Creed ' s win against Viktor Drago after being hospitalized because of Drago's blows during fight 1 . All this with a substantial difference : Vingegåard is a real character

[@Math-Angel-global]

Look closely. Pogacar attacks. Jonas, unlike usual, is NOT glued to the wheel. Instead, he is looking at Roglic. Attacking and chasing come with enormous energy expenditure, negatively influencing all the coming stages. Instead, Jonas smartly worked together with Roglic, avoiding going above the FTP threshold for too long.

[@freenational]

He is wondering if Roglic also have a motor but looking at how he got dropped even though he was off his saddle says it all.

[@CaminoCarpet]

Speculation is UEA went 100% in the 1st week to gain a time cushion because they fear Visma in the mountains in the 2nd and 3rd weeks. Looks like,so far, they might have much to fear. Pogacar was gassed running on empty, Jonas looked like he still had starch in his legs

[@rumpwrangler1102]

Pog was running on empty? If so then how was he on Jonas’s wheel at the line

Vinegar is just a plain boring rider. His winnings were based on the team and chances only. Over all TP is way better rider toe to toe

[@rlm4471]

​ @alexanderdeguzman-yj7rz Totally agree that Pogacar is a more exciting rider. However, you don't win the TdF by putting on a show for the fans. It's a game of chess. If you want to see racing where riders win by pure balls and willingness to suffer, you should focus on the spring classics. I think they are way more fun to watch than the big grand tours, where performances are usually much more measured due to the need to conserve energy for later stages.

[@alexanderdeguzman-yj7rz]

@@rlm4471 That is a given fact. So basic. Pogacar is a complete rider. While Vinegar is just an ordinary rider stalking the strength of others and lucky that his winnings were based on some pure lack. That’s why TP is the best having a complete arsenal own his own. The other Vinegar lucky yo only

Agreed, if Jonas had dropped Tadej by that margin it would have been lights out for Pogacar. JV's ability to catch Tadej from that distance says it all about the difference between the two.

[@aaroncormero9827]

[@fabiocastro5225]

[@leecervelo1749]

Vinegarrd nice race 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@st14]

Bad tactics from UAE. Should have played it by the book, explode on the final climb, collect max bonus seconds there and no one would catch Tadej before the line. Went too aggressive exploding on the penultimate climb.

[@rlm4471]

It's easy to see it as a mistake in retrospect. I think Pogacar honestly believed that he could drop Vingegaard on the penultimate climb and then gain more time on the final climb. Not so much bad tactics as it is just Vingegaard being insanely strong.

[@BoxCarBoy12]

To me, people who think that the style of Visma and the Sky train from the Froome days are boring are the type that prefer form over function and care about flashiness over fundamentals. I'll always appreciate the most efficient and effective methods of racing regardless of aesthetics, and Jonas proved this stage that being conservative is key for long stage races. Yes it's entertaining when Pogi and Remco attack like 20 times in 10k, but every time they do so i can't help but think they're idiots for wasting so much energy

[@julianmorris9951]

Let’s hope jonas holds up and no problems occur from those injuries he sustained.

Without roglic's effort, Jonas wouldn't have been able to close the gap to Pog

You mean the few seconds on the downhill that roglic lead? you think jonas would drop a minute on a 5 k downhill? Jonas closed 35 seconds on 3-4 km on pogi when it went up.

[@LucasMogensenn]

Without roglic, Jonas would just have been picked up by the other group like they did anyway and still be 35 sec behind...

[@makafuniruni]

Guess Remco didn't have the balls to race today, oh well.. But what a stage! Jonas dropping Roglic and Evenepol twice from the wheel. Then go catching 30 seconds on Pogi just to outsprint him on the finish line. All of this on their terrain where he was expected to loose time. Absolutely incredible comeback!!
