Kuss and Kruiswijk are missed, and WvA has trained to be the best he can in the classics which were his main goal this year so don't expect him to be good in the high mountains like he once was. Still, it's just the start of the tour. Kelderman isn't Kuss, but also always has his best week at the end if he stays on his bike long enough. And Mateo will I think grow a bit, but even if he doesn't it's his debut so I don't expect him to fill Kruiswijks shoes right away.

I think Jonas is getting into form. So for the 2 half I think he will be better. And the last 3-4 mountainstages is in the south so they might get really hot.

It’ll either be Visma or Red Bull in the upcoming years that’ll truly fight them in terms of top tier riders. Visma ain’t got the DS though, so it’ll probably be Red Bull.

Couldn’t disagree more on the single chainring. I have two bikes, one with single, one double, and the double definitely performs way better on hilly terrain. The smaller jumps between gears makes a huge difference in being in the right gear and cadence all the time. In a single, you spend more time in no-man’s land between gears and that’s extremely unwise when every pedal stroke counts.

@buzzman4860 3 ай бұрын

he was dropped on the descent for 2 reasons: Tadej weighs more than Jonas, and being a smaller person Jonas has less total power. Watts per Kilogram mean nothing on a downhill. It's total watts. What was keeping Jonas close for a little while is that he can corner better than Tadej but weight and power won out.

Spoken too soon. This is not the first time Pogacar has come into the first week of the Tour fighting full blast... only to be depleted--relative to Vingegaard--in week three. That is far more likely this year because he has had very little time to recover since the Giro. Everyone expected Tadej to be ahead after Stage One, and Stage Two was perfectly suited to Pogacar's style and performance. Bingegaard does better with long series of high mountains, which will come in two weeks, by which time Jonas will be even stronger post-Basque-crash than he clearly already is (to everyone's surprise). Visma is definitely missing Kuss and Van Aert is not yet as good as expected, but the latter should also gain progressive strength during the race as well, and I think thus far, UAE has not been as stellar as one would expect on paper.

Boring boring boring. They have just been socializing and posing for the cameras.

@@MarvinWestmaas He got 10sec on Jonas after ~800m of a climb/attack, if a climb was longer he would have put even more time into Jonas today. Hell even Remco was starting to catch up with Jonas at the top, but then lack of his downhill skills came into play.

@@dynamo6735 It was the other way around, Jonas kept a steady 10s gap till the top but lost on second stage of the descent because Pog has the advantage of weight. The climb was much longer, Pog didn't attack sooner because he didn't think he could make more time if he did or he would have. You can try to bend reality into any shape you find more appealing, it doesn't change how it looks to others ;)

@@MarvinWestmaas I was reffering to Remcos downhill skills and him losing time against Jonas (he was +4-5sec at the summit to Jonas), not Jonas to Pogi, its clear to everyone that Pogi gained on downhill since he weighs more and has bigger overall power output. Pogi didnt attack earlier because there was headwind, and the early part of the climb wasnt steep enough/person behind him would have lot more benefit because of slipstream. Im not bending reality, you should just work on your reading comperhansion ;)
