Thanks!
Jonas might have won the Tour, but he won all our hearts when he waited for Pog.
how is that a "but" sentence?
@@youbetu18 LOL yes I was wondering about that...
@@youbetu18 ie he was the "bad guy" in the narrative and pog was people's pick for the win, but he "redeemed" himself by showing great sportsmanship. Pog is a a great showman and insanely intertaining to watch. Jonas is a lot more reserved and has a more measured racing style. I think most people would gravitate more towards Pog. I personnaly love them both to death, they compliment each other beautifully at the top.
May it be close and may the best man win!
not really. he just wait pog to suck his wheel. hahaha
@@blackdeadtiger what an idiotic comment. if he wanted to just suck the wheel he could have just continued in a chill manner and made pog work to catch up and then suck the wheel.
he *actually* waited.
Jonas waiting for Pog after he crashed is legit my cycling highlight for the whole year. not only dominating athletically, but also playing it straight and being a true sportsman. A true feel great moment.
and yet netfix didn't find it interesting enough for a sports docu/drama
@@andreaspanduro3986yes that decision is just unfathomable. I guess it didn’t fit into the narrative they were building or something
I agree, it was a wholesome moment in a crucial battle!
But my highlight last of years tour was Wout van Aert in the green jersey pulling Vingegaard to victory on the Hautacam-stage. Watching that green inhuman cyclingmonster, with his big frame and muscles all over, making that effort up that mountain, was just so awesome!
@@riverrageI guess Netflix didn’t want people to think that Jonas won the tour because Pogi fell down and was injured (even a small ‘crash’ can be terrifying for average people)
@@Steve-Riverwood watchin jumbo was so amazing i love pogi but man they truly did something special the highlights forgot how wild this tour was
YES! Build that hype. We are all here for it. Best cycling coverage bar none
Fucking oath !
Wout in Green pulling Jonas in Yellow away from Pogi in White on Hautacam is THE picture that perfectly represents the best Tour in decades, and perhaps this golden generation of cycling. Absolutely iconic, where were you moment.
I really hope we have a few great years of Pog and Vinge-gogo having battle after battle, where it's close the whole race and either could win. I remember Schleck and Contador having a few good tours where they were very closely matched. Last year was epic, we can only hope for more.
I tuned out of cycling recently and got into watching motorsports and esports apex legends and csgo. Boy am i glad i found out about this today, i never knew both 2021 and 2022 tours were this amazing. New names than to what i used to know and the level of cycling is just top notch. I am so glad to be back watching this is a new era indeed
Just coming back to this video after a while and the picture for me is 5:55. Pogi turning around to see four Visma riders ready to break him at any moment!
Seriously though - how in the world did the producers of the Netflix special not spend any time on that Pog crash / Vingegaard pulling up moment. Crazy. Was the most amazing show of sportsmanship I have ever seen in any sport. I remember being stunned watching it. After 3 long weeks ... ups and downs of previous clashes with Pog.... made me Jonas fan for life.
you never watched a netflix documentary before?
that is what they do. they write a script and choose scenes that fit the narrative. that scene didnt fit any of the stories they wanted to tell.
-> which is why it should not be called a documentary. its modern story telling. they dont lie but...
It's more common than you think in cycling. Wiggins waited for Cadel. Wiggins did not just wait, he urged the lead group to all wait. But yeh why would Netflix NOT include that in the TV series?
UAE refused to be part of the documentary. That’s why.
@@meibing4912 no its not. their team bus and internals weren't part of it. but the teams interviews and the on track action was 100% included. that would have been no obstacle whatsoever.
it wasnt in it because it didnt fit their narrative thats all.
Easy - Netflix are shit-stirrers that are hoping for more views by building tension and competition in a way that's reality TV-like. In actual reality, all of these cyclists are top dudes and have a lot of respect for each other, which doesn't quite sell as much.
I'm not even a cyclist, but watched the new Netflix documentary and searched out more cycling content on youtube. I found these Lanterne Rouge videos and now I'm properly hyped for the 2023 edition. But as someone still new to the sport, a lot of the terminology is confusing to me. I'd love to see a channel like this have a quick primer video on things like lead-outs, defensive satellites, punchers, etc... Unchained is going to bring a lot of curious people to youtube and I think Lanterne Rouge could get big numbers on a video (or series of videos) that lays out all the stuff Netflix kinda glossed over.
ouf. please, for the love of the sport, if you want to stick around, buy any tour de france history book and just read it. Thats literally what all cycling fans started with. they are kid friendly with lots of pictures and stories of the cycling legends. after that you will understand most of it and it will take you about 3 days to read in your free time.
that will give you more info than some dumb amateur youtube video done for clout. its collected and written by lovers of the sport. this channel here is amazing, but the content is cycling fan directed. not really newcomer friendly.
