[@marktrans235]

The difference between the two is that if Pogacar gets dropped he loses a minute +, if Vingegaard gets dropped it’s about seconds. We’ve seen this in this years tour too.

[@toao9]

Like last year Jonas Vingegaard is just on another level in the last week. I don't think Tadej can beat him in a Grand Tour, if they both go for it 100%. All other races that dont go on for 3 weeks, Tadej is probably better.

[@lesflynn4455]

Watching this on the second rest day, Pogi really needs to smash the stage 16 TT if he wants to win. I've never seen a Tour with the main protagonists so evenly matched. It's an amazing race to watch. A privilege really. This quality is a rarity.

[@paulsolon6229]

You miss the biggest point: pogacar didn’t train as wanted for this yrs tour, wrist. In the last few days of the tour the q is: does his lack of prep mean he fades? History shows that non prepped athletes fade in the tour. We will see what happens, maybe he can overcome that issue.

[@tonyg3091]

Eh... don't know...he looks stronger but one bad day can f*ck everything. That goes to Jonas as well of course. But to say that either of them will win for sure would be a bit premature at this point.

[@TheNyxmaster]

What's more impressive about Tadej Pogacar, is that he seems to have progressed a lot this year : when he attacks in a climb, he systematically put a gap between him and Jonas Vingegaard who has no interest to give up few seconds every now and then... He looks mentally stronger than his opponent and to have a real grip on his team. I won't be surprised if tomorrow or the day after he blows the race up and leave Vingegaard 2 or 3 minutes behing in a single stage.

Jonas also did an incredible time trial effort that showed he is the stongest rider and can win without Primo, Sepp, and Wout's help. Jonas also has a VO2 max on the same level as Miguel Indurain. Hearing Tadej say "I'm done. I'm dead" is so heartbreaking for Tadej fans.

[@torben777]

This will be decided on the TT. They are too closely matched this year to drop the other by minutes on a mountain stage. I would give Vingegaard a slight advantage on the TT based on the last TT the 2 last years, but it will be close. Pogocar is better this year.

[@sebastiangillesberg]

Nah he is not

[@raunefare]

If it wasn't for Vingegaard he would for sure beat lance record. But they are so close so winning is far from a given. And he couldn't drop Vingegaard on the last climb Vingegaard even seemed to have more. Can't wait to see them going head to head on the time trial

I think it's a big mistake by Jumbo visma, Not having Roglic on the team. Roglic is the only one strong enough to match the other two on his best days, I don't see any of the other JV riders strong enough to help Jonas tiring out Tadej. I think Jonas is collecting all his strenght to drop him once and for all. He has 3 chances left, If he does not succeed any of them, Pogačar will definetely win the tour. Even though im from Denmark, I actually really don't care who of the two wins. Can't help myself rooting for Pogačar anyway!.

Pogacar has more tools and is a much better athlete overall. Vingegaard can match Pogacar in the TDF only through careful planning and pacing. And it's not even clear if he can do it without such a strong team and an overconfident Pogacar. Pogacar races to win, year 'round. And to come back like this after recovering from a serious fracture is already extremely impressive.

[@TheRealDuckofDeath]

Vingegaard won the Criterium weeks before TDF started. He's also won three events this year. They are extremely closely matched riders, Pogacar got a bit more sprint, Vingegaard got a bit more stamina. The differences are quite minimal and it is true the differentiator can definitely be team tactics, like it was in 2022. I wouldn't write off Vingegaard based on Pogacar's past. Vingegaard is also a young rider evolving hard every season. His stamina is definitely paying off on time trials, which often turn out to be deciders in TDF.
