Almeida is in the Tour team to ride 200m behind the GC group on the climbs. In case Pogi punctures, he can take Almeida's bike, the other GC contenders, should they puncture, have to wait for their team car which can´t be right behind the GC group, because of blocking Almeida ;)
That is a gross strategy hahaha
Leaving a lone rider in the wind in hopes that someone punctures? If Almeida is strong enough to do that on every climb, why not just put him off the front for the gc? I mean, he would be working harder than any other rider on every climb every day.
it’s a joke …
😂
@mehtabsingh8131 omg so sorry.
Assuming Jonas is at the TdF, UAE would be crazy to not pressure him right out of the gates and fatigue him. There's no level of training he can be doing to be ready for 3 weeks. I think he can get 1-2 weeks, but not a full 3 unfortunately. If they succeed in hammering himi and getting Pogi the lead after first 4 stages, Pogi could in theory just play defense (if he can hold himself back), and just tempo the tour to a win. IF that happens, he's now fresh and not wrecked for late season racing.
This is what I'd want to see. I actually want Pogi to win all 3 grand tours, Worlds, and Olympics, have this be the most ridiculous season ever in history, and then let him snipe whatever he wants for the rest of his career. If he wants to have Colnago build him a BMX bike and go that route, go for it. Cross? Sure. Trials riding? Go. He'll have proven his point as the greatest ever to me.
Pogaçar doing trials would be awesome
I love the Colnago BMX idea 😂
I tell you I'd love to see him to do all what you say. If he wins Tour go for the Vuelta. At least attempt it. No guarantee he'll win but also you don't know if he'd ever do the Giro Tour double again. So if he wins the Tour I think do Vuelta one time
My prediction is that Jonas realizes he's not in shape and healed and skips the Tour and goes to La Vuelta, Pogacar wins TDF and also goes to La Vuelta to try to win all three, and Jonas wins.
Hate to agree. I agree. Jonus at TDF fresh to win vs Pog. Nope.
Good comment
i want pogi to win the tripple tbh
Pogi said that he doesn’t do the Vuelta
@@pizzan4236 no he said its wishfull thinking but he didnt deny it
I think it will be harder for Pogi to win Worlds than to win the Tour.
true
who are the favorites there
@@yesno9374 think he is too heavy
Bad take.
@@nikgracanin6180 okay, but why?
I don't know what I think myself, but why is it a bad take?
Nothing is going to stop Pogacar this year. He's on a mission, and we haven't seen the best of him yet. Strap in guys. you're about to witness history in the making
Thumbnail go crazy
Agree with LR. Win the tour you have to go for it! (Vuelta).Think about the legacy he would leave.
It shouldn't be possible, at least Vuelta others should be fresher and able to beat him. Tour is hopefully a lot harder on Pogacar than Giro, with other teams at least trying to beat him. Have another 3 week peak after that, that's asking too much I believe.
I'm surprised UAE not taking Majka to the Tour. He's twice won the Mountains classification at the Tour and him and Pogačar work well together. Not saying the same can't happen with Almeida, Ayuso and Yates but I think would have helped if Majka there
Majka has one tour in his legs and the next tour has hardest 3 last stages. It would be risk to expect Majka to help Pog in thos elast 3 stages. Its better to take someone more fresh like Yates.
@fangru7294 fair enough
LRCP FTW!!
Liking your enthusiasm aha
This year Jonas can't counter Pogacar even if he's 100%! After Javier Sola replaced Inigo San Millan as a coach Pogacar was out of this world. No way anyone can rival Pog this year. Remco on WC maybe but it's a stretch.
pog for the tripple👀
I like Remco and all, but I think Pogi could comfortably beat him on one leg in any competition. Jonas is likely not going to be in full form come TdF, so Pogi seems to be the only candidate to win, even if he's not fully recovered (which I highly doubt) from the Giro. I'm really hoping that Jonas can surprise us to keep things interesting, otherwise, it's a fight for 2nd place at the TdF. The Vuelta seems like a harder feat for Pogi, in comparison, as Jonas could actually be in full form by then.