Try watching some of Chris Horner’s videoes - he goes deep into tactics etc. I do not always agree, but he argues his points so they are understandable to all.
You could also just google the various terms, that should lead you to online written primers/glossaries. And then just hang in there with this channel till it stops being confusing. Happens sooner than you think.
Maybe watch some older videos, especially the sprint stages. LR does the absolute best job of showing you how the teams establish their sprint trains with the leadout men. He does a lot of stop action and labels the riders so you know exactly what he is showing to you. He talks a lot about strategy and does his research to bring us what the teams are trying to do. You are lucky to have landed on LR, especially days before Le Tour starts. It is great that Netflix did something but they 100% skipped over the Green, White and Polka Dot jerseys.
@@youbetu18gatekeeping clown
I feel you missed the last TT. Where Jonas also showed to be strongest, slowing down on purpose on the last 2-3 km. And letting Van aert win by seconds but also still beating Pogacars time.
This certainly aged well. Maybe it was Overshadowed by Granon and all the other craziness, but that TT was an omen for 2023 and it seemed to have flown under the radar at the time.
Stage 11 of the TdF 2022 is the most memorable stage I have ever seen. It's the stuff of legends. First the picturesque Lacets de Montvernier, then the unbelievable one-two attacks from Roglic and Vingegaard, followed by the Galibier with Wout waiting at the top pulling Roglic back from behind in an insane downhill speed train, Pog smiling at the camera just before imploding and Vingegaard being reborn as the new cycling hero.
I agree with you but 2023 stage 16❤
I know what happened in this race, I listened to every stage recap pod, but this summary is still so enjoyable and beyond any other cycling media being produced currently. LR is producing some of the best media in sport let alone cycling, so thank you and keep doing what you do!
That 11th stage on col du granon gives me chills everytime. Insane stuff!!
I still can`t believe this stage when Jonas bridged forward to Wout and they dropped Pog in the climb. Never have seen a green jersey doing this much damage to a GC rider!!! Amazing performance of Jumbo Visma last year!
Yeah, this was the moment for me. Put this together some of the amazing and nuts stuff Wout did and his Tour was mind-blowing. I'd love to see a detailed recap and analysis of every thing Wout did.
this year Tiesj Benoot and Wilco Kelderman pull jonas in col de la loze...is pretty clear TJV has so much talent in terms of climbers and planning of strategy
Tadej and Jonas have brought back class that was missing (or hidden) for so long. Can't help but respect these champions.
yes
Honestly the Roglič-Vingegaard attacks were crazy. That team up would probably break anyone.
More relevant than Netflix. Better editing too.
Both Tadej and Jonas being extremely talented racers, it looks like the the descent made them both to feel the real edge of the risks they take and Pogacar accepted Vinegaard's victory overall.
Probably the moment when Tadej slipped off the tarmac and Jonas waited for him and the handshake was THE MOMENT of 2022 TdF.
Imagine a 3 horse race?!
WvA nearly stopping and falling over on the road after delivering Jonas on Hautacam was really underlining how deep his helpers dug to ship him up that final climb. How did van Aert even finish the stage after that :D
Doesn't matter who will win - we want an interesting sports show! (with minimum crashes!!!)
and no Covid Please
and maximum juiced up
as a slovenian and a pogi/roglič fan, i wish luck to all the riders, may the best win!
as a dane and a Jonas-fan I agree
Ahh last year was so great!!! I just can't get over the sportsmanship of Jonas waiting for Tadej! Ohh man! i still cry when i see that!! What a good man! And also Tadej that he gave his hand to Jonas! 😭🤩😍👏 That was just such a beautiful thing!
But this year i am counting down the days for July 1st!!! So unbelievable excited!!!
Thanks for this. The Netflix Special totally blew it, editing out all the excitement on the stage where the whole Jumbo team attacked Pogi relentlessly until he cracked on the final climb and Jonas rode into the yellow jersey. Nicely done.
