his two tour de france wins so far are very interesting in how much they're different: in 2020 he won out of sheer cunningness, and in 2021 he just flat out crushed every single 'rival' of his. a fantastic all rounder both in skills and strategy! can't wait to see what the future has in store for him
First of all,he is a very inteligent and mature rider for is age,he knows how to take benefis from the other teams,won stages,had the best condition and rode like old school riders,with his heart.Congrats to the Future of grand tour winner.
He won because he was better than Roglic in the mountain, and arrive to the last chrono in better conditions...i believe that Pogacar is a phenomenal child
He is a legend to Slovenia in particular & to be honest this could be his best-ever Three Jerseys win for Years to come ...How proud mam & dad could be !! Me forwarding my congratulations ,,yours from 🇪🇷!!
Happy Birthday Tadej Podacar What a birthday gift you got yesterday! Well, done young man, looking forward to following your race journey in the future. You are a star of today and the future! Congratulation and thank you for a great TDF!
Tadej Pogačars coach said that the night before the TT they had a talk and decided that since Pogačar had 2nd place cemented he had nothing to lose so they decided to ride without power and heartrate data and just go for it, hey if he blew up he would still finish 2nd. The times he was doing would have been fed through to Primoz and because Pogačar was gaining so much time early on it got inside Primozs head (who would be riding by the numbers as they mostly do on a TT). If you stick to the numbers rather than on RPE sometimes it goes against you.
When he won three stages in vuelta with long range attack and secure podium spot in his debut , this kind of results can only be achieved with extreme talent, therefore I was sure that he may win TDF before it started but after that mechanical mishap where Pogacar lost 1.21 second then the whole game was in favour of Jumbo Visma's team but the performance in ITT was extraordinary and unachievable and the main fact is that Pogacar was full confident that he will take yellow jersey on 20th stage.
Thank you so much for all the hard work Thecyclingdane & CO has put in to keep us all TDF lovers entertained. Keep up the great work I am looking forward to the next tournament and new videos! Luv the channel!!!!!!
@@YoutubSUCKZ I don't think they didn't notice.. they just didn't act on it. I think Roglič might have wanted a "fair fight" (1vs1) with his fellow countryman.
Matched Dumoulin's stage-best time on the ITT right up to the last climb. Then still had enough left in the tank to break the alltime record up the Planches de Belles Filles. He must be the next coming of Eddy Merckx, because the alternate explanation is...
He performed extremely well on vuelta 2019 with podium and three stages win with long range attack and this kind of results can only be achieved when someone is hugely talented. He is a time trialist and these kind of cyclists have so called diesel engine as a result he ride with his own pace that's why without strong team he won
Roglic beat him in the time trial that tour by about the same gap Tadej beat him this tour though. But impressive nonetheless. Tadej looked stronger here at the Tour than he did in Spain last year, and he looked amazing last year. This year, he looked like a demon on two wheels...
Yes, today's world is full of competition in every field so nobody should expect the same result as Merckx but as quality he can match him or a little inferior
Have a word with yourself mate. He's won 1 hour, not even dominating it. He's not even at the stage where he can be mentioned in the same breath as Merckx.
Missed the part were yous let someone win the stage... no offense winning and strategies to win to separate veiws... not to rain on parade... but having a team break wind, work together draft like Nascar, is way different then being an individual. So hats off to all those champions as well...
UAE and its predecessor teams have a record of doping scandals. Do you think that there is any suspicion to be had regarding their performance at this year’s Tour de France?
Does wearing a face coordinated mask help you ride smarter, more stealthly and more intelligently and less accidentatilly and help you ride winning TDF strategies and win your first maiden professional tour . See 10:41 for the suggestion. Lesson applied not knowing your competitors attributes allows for a more level playing field where team strategies count less than individual prowess on the bikes.
The better rider beat the better team. Doesn't usually work that way, but it did in 2020. Also hats off to Slovenia, clearly the new superstars in subverting drug tests.
@James Tudor lol... Did you watch any other sports? Its all the same everywhere if not worse. Look at american football, 6 time more testostrone is ok, no testing in canadian football, no testing in hockey, no testing in the NBA, boxing contract agreement on whatever they want to use like testostrone blood transfusion and/or epo, etc... I almost forgot football, tennis, nascar, formula 1/2/3, marathon and even competitive shooting. The only place where it's not cool is cycling!
@@bradleygeorge6072 The hairpin bends on Google Maps of the Montvernier and the ones on the pic match. Also you can see a motorway on this pic, and there is no motorway near the Grand Colombier
@Panos peterpan yeah you are right , and few years ago with froome and Armstrong was so spectacular,but now it was a little boring if Pogacar wasnt there . So that means Mvdp is more clean then the tour riders ?
He had an unfair advantage using rim brakes. The other riders were forced to use extra heavy disc brake bikes, causing more air drag and chirping noise from warped rotors making them go nuts. Just unfair!
@@robertovini5415 i'm just joking, Tadej ran a great race. Just not a fan of disc brakes on light road racer bikes and riders being forced to use them. I glad he won on rims!
It's possible to win the Tour de France in the first day. Just win so far in front of everyone else they don't make the time cut. You are guaranteed to win every stage and all the jerseys.

