[@pgy8863]

Tadej did an amazing TT, even with the errors of a bike change. Jonas was on another planet, smart, focused and prepared. I bet he had this stage circled from the time the race was announced. He has really quietly progressed from one of the top-tier riders to certainly on par with the amazing (press-friendly and lovable) Tadej. I'm pleased that Chris has recognized this, but don't forget the way he has handled the pressure through all the days of this tour, his consistency, his bend-but-not-break mentality (maybe learned from Primoz). Yes, an amazing performance by both protagonists after 2 weeks of mind-bogglingly amazing performances. And I still put Tadej and Jonas pretty much on the same, astronomical level. We're not settled yet, but, it's Jonas'/TJV's to lose. One thing was curious about today's time trial at UAE. I quote Cycling News' most excellent feed: Here's what Mikkel Bjerg [UAE] had to say about the bike change and the climb... "If it didn't make any sense we wouldn't try the bike change. There's a lot of headwind on the last part of the climb so you don't go that fast. Maybe that also favours the road bike over the TT bike." Doesn't that logic seem to point to an even stronger case to use a TT bike? It seems that UAE made up their mind about switching bikes and were reaching for anything to support it. In any case, if Tadej hadn't changed bikes he still would have likely lost almost a minute. Great analysis as always Chris! It's been a Tour for the archives. Never seen one better!

[@aocdk840]

@ChrisHornerCycling few added notes :) they changed the corner in the beginning by moving the barriers, bacause of the chrashes, this is why later starting riders was not on the white paint. Colnago TT bike is 2kgs!! heavier than tje 6.8kg weight limit, sure this is why they changed bikes. Thanks for awesome energetic recaps!

Jonas is what it looks like when a singular focus is winning the TdF. He's said it every time he's had the chance this season, his focus is the TdF. I don't think he cares if he wins another race this season as long as he wins this Tour. The man has an iron will for sure. As for Tadej, he looked tired.

I think Jumbo paid WVA a bonus to sandbag the first half of the TT, to "head fake" TP into thinking he was doing great. ("Good job Tadej, you're ten seconds up on Van Aert. Now you're 20 seconds up . . .") At one point, Phil Ligget and Bob Roll stated unequivocally that WVA could not catch Remi Cavagna.

[@5508Vanderdekken]

[@drkrutz]

What a great perspective this is! Of course that's what Jumbo did. Never thought of it, but it makes total sense now you're saying it. If true a super cheeky move by Jumbo.

[@meibing4912]

I don’t think WVA underplayed his hand (I also gave this a thought though) - and Pogi did afterwards say he felt he was doing really well at first getting time up on WVA - but then he got Vingegaard’s time… must have been a brutal psychological blow. His performance was still excellent - he never folded, but one rider was just a lot better today.

[@MrBradfordchild]

Underated comment.This wouldn't surprise me. It seems a lot of people forget what an incredible TEAM JV are!

[@MDP1702]

More that J-V's strategy was to launch the first climb (at least with Jonas, WVA seemed to kept something back), recover on the downhill and flat and then gas it on the last 6km uphill. WVA probably kept something in reserve because he knew this TT was on the edge of his ability vs pure climbers.

[@michaelwhitby6748]

[@kenrodriguez3067]

Ok Chris, I have so many thoughts about this stage I don't know where to begin. Going into it the most I could have hoped was that JV would limit any loss in time to a few seconds or at worst give up the yellow jersey and only trail by a few seconds. All this because we've seen what TP can do in an uphill TT. What we saw today was astounding. I don't want to say incredible because that would cast doubt on what all saw. JV demolished the field by a whopping minute and 30 seconds. I and I'm sure alot of folks didn't think he had that in him. We truly witnessed the arrival of a special type of cyclist. Can he repeat the performance? Only time will tell. And you're right, changing bikes for such a short uphill effort that eases at the top was a Knucklehead move on TP's part. Great analysis as always Chris!

[@solidbrass79]

I don't know why people didn't consider the TT last year. JV was on his way to a crushing victory when he had a close call with 3 km to go and eased up so WVA could get the win. He was clearly a minute better than Pogacar last year. Why wouldn't he be this year, when he clearly is stronger and Pog had the injury bothering him and costing him 20 training days?