I agree. That episode was one of the shortest ones of the whole thing for some reason - doesn't make sense with how much actually happened on that stage. No mention either of the bullet train that Wout was on the front of with the FDJ guys trying to bring Rog back (that clip of Pog & G looking back as Wout & co go screaming by was a highlight).
@@cdcoop0 Probably because it was a different narrative in the show. Like they focused a lot on like the underdogs. Like Thomas, who is old, the new younger guys. The French teams. Money. They did not actually focus that much on like the individual stages.
I really would have liked to know more about the economy of the teams 🤣🤣 Also, really enjoyed getting to see the less prominent riders and what their plans were.
Also, I would like to give that young English's speaking man a hug, who is on one of the french teams, when they only spoke french to him 🤣🤣
It is no coincidence, Jonas drops Tadej on big climbs. Whenever the road takes them above 1600-2000 meters, Jonas' performance hardly drops, whereas most everyone else's performance drops, incl. Tadej. This is the ONE advantage, Jonas has over Tadej. He's simply physically better in the high altitudes.
This years TdF doesnt have a lot of VERY high altitude climbing, stage 17 being the one stage to Courchevel where Jonas has a chance of outperforming Tadej, until then, Jonas needs to hang on for dear life, imho!
A nice recap though, I enjoyed it a lot! Looking forward to watching TdF 2023 with you :) 👊
Interesting point about the height. Personally I think it's either that, or Vingegaard might be slightly better than Pog when there are many difficult climbs in succession. It could very well be both: the altitude certainly makes whatever slight difference there is between those 2 bigger in terms of how much time one can get ahead.
But if it's only the altitude, then Pog is the favorite this year. In this regard this Tour is gonna be very interesting to check if that's only the altitude or also the succession of difficult climbs where Vingegaard has a chance to outperform Vingegaard
you nail the stage 17 man.... got a time machine huh??
Can I get the lottery numbers? Knowledgeable man, kudos
@@69peterpumpkineater haha thx a lot! :D Nah, i'm not sharing until i flogged this horse...lol
@@PopCykolMotoPH Dude, as a dane, we get a shittonne of info from a super cyclingcrazed country including the media here.. esp. TV2, the official danish cycling broadcaster. There are several tv docs on Vingegaards performance in his younger years, etc... I just chose to share some of that info, which for whatever reason eludes most of the cycling-interested world! The rest is extrapolating that info and superimposing it onto this years TDF stage topology! But the level of dedication and planning/foresight on the JV team was REALLY extraordinairy!
Great summary. Pog was clearly out-played on the Galibier but to lose 3 mins on the Granon must have had a fuelling issue too. The Netflix series showed Jonas to be an clever rider, and he'll be ready for Pog this year. Can't wait.
It may have been a feeding issue, but it's a lot harder to stick to your feeding schedule when you're having to constantly chase down attacks
There’s a Netflix series? Were they both cast as black?
Love the way he waited for Pogi. He is true gentleman. The absolute winner
This might just be the best video on UA-cam. You're killing it and only getting better, LR.
And now Vingegaard has won the 2023 tour! Proud to be a dane:)
I'm so sorry for Tadej but I've came across Jonas near Annecy 3 days ago and the look he gave me after the little"hello" wave cyclists do was absolutely scary. He will win again this year
Maybe.
He’s definitely a dangerous rider. I don’t think a lot of people are giving him as much credit as they should. He’s not as “flashy” as Pog but the guy is an absolute mountain goat!
The chances of pogacar making all those same mistakes again and being overconfident, and Jumbo having a rider of Roglics quality to use up, is very small
@@HkFinn83 it’s how he’s raced since he burst unto the scene.
@@HkFinn83 Bro, when you beat someone by 3 minutes, then you cannot put it on a single domestique rider. Jonas is the better pure climber, and he's the better Grand Tour rider, due to him being better at resting.
This recap is so freaking good! Big ups!!!
With Pog and Jonas tied at 1 to 1 in their TdF head to head battles, I'm hoping we see a similar slugfest this year. This could end up being a years long, epic battle.
5:57 is an epic shot. Pogi looks behind and all he sees is a jumbo army !
Absolutely brilliant… awesome recap of TDF’22 thank you.
Can’t wait for this year… and would dig to hear your live TV commentary on a Grand Tour one day 🫵
I cannot commit to watching all the stages of the race and so really look forward to your coverage. Your knowledge and expertise of the tour and the riders is second to none. I hope the tour lives up to the hype this year and can't wait to see your videos.
