Maybe for his kids??

I don't think it is a exchange, it is a gift to the youngest rider in the peloton, He ask for the glasses and Tadej decide to give him the glass and his pink jersey! a very nice gesture!

Wdym they swap jerseys in like every pro sport all the time?

@@EMBIKES where else in the CYCLING world did you see this happen? dont see it done in swimming, ice skating, f1, volleyball , golf 😆 but on second look I dont think it is an exchange, just pogi giving his jersey and glasses

@@ExpertKZfaqCommentator bro you edited the comment to say cycling world 💀

It is a training ride for him; the tour won't be

It is not only him. His teammates carry him to the finish at a fast pace

Reminds me of the American guy in the early 2000s

yeah in short sleeves no gloves ... like it's a park ride

So weird these training rides for pogacar and the rest suffering with cold and the ascents. Really weird the difference

To be fair, the competition this year isn't that strong. The earlier season crashes and injuries taking out a lot of contenders.

im seing a replay of 2000's

@@dclark142002 It's not true. None of the injured had GDI planned for this year.

We are witnessing greatness indeed.

@@dclark142002 Other commenter is correct. He would've dominated either way. Other GC guys focused on Tour and the best of the rest are either recovering from injury (bernal etc) or not good enough either. I remember seeing a statistic on PCS that showed the startlist score in terms of rider quality. I don't remember the exact numbers but it was by far the worst startlist since like 20 years.

GC contenders used to let the lesser known riders have their glory whilst improving their lead. Greed isn’t attractive, nor is untouchable dominance entertaining.

@@scott4868 UAE doesn't plan to pull the break back but thx to Movistar! btw, it is also a disrespect to "let" a rider win! I don't know about you, I certainly want to earn my win and not win becasue of a pity! BTW, did you even watch the race? the 2 place GC rider finish even time with the 2nd place stage finisher! how to you gain time to GC rival while letting 2nd place win?

@@scott4868 It's a bike race. The other teams are welcome to go for the win themselves. I won't knock another man for cementing his legacy. Last I checked it's him pedaling his own bike.

​@@scott4868charity win = 👎👎👎

@@mracer8 Totally disagree, throughout the whole history of cycling teams have let breaks go for the win, that does not make it a 'charity win' or a gift, but a hard fought win against every over rider in the break. Also, a stage win means nothing to Pogacer, but for a Polti or Bardiani rider it is the difference between getting a contract or losing their career, and for anyone it means so much more than Pogacer. Him going for stages is not because he is the best, but he is greedy, see Catalunya this year or Andalusia last year. When Roglic took the stage ahead of Gino Mader in Paris Nice 2021, he was lambasted, and rightfully so, but because Pogacer is seen as a 'nice guy' and 'fun character' off the bike people turn a blind eye to him being a twat on the bike. This gifting his jersey thing is just another reason for all those people who worship him to like him more, despite everything that happens off it.

Yeah, those London mountains are nasty…😂

London aint even a very wet city, but okay

Vingegaard still hasn't confirmed any attendance, and there are big question marks on his form after his fall in the spring.

@@GardEngebretsen i know but i stay positive... Vingegaard is not a normal rider his recovery is outstanding

No competition unfortunately, it's going to be a follow the leader kinda TDF

I hope JV is there, so it’s a big battle between TP and JV. As a TP fan I want him to kick ass and get that 3rd TdF title.

Can Evenepoel finish a tour without losing 15 min in some weird stage?

you’re heaven-sent

Love you

Biggest spoiler, Pog is going to win the Giro on Sunday bro…

@@raycoxphotoSeems he won on day 2… edit here I said 1 then remembered Narváez just pipped him… as if it matters… worst Giro since Nairo somehow won… a special sauce has to be involved

I can just see that guy telling his kids one day... "THIS is the jersey Tadej was wearing when he blew by me at the 2024 Giro!" Sure, winning a stage in a grand tour would be grand... but losing the stage to a legend would probably be even better.

Everybody is a comedian! Good one.

Ricordo la tappa del Gavia nel 1988. Erano altri tempi. Oggi i corridori non salgono più sulle montagne quando nevica, l'epoca degli eroi è finita.

TDF is more then a month away, I really don't understand why some critic have to worry about recovery unless there is injury!

​@@mracer8yes, only 7 riders in the history of cycling being able to do the Giro-Tour double, with guys like Contador, Quintana, Dumoulin and Froome never managing to do it. But it's just coincidence, not about lack of recovery between the races at all!

@@mracer8 man, for how long have you watch professional cycling ?!? Are you even riding yourself?

Recovery has already started. Today was a tempo day for him.

lol me too but I’m not that naive.

How stupid do you have to be to believe the worldtour peleton rolls cleanly. Unbelievable!

You must be a lot of fun in a party!

Time will tell. I am sure the testing is frequent and ferocious. Maybe someday something will happen. But in the meantime, I am enjoying the heck out of it.

He didnt 😂😭

Maybe he is 😮

I would say it as well. He is thinking. The hole team is.

This is all just an altitude training camp for him. Getting some tempo work in in preparation for le tour.

Yup it seems he peaked too early in previous years to lose to the man who focuses on the Tour and peaks during it. But with Jonas' injuries... who knows?

💥BANG ON MATE!! I've been posting my comment throughout the comments to get others views so if you're interested feel free to give it a read. Seems like you are already in the know!!! Cheers I actually found out what his numbers were on Foscagno on Sunday. He had an avg of 6.2watts/kg for the final 35 mins and while he was chasing Niaro he did 6.9watts/kg for 13 mins and this was all at altitude, ABOVE 2000mtrs!!!! He also beat that climb by 4½ mins by a KNOWN DOPER and Pogi did it with such ease!! Get a clue people. Do research yourselves!! This is much more than "above and beyond" the rest! This is blatantly UN-NATURAL. People say "give me proof" or "he has never given a positive test result" but that is the most ridiculous response. The greatest dopers didn't get caught by the testing! It usually came out YEARS later. What people fail to realise is that when you spend €100,000s on these "Drs", of course the juice itself is important but the MOST IMPORTANT thing they are offering is the ability to beat the testing protocols and system!! We know who owns Team UAE and they have UNLIMITED money, lack of standards and morals, they're greedy and they are willing to win and be THE BEST AT ANY AND ALL COST!!! I've done quite a bit of RESEARCH on this the past 3 years and I've looked into how the doping is done and how the testing system and protocols are seriously flawed and lacking All these people won't admit he's on "the program" and it's staring them in the face! If you heard ALL the commentators after Sundays win, they were literally lost for words. They did not know what to say because it was SOOOO UNBELIEVABLE!!! These are ex pro riders and they can't even believe what they saw. WADA is a joke and not catching these doping programs. The police and law enforcement agencies need to be brought into this like they did with Bahrain Victorious at TDF few years ago and like they did with the Festina affair in '98 or '99 and do search warrants, CRIMINAL investigations and do LONG TERM surveillance on the teams and the Drs. It's the only way they will catch them!! 🤘🏻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

The race was supposed to start before the mountain but it was snowing and too dangerous, especially the long steep descent so the riders threatened to boycott the race, the organisers took a full day to listen to them before having a fake start at the original beginning and then transferred all the riders and bikes over the mountain by cars and buses before starting it at a random car park so that there was a space for the riders and bikes to be unloaded into the rainy but flatter run to the final short climb.