@@patpat8727 well Jonas did gain 33 seconds from the last time check, so that would be around 64 seconds, but the Cervelo TT bikes that TJV use are much lighter than the Colnago TT bikes used by Team UAE, you saw the way Jonas was able to ride that thing on the downhills & curves, like a skier or a race car, there was a ton of added performance advantage in the TT bike, so on equal bikes & without the bike change, I would say the advantage would've been 30 to 40 seconds, just a guesstimate of course.

[@SuperOCHomes]

Pogacar was on the hoods? If you are in a time trial on a road bike, shouldn't you be in the drops at least? Could they not add aero bars to his rig?

[@meibing4912]

No aero bars on the road frame allowed. I ride 80% of the time in the aero bars and often get a bad call when riding in a group because people see it as less safe but after 15 years my aero bars skills are only second to Vingegaard’s 🙃.

[@danielpotkalesky3960]

Great episode, got a question if you don't mind. Is a bike throw definitely faster or is it just done because it feels faster? I honestly can't tell after years of watching cycling

[@rossmurray6849]

The physics of bike throw relies on the centre of gravity of the rider plus bike rolling at an almost constant speed so manipulating the bike so that the front wheel is further in front of the centre of gravity will gain some time. Against that is the potential to lose time because the rider isn't pedaling all the way to the line. If the rider gets the timing right a bike throw will save some time but it's clearly possible to get it wrong.

[@meibing4912]

It’s a clear advantage if you time it right. Sprinters practice it for the same reason. Easy to do yourself btw. Just try it.

[@rossmurray6849]

Have a look for the photo finish for stage 19 of the Tour. The body of Asgreen was clearly ahead of Mohoric but superior technique of the bike throw gave him the stage win.

[@Goswen]

Love it Chris :)

[@mikedittsche]

Phenomenal TT by Jonas Vingegaard. Pogacar was really good except for the knucklehead bike change. But while Pogacar took this stage like any other stage, you could tell that Jonas came prepared. Grisha Niermann the JV director sportif said they practiced this stage as early as April. And Danish reporters have seen Jonas yesterday morning and on the rest day repeatedly train the difficult turns and corners. That is dedication and professionalism. You could tell right away that he knew every bend and corner of the stage by heart like formula 1 drivers know a course. And Jonas has a perfect aero position. That isn't just by pure chance that is hours spent in the wind tunnel. And while anyone can assume an aero position, it takes months or years of training to be able to maintain such a position comfortably while performing. Again, dedication and professionalism. This makes a #1 rider, this makes a champion. Hats off to Jonas, what an incredible display of dominance in an incredible edition of the TdF!

Nice ranking shift - better timing than the bike shift! On DK TV Vingegaard was asked the day before if he expected the TdF to be decided by seconds. To my big surprise his answer was: No, it’s not going to be seconds after the next next three days. Being his understated himself this was in fact saying “I’m going to put serious time into Pogi on the time trail & next mountain stage”. No way did he believe the difference would be this large, but during the TT was he was smoking those corners like no one else. Even at the first bend off the ramp he’s 2 sec up on Pogi!

YA I counted about 15 seconds for pogo to get back to racing speed during the change.

[@ericvonhellens8822]

Does that include slowing down and the swap or just the acceleration? Küng lost a lot of time as well.

​@@ericvonhellens8822 7" standstill

[@teresabrown2782]

"knuckleheadism" I love you and your excitement!

[@AutiSam1974]

Genius Darth Vader moment!! 😂 I love the little comedy flourishes you guys do ☺☺☺☺☺

Pog didn’t even try to get aero on his regular bike. He could have at least dropped down on his bars.

The POC TT helmet helped the Danish team pursuit establish world records.

Never watched you before but that roast on the Darth Vader helmet had my DYING. When I saw it y'day during the TDF I couldn't believe my eyes 😂😂 and to hear you going to town roasting the fk out of it was great ahhaah

[@mahparraXyt]

🎉 great to be surprised!

[@AlanForkosh]

A fun fact: Ineos (Sky) has only missed the podium twice since 2012 (2014 and 2020). Actually, 2020 was a close case since Porte had 'Team Sky' in his blood. The battle for 3rd will be interesting.

[@recrevs963]

Yeah looking forward to that and polka dot now that today happened. Well lets see tomorrow very steep finish

What exactly is on JV's back in the picture at 12:30? It looks like an "airfoil" under his TT suit.

[@counselor5286]

wind drag has to be huge per CH so you may be on to something.

Wow! What a ride by Jonas! No bike change and no Spaceballs helmet for him, lool! Great job Chris!