That Granon stage was an absolute masterpiece
Vingegaards chain had come off on the descent, that's why there was no resistance when he tried to pedal, which made the pedal shoot into the road almost causing him to crash.
Both guys are great for pro cycling - Jonas and Pog. It's a gonna be another great battle between them on LeTour. Whoever has the strongest and most intact team when they reach the hard mountain stages will prevail. Last year Jumbo was by far much stronger than UAE as a team. And I just hope most of the GC favorites can stay healthy and out of crash trouble.
I love it when it is so uncertain. Pog? Jonas?..... Can't wait
😬 The TdF hype is so real right now! 📈
So much can happen in 3,5 weeks! Such a well made and enjoyable to watch video. Expected nothing less - LR always delivers quality content. I'm all hyped up for Le Grand Boucle already! And I cross all my fingers that no (serious) crashes will occur.
van aert is such a legend i dont think he received as much credit as necessary when he helped jumbo visma out in the cobbles
I enjoyed the Netflix series but man did they drop the ball on the Kuss To Wout hand off story. Epic stuff!
I thought the exact same thing when I watched it.
I've watched the Tour for years, but last year's was one of the best imo. What a battle! I have no idea who is going to win this year, but one thing s for sure- an awful lot can happen in 3 weeks of racing. Bring it on! 🙂
This is the real Netflix documentary
This is fantastic commentary mate, well done. Really enjoyed watching this. Big fan.
Your commentary is second to none.
This was a much better recap than what was provided by the Netflix documentary - great content!
that van aert pull on stage 19 was epic
I will always remember the Granon stage
This was waaaay better than the netflix thing
last year was amazing lets hope for some more great cycling action! thanks lanterne for all the hype, you got me going haha
Jumbo Visma demonstrated the biggest masterclass in team tactics for bike racing. But they got away with it because their opponent is also just a guy who loves to race and will follow anything. This year though, if UAE come more prepared and out to protect Pog it may be very different.
It’s definitely a more suitable route for Pogi but then again, wrist and no lead up races.
And Jonas looks even better than last year.
Will be interesting 🤩
Awesome coverage, I'm so psyched that I can't wait until the weekend!
Stage 12 was awesome, but the whole TdF was epic! Great review.
The problem is that we don't know exactly how much better Jonas is on the big climbs. So far he has dropped him on Ventoux, Granon (first mountain stage last year) and Hautacam, and possibly he could have dropped him on Alpe d'Huez if he needed to. If the trend is that every big mountain stage results in an average of 1 minute to Jonas then the Tour will be won by Jonas. I hope for the race that Pogacar is able to defend himself in the big mountains and that the Tour may first be decided on Col de la Loze.
But no matter what, I think it is hard not to call Jonas the clear favourite before the race this year as he has also looked stronger on shorter climbs. I don't think Pogi will be able to drop him once and as you mentioned in your Tour preview video, he will take a maximum of 30 bonus seconds throughout the Tour. The time trial will probably be equal (Jonas better in the third week, but UAE with better equipment this season). So Jonas will only need to drop Pogi once for him to win the tour. If this happens early, the Tour could be decided quickly, but I'm sure we will still see Pogacar trying like last year.
Pog was just worked over by 4 men, bot jonas..
Jonas beat a beaten up, exhausted pog.
1 vs 1 i think pog wins every time.
But its a team event.
I think pogs going to win on a classics esque stage and catch jumbo napping
@@karl8805 Pogacar was exhausted at Granon which is why he lost three minutes and also lost to other riders. If he was not more exhausted than usual after a long mountain stage he would probably still lose at least 30 seconds to a minute. This is what happened at the other big mountain battles in the second and third week so far.
Consistently the best cycling highlights.
Jonas for the win. Wout in green. Jumbo is unstoppable!
Netflix:
"Jasper Disaster, yes"
"True sportsmanship, no"
2022 was such an amazing TDF...hoping 2023 has just as many exciting battles
Jonas is the man to beat this year. He is the one who can drop Pog.
Incredibly good video! So hyped for the Tour 🔥
pog was overextended on granon and had much lactate that hindered his full potential on the afterward stages as jonas was magnificent this year till he was overextended by pogs attack in stage 4 paris nice and he was bang average on the next stages. this tour will be an interesting dynamic
that one day doesnt have an effect on the entire tour afterwards. these guys arent like you and me. they have insane regeneration.
paris-nice means nothing.