yoooooo 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
Happy Birthday today :)
Happy B-day and I really hope that such a handsome young guy like you will continue to shine
well done champ
Fanta, hvala vama za tritedensko predstavo!
One of the greatest Tour de France victories of all time.
That's what dopping will do
G Don’t be that way .
@@michaelkennedy4444 Doping should be legal
Like the NBA & NFL and track & field , is that what you’re saying ? Pogacar is clean until proven otherwise.

A time trial for the ages. Absolutely stunning. He’ll be around for a decade.
This is the great tour for this year and made the legend history. Congratulations tadej 👏👏🇸🇮🏅
Thecyclingdane; Thank you. Tadej Pogačar: TdF now x 2 + 2 Monuments. I give him my full support as a fan and offer him best hopes to the good.
Glimpse of andy Schleck.. Andy was the reason I started following this one of the toughest sport.. Pogacar is an amazing young talent..
Proud Slovenian!
Thank you so much for all the hard work Thecyclingdane & CO has put in to keep us all TDF lovers entertained.
Keep up the great work I am looking forward to the next tournament and new videos! Luv the channel!!!!!!
thank you so much for the gratitude - we really appreciate it!
Such a great young talent!
great, wonderful video, thank you. and thanks for reminding us too about the UAE teammates that Pogacar lost in the first week.
Yeah good point
He just glued himself to the stronger team and did not let them shake him.
very true Jumbo messed up
effectively he was being part of jumbo visma only jumbo visma itself didn't notice
@@YoutubSUCKZ I don't think they didn't notice.. they just didn't act on it. I think Roglič might have wanted a "fair fight" (1vs1) with his fellow countryman.
"just"!
@@YoutubSUCKZ this made me laugh :D
What a journey!! Nice video and great, historical race 🙏
Sir Happy birthday to you... it was a great feet to get you where you are and appreciate to those who support you... enjoy your day
Nice video! Really enjoyed it
I am looking forward to route of next yr TDF.
Also the 1st GT with Bernal Pogačar Mas and Remco.
Hopefully Remco might want to go to the Giro first
If pogacar is not caught in any mechanical problems or accident then I don't think anybody can beat him, the only weakness is his team
@Ton Tum mas came 5th in the TDF, how can u now pay attention to him?
@@rasheedazmi8103 Jonas Vingegaard hahaahahahha
It's best to have lost to a better rider on the day than lose to a crash or mechanical --- WVA
That thought strong when Pogachar jumped on the replacement TT bike!
Wonderful summary. Nicely done!
Wielki Szacun Tadeju I jes eś bez dwóch zdań. kro lem🤝✌👏👏👏👏👏 Gratuluję Ci . BO po cichu dopingowalem Slowencą i tobie

Great job, like how you Appreciate just being there... Great job...
Thx for this video
Thank you for watching! Glad you liked it
And he won the Tour De France in 2021 too!!!
POGAČAR - ROGLIČ SLOVENIA
LIT?
you just ignored the mechanical that caused him to stop. he just got back to the group when they had split, he didnt exactly miss it.
Great narrative. Also, what's the name of the musical instrument artist playing in the background plz??
True, I love it
Trombone 😂
Congratulations Epic Race
He won because he’s a master rapper on the high climbs for short times
The COVID rap fended off Roglic for sure
nope he won due to fabulaous bike and builds,build with rim brake too ,see more info @durian rider :-)
He performed extremely well on vuelta 2019 with podium and three stages win with long range attack and this kind of results can only be achieved when someone is hugely talented.