I mean that battle for 2nd place between Roglic, Jonas and Remco would still be fire... we would have all time dominance in Pogi and greatest competion for 2nd place from three greats. We are for the quite ride this year.
Definitely too much focus on Remco. Also, there will be other riders that we don't have on our radar yet.
The Tour always delivers drama, so I wouldn't rule any surprise out.
But yes, on paper Pogacar is the main favorite with Vingegaard in close second. He will have the best imaginable support for his recovery and if he is competing at the Tour he will be going for the win. They won't bring a 90% Vingegaard.
I personally do not expect anything from Roglic. He will be a top 5 contender at most.
Beat him on one leg in any competition? That's a bit disrespectful isn't it.
Jonas should skip the TDF and then go win La Vuelta
He can ride until stage 4. If he does bad, he can always bail out with "kneepain" 😅
@@Eirikkinserdal I doubt they would use a bs excuse...everyone knows his injuries.
Sure, they would know if they should send him or not the week before.
@@Eirikkinserdal The team surely will, but sponsor will Want Jonas there.... a lot of money for him NOT to ride. Just saying.
Julian for Worlds, again ?
It all depends on how easy/hard/ if at all he wins the Tour. And also who is doing the Vuelta. If the field is same as the Giro he could win it at 70% of his best.
Pogačar has said no to the Vuelta this year. I'd love to see him race all 3 grand tours maybe that will happen down the line in a non Olympics year but otherwise he said negative to all 3 grand tours this year
Now that Patrick is confirmed to officially be part of VLAB from October - what will happen to the podcast?
Nothing! :)
this tour is a 2020 rematch between Pogacar and Roglic
Pogi said he doesn’t do the Vuelta
No. Jonas will ride the Vuelta and he will be well prepared and well rested for it unlike Tadej, who will be tired.
Remco is not a competitor at the Tour for Pogacar by any stretch of anyone's imagination.
Let's talk about the third win when he wins the second.
I think you are underestimating vingegards injuries. There is no way he is winning the tour. Surprising he is even going
If Pogi wins the Giro-Tour-Worlds triple crown this year, he's the best of all time idc idc idc. The talent and racing level right now is the best it's ever been. We are in the golden era of road cycling with so many incredible talents, and Pog is still so superior. I don't care that a Froome has more GC wins, Pogi's mix of climbing, TT performances, and monument victories is unmatched. Don't talk to me about Merckx, he was riding against meth head factory workers.
GCs are just matter of time. There is no way that Pog finishes his careerwith same or less than Froome.
I agree so much. People go on about “pogacar has absolutely nothing on Merckx” blah blah blah, they are literally delusional, you literally cannot compare the two eras to each other, when Merckx raced you could smash a couple beers the night before, smoke a cig on the start line nd go compete for the podium with a training routine consisting of “just ride in your biggest gear up the hills bro” now if your not a top 0.001% genetic outlier your not even in the competition, yet pogacar still looks like he’s an adult racing juniors
Lead-out of Kristoff should be DSQ and penalized with a fine or something. In this way, the others cannot do their sprint.
I love him, but I really don’t understand why remco is always in the conversation for competing for the tour 🤷🏻♂️ he needs a few more wpkg for me, and also needs to get better at long climbs in high mountains. Yes he won the Vuelta, but GTs now are a different ball game. No one is on the level of Pog and Vingo
The problem with world is Pogacas has a strong team in theory but in reality. The Slovenian tactical approach is always so bad at the biggest stages that Pogi will need to do it on his own. Talking as a Slovenian an a fan of the sports watched them in every major competition. DM's are not up to the standard.
Worlds is one day race
You don’t say
Triple crown in the only one definition is giro TdF vuelta... Wuci champs and Olympics sad but true are not in the context or conversation
In the tour when the last uae rider goes, and pogocar goes it’s not going to be the giro, he’s going to have company, he has been trying to drop Jonas for 2 tour’s, then it gets to the third week, that gets in porgies head, has happen 2 tours in a row, if Jonas is in top shape he will drop pogocar in the third week again,
1. Pogacar is even stronger this year
2. Jonas will be far weaker due to awful build up
Therefor pogacar wins the tour
He already said that he wont be in Vuelta.