@@youbetu18 how does paris nice cant matter? jonas was putting his best numbers in the build up race at o gran camino and he was flying on stage 4 paris nice when he attacked and dropped everyone bar pog, but after pog attacked him out of sight he tried to close for about a minute and overextended himself and cracked with 2 km of climb still remaining. the lactates catch up and lost to average riders that day and he was never himself the next days. mate too much lactate is not easy to recover from even for the best riders
@@yafetasegid6488 bro really thinks lactat levels stay high when you go to your limit for days xd, also paris nice is 20 degrees colder then the tour, is a one week race and jonas did much lower numbers then befor and after that race, stop the copium
@@yafetasegid6488 im sorry but you clearly know nothing about fitness build up during a season, nor do you know anything about lactate recovery.
how long have you been in this sport? go back in time and look at TdF winners and their early season accomplishments. you will see there is NO CORRELATION.
literally the only issue I see, and there is a clear correlation there in the past, is that pog was injured during the most important build up phase of the season.
@@youbetu18 so smart guy. u are telling me jonas was not at top in the gran camino and especially on basque country? it seems like u'r a desperate cycling fan who only turns up for the tour
better than any episode of the Netflix series : ) love it, hype is up!
Better storytelling than Netflix.
I think the fact that Thomas podium’ed this tour was really incredible. Very under the radar
I personally thing that this tour's going to Jonas. There are less of those punchy la planche de belle filles style climbs, and theres more of the long brutal climbs with the col de la loze, puy de dome, and the grand colombier. I also believe that if jonas doesnt have yellow by stage 17, they're going to destroy pogi on the loze.
Lovely recap of 22 GC race before we sink our teeth into the next three weeks of the biggest cycling event of the year. Bring it on!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
6:00 is the picture of TJV success 💛🖤
Great video! Hopefully this uear we will continue to see a great show from these two
Regarding why Pog lost the Tour in 2022: I think it was stage 11... and the crucial mistake I think Pog made was trying to counter every attack from Jumbo Visma. In my view he should have just focussed on Jonas and Jonas only. When Rog attacked... just let him go. He wouldn't have been a threat for GC at that point. I think Pog wasted too much energy countering all these attacks... probably coupled with insufficent food intake and dehydration.
After that stage Jonas for the first time knew he could win against Pog and that self confidence showed in the other key stages.
Best explanaton of last years race
In short-Stage 11 and Stage 17.
Really excited for this Tour, can't wait to see how Sagan will crush them for that polkadot jersey.
Hahahahaha.
Im danish and were very proud of him and his team
Absolutely awesome video and commentary.
Great recap, getting hyped for 2023 Tour!
The subtitle read “Pikachu” 🥴
I think Jonas wins again, Pogi 2nd, Adam Yates 3rd, Simon Yates 4th and Rogdiguez 5th.
such amazing content and analysis. thank you
A truly great tour and Stage 11 was as exciting as it was epic.
I would love to know what power Wout was making up the Hautacan
This comment is being written 2 days before the end of the 2023 Tour, and in many ways, this years’ Tour has been a repeat of last year’s. Tadej attacking and attacking - and then cracking in the high mountains. I am a Dane so clearly biased but I would also like an exciting Tour, and Jonas is almost scaringly strong.
But: I’ll happily celebrate a Dane winning. No doubt about it.
great video, can't wait for the tour
Jonas to win again💪
This is excellent content, thanks man!
since i started watching tdf in 2016, 2022 season is the best for me.
Excellent recap. Thx
Today Pog Gotcha‼️ 🚵🇫🇷💛
Thanks for this great recap video, Lanterne Rouge, but we already saw exactly how last years race was won on that Netflix special 🤣😂🤣😅🤣😂 😆
It was such an amazing tour. Ridiculous.
I fear I am getting a bit disappointed this year, because I will always remember how good 2022 was.
Im already a bit sad that G and my beloved kämna are missing:(
Pog for the win this year
Im coming from denmark siuuuuuuuu
I must have missed 2 things with the Netflix series. 1) Pog falling and Jonas waiting for him. 2) LR commentary/interview/anything on the show
Most epic sports moment of the decade for me!
I agree Jonas waiting for Pogi should be included in Netflix
The team and riders strategies still sometimes escape my understanding, but the LR coverage videos are superb!