This was an amazing win, doubt we will see better than this
Well deserved wat a time trial! He is the new Merckx !!!!!!
Yes, today's world is full of competition in every field so nobody should expect the same result as Merckx but as quality he can match him or a little inferior
Have a word with yourself mate. He's won 1 hour, not even dominating it. He's not even at the stage where he can be mentioned in the same breath as Merckx.
@@rasheedazmi8103 😂
Cycling is definitely a team sport
POG POG!
Very very true

Who knows but time will tell. Hopefully this is a generation we can trust
Best TDF in decades!!
Alpe HDuez was not on this years Tour
Neither was the Galibier or Mont Ventoux
SO THEY BETTER BE ON NEXT YEARS TOUR
YES!!!!! COMPLETELY AGREE!
Well, once we hit the Galibier the real climbers will come to the fore. Still, Pogacar will contend.
Hey Caleb, how was the groupetto treating ya on nearly every stage? 😄
@@lucentshadow 😬
Neither was the Col de Tourmalet
Amazing,
Lipizzaner horse and Tadej Pogacar
haute studs from Slovenia
Woe!! Slow down...lol...I had to watch this 10 times to keep up with the details...
Apologies, I’m quite a fast talker 😬
hahahahahaha
@@ewanwilson6484 it's that you talk fast....its that you have a lot of valuable and fantastic information.
Can’t believe you guys dropped the ball on the sign off... no “see ya in the douches” 🤷♂️😂
What happened to Roglic on the last time trial? sick or eat wrong?
Think he finished third or fourth in the stage. He didn’t actually do that bad, the issue was Pogacar
Jumbo should have never allowed Tadej to take back all that time in that Pyrenees stage
Waiting for chatting .. last day .. with CYCLEDANE
Thank you for tuning in day after day!

Victoria for David vs Goliath in the Tour de France 🇫🇷
He was pushing more than 7 w/kg in the last climb... Thats all!
Crazy!

@James Tudor I sure hope not...but no power meter or heart rate monitor so we have no numbers available. Just a coincidence.
@James Tudor at least this year didn't win asthmatic
@Panos peterpan Based on his weight and the power data from some other cyclists, it seems to be around 6.9. We are getting into alien territory.
7:56 isn't that Alpe d'Huez
No its Grand Colombier :P
Actually not that either. Those bends are the lacets de Montvernier. A short but beautiful climb up to a little chapel.
@@johanhulten8155 Its literally Grand Colombier if you google the climb
@@bradleygeorge6072 The hairpin bends on Google Maps of the Montvernier and the ones on the pic match. Also you can see a motorway on this pic, and there is no motorway near the Grand Colombier
Mmm🤔... completing the race course with the least amount of time?
WON
o really no way
This performance seems to good to be true 😅
And from Wout Van aert not ? After one year from a Super heavy crash
Nah....that time trial was a perfect course for him.
@@FreeMTrider yeah exactly
@Panos peterpan maybe but ,do you believe everyone is clean ??i dont think they can prestate something with bread and chocolate pasta , and coffee ...
@Panos peterpan yeah you are right , and few years ago with froome and Armstrong was so spectacular,but now it was a little boring if Pogacar wasnt there . So that means Mvdp is more clean then the tour riders ?
Visiblement, les frenchies sont partout sur la planète vélo, même chez les anglais 💪

I miss rim brakes in mountain bikes😭
Wanna buy colnago, but have no money, I'm poor man...😭😭
Same problem here hahah its a nice bike though
Can't anyone else see the obvious? Both Slovakian's were obviously lit.
Slovenian
Watching it back you cant win the tdf in the firdt week pogacar hold my beer
😂
JUICE
I think he won because he had a coffee enema after each stage
u need to be strong climber to win TDF
It's possible to win the Tour de France in the first day. Just win so far in front of everyone else they don't make the time cut. You are guaranteed to win every stage and all the jerseys.
u cant win the tour defrance in the first week
pogaccar'2021 puts 4 minuites into everyone on stage 8'
Drugs drugs drugs that is how he did it.
Quanta roba ha preso sto pogiocar tra poco faceva record ora in salita...ha ha ha

Its funny how people all agree that these guys are all doped up.