Alright, In terms of TdF, i dont think he can win this time again lol. Hes way too greedy and prolly gas out again just like this past 2 years.
I still dont think he can hang on Jonas wheels since this years TdF is for Jonas. An 80% healthy Jonas slaps him again.
😂😂😂😂 yeah right
@@tonyg3091 im pogacar fan bro but, jonas will put 7mins plus again on him. The only hope of Tadej is the Stage 9 gravel sector.
@@jackal6234 Not gonna happen
@@tonyg3091 how
Hahaha your mental if you think an out of shape Jonas slaps him, pogacar this year at the giro is another 2 levels higher then last year, Jonas is going to be two levels lower, last year with the exception of 1 insane good day for Jonas and 1 insane bad day for pogacar, they were neck and neck, if Jonas isn’t in shape he’s going to have 10 mins put into him and completely crack
No
Stop it. Pogi won't do the Vuelta.
Isn't the real 'Triple Crown' the Road, CX & MTB World titles, like PFP in 2014/15? So no, he can't.
Yes he can win every GT this year but even he knows that its meaningless this year since that crash in the Tour of Basque took out almost all the Galactico level of climber that are his peers and this year’s Giro showed that it was a cake walk for him with no serious opposition.
Jonas’s injuries are major and worse than the gullible press desperate for copy is willing to accept.
The fact is this year’s TDF is a wash at Galactico level. VSL should end the charade and send a strong experimental team to the TDF but no Jonas, and no WVA.
Give it to Pog as a processional win. If he is sensible Pog wont go either. Winning would be meaningless to him.
The real question is why was that crash in Tour of Basque allowed to happen?
how exactly is winning the TDF, the greatest and biggest race considered in the world, mean9ingless to win ??? and, i think that crash was allowed to happen because of the way of riding of the cyclists themselves, and because of the way that stage route course was built.
@@michealissa1638 The WT peloton is the best road cyclists in the world but within that elite group there always has been a tiny number of “Galactico” level riders who are consistently just that much better.
Right now for the one week and three week long Grand Tours, its Tadej, Jonas, Primoz, possibly Remco, and their respective supporting super domestiques.
For Tadej winning this year’s TDF will not be satisfying if the competition he really wants to beat is not fit and cannot possibly be race fit and properly trained due to their being taken out in a terrible crash in the Itzulia Basque Country.
The reason is that Pog is a true sportsperson and wants to win against his real competition which is Jonas and an on form VLB , Roglic while aging is still in the Galactico level and Pog will also want a fully on form Bora.
As to what happened in the crash there has been a conspicuous silence from the cycling world leadership almost a deliberate omertà.
To me an avid follower it looked like a crash due to an inattentive rider whose downhill skills and experience are so poor that he should not have been in the front group.
So yes Tadej will almost certainly win the TDF this year but for him it won’t be the prize he hoped for. If is the occasional news reports indicate Jonas’s injuries are such that he really won’t be at 100% this year then I firmly believe VLB should send a different team and pencil Jonas in for the Vuelta along with WVA.
@@epincion yeah oke, then in that case, i agree with you ofcourse, what you said is true, ofcourse.
Jonas will win the Tour again easily. Remember last year? The time trial? The "I'm gone"-quote? The boring last couple of days because of Jonas' dominance? Come on. If Jonas is just 90%, it is still enough. His rivals are tired from other races.
I don't know man, have you ever had a broken collarbone and ribs, and a collapsed lung before riding one of the hardest cycling race in the World 😅?
Cycling is a team sport and looking at a team visma have vs UAE... Jonas could quickly be isolated in mountain stages while UAE still have yates, ayuso, almedia pulling... Could easily be the tipping point
Don’t forget Tadej Pogacar is better this year, and the Jumbo team is weaker.
No way, the doping protocol of Jonas is still above the one of Pogi boy. His team is close but not yet there.
Rabobank's doping regime was always more effective than Saunier Duval's.
How do you know? Have you been present when they are doing the doping control?
Already starting the excuses even when Jonas had such a crash?