Thx for the review💟☮️☯️
@5:18 How much energy is used by the three riders in one round of attacks (with one attacker, Pog closing, and one drafting)? Is it: Vingegaard and Roglic each spend 1 unit when attacking, and Pogacar spends 2 units when closing? Or is it more like 1.5 units for Vingegaard and Roglic, since drafting uses up 0.5 units?
Jonas just the better climber🤷♂️ thats how he won
na bol, unfortunately I don't think he is & there's plenty record to back it up. Even last years tour as an example though he lost. I think it comes(or atleast came) down to Jonas with the better team in JV, that can put solid pressure on Pog, & they're the only ones capable to do so atm
I think in hindsight, if Pog didn't constantly chase every.single attack back, gambled on lower GC contenders (still top 5) & didn't go out burning all his matches, last years tour would've looked alot different. He's still super young & races so. Actually very similar to MVDP, who races with the confident notion of being the strongest one out there, & relying on that alone. I think if he plays it even a little smarter this year, it's an easy win for the guy. He's got Jonas on the climbs, the punchy finishes & in the TT, but not in the team or tactics. Not much he can do about the team, though it's not 'bad', but if he races smarter.....
I don't actually want to see the guy win, it's boring. He's boring. But I imagine he will
@@LarryHaudini666 you Pogboys always have an excuse for him not winning.. always.. It´s just so funny at this point..
@@LarryHaudini666 As you can see in the video, Jonas was alone without teammates for most of Granon when he dropped him. They put pressure on Pog at the bottom of the Galibier with their 1-2 attacks, but Pog really destroyed himself when he attacked in the last km's of the Galibier and paced with Jonas in the wheel. At the Granon, Jumbo didn't really do anything to put pressure on Pog, because their team was destroyed after Galibier.
And Jonas was alone against Pog everytime Pog attacked on the penultimate climbs of the two hard stages in the pyrenees. It was man against man. Even when Pog attacked in the beginning of the stages when the break was forming, Jonas closed the gaps himself (which I think was pretty stupid - should have left Pog out in the front and let his Jumbo-teammates chase him down). Plus he was alone in the wheel of Pog and Mcnulty on almost the entire stage to Peyragudes. So to me, the Tour last year was clearly won in a duel between the two of them where Jonas proved the strongest on the tough, long climbs and in the last TT, which he would have won if he had gone full gas up the final climb.
@@LarryHaudini666 bro actually thinks pog is a better climber then jonas when even pog himself said that he isnt
@@LarryHaudini666 Far too many claim that Jonas is the better cyclist and choose to ignore that his team was far stronger and that TJV has the secret weapon in WVA. It was the tandem attacks that Pog had to cover every time because Jonas and Primoz were both top GC contenders. UAE had no such way to do the same to Jonas. Until that stage Pog was besting Jonas, with a smile on his face.
One thing is often forgotten. Kämna was on the run to get the mailot jaune. Jumbo visma knew thst pogacar could fest next stages and was giving tempo so hard thar pogacar stayed in yellow with one second ahead of kämna so uae would have to Work
hahahah, the comment " didnt make the netflix series" made me laugh so much. when waiting for Tadej after falling
He’ll need to ride his knicks off, and have some luck go his way - Pog in fine form currently
so is Jonas its going to be a thrilling battle
Ehm. Both werent in the perfect one. Jv hadnt a good season to this Date and pog was heavily injured
@@NNRedemption You dumb he’s won almost every stage race he’s entered this year except paris nice where he came 3rd. Hardly call that not having a good season
Whomever wins, I have a feeling the gap between 1st and 2nd is going to be a handful of seconds. I think Pogi is coming into this TdF with a better team and better preparation compared to last year. He knows what he can expect from Jumbo, but I'm not sure Jumbo know what to expect from UAE. It's going to be an intense TdF for both teams. I just hope we have less crashes overall, and no one retiring the race due to injuries.
Whoever
I fractured my left scaphoid a few years ago (same as Pogi in LBL in April, but he also fractured his lunate bone). To me, this could be the most significant limitation of his performance. Two months is not enough recovery time for him to withstand three weeks of racing. Especially sharp attacks and out-of-the-saddle work at these elite-level wattages will take their toll (let's be honest, he didn't need that for Slovenian RR and TT Champs). I hope that's not true, though and, most importantly, he won't injure himself any further with that wrist 🙏
