Shows how not-human these guys are. Their fitness levels are off the charts, charts. They looked beyond gassed. Every stroke of the pedal looked like agony.

@@Real28 I've never seen Pogacar sit down and get up 3 times during a sprint.

Ya they both doping the same stuff its even playing field

it’s the biggest single sport event, not just cycling

@@ion2763 If you think they are doping just because they are the best, then why watch the sport? You would always think the winner is doped then

When we talk about the robotic side of Jonas, we always always talk about his riding. I do not like the cyclist and competitor Jonas, but the person, the human being Jonas, I have nothing against. This is important to understand. There must be a clear distinction between racing and personal stuff.

Only angry fans of Roglic, Pogacar, Evenepoel etc. have called Vingegaard "robotic". They're trying to cope with their favorite rider losing. Vingegaard is one of the most exciting riders in the world, have been for years.

​@@tonyg3091 the rider who explodes the long climb stages? How do you not like that?

@@tonyg3091what did you see that was robotic today? Was it the way he took time back from tadej, inch by inch?

@@tonyg3091you a bot bro?

Agree: Rogla and fight against urge to crash is biblical.

😂😂😂​@@feedbackzaloop

@@feedbackzaloop Poggy was also pretty close but "speedway'd" saved it. He is such a beast on saves as well, remember that bollard he nearly smackdaddied into as well?

Might already be the greatest rivalry ever. The only rival is hinault, Lemond imo but that’s more because of the infighting drama. Fignon/lemond? Didn’t last for long. Armstrong/Ullrich? Ullrich only truly threatened him 1 year and never beat him. Anquetil/Poulidor? Poulidor never beat him. Schleck/Contador? Schleck never won the tour.. we’ll.. he did on paper…

@@telmoliciousTbf pogi never truly beat jonas at the tour yet either

To his credit Pog did not want a walkover win with no Jonas in the race - to him his only real rival is Jonas (and an in form Roglic but he is missing) and Pog wants to win the TDF against a fit Jonas

@@epincioni think that the best Roglic can achieve by now. He is now getting old

Jonas has an indomitable spirit, the man will push himself further than anyone, including Pogba.

i'm seeing similarities between Vingegaard and Djokovic (tennis) those days. very hated, but they're the best and humble, coming back from inuries and still winning

Anchovy 😂😅

Well put 💪

I wanted Vingegaard to say that “Remco’s balls are so big he struggles to drag them up the mountain”. 😂

@@ulrikpedersen2809 yeah but that would be a straight lie 😂

This result confirms my thoughts that it is - and has been all along - that it is actually Pogacar who fears Vingegaard. He can’t bluff anymore after today.

Here,here

Jonas can go so deep it looks like he'd rather die than give up

He’s down a min, but I never count him out. Still a lot of tour left. All it takes is one crack on the mountain and he will be right in it.

@@asiantrick24 If he rides the last TT as he did last years TT, he will literally take two minutes on Pogacar just there. Anything can happen, and today JV looked stronger. And when you take into consideration that Pogacar might fade due to the Giro, JV is the heavy favourite.

@@GardEngebretsenI agree with you there

@@GardEngebretsen Yeah definetely, being one minute down into 3rd week is nothing. based on the last 2 years that means vingegaard victory by far. Im not sure thats this year though after all that happend. So its all possible this time.

Yess

You jinxed Roglic man :(

Spoke too soon

You cursed him you absolute scumbag!

@@henriknilsson7730 I know ☹️

I would look more forward for saturday and sunday…. Than the alps

@@lester8403 That also, can´t wait:)

With just a little help . The officials look away.

lol thats pathetic :D

@@nejcb You're pathetic.

@@nejcb Real men cry at victory over adversity.

If that's the case you need to let go of the brakes😁

Yeah they go like 15-25km/h up the mountains. Considering the distances they do it's almost unbelievable. There is a GCN video where Hank tries to go up a mountain in the same speed as the slowest person (who wasn't disqualified) and he was like 1km/h too slow. It's insane.

I laughed way to hard at that picture 😂

Well actually taste good 😂

@@transparent6748 bro i eat 10 kilos of æbleskiver every winter

The Roglic paradox

Reck-it Roglic , not race until there is blood.

Crashlic

These downhill finishes are a disgrace tbh. Especially with wet roads like these.

Maybe he's got his crash out of the way for this tour and won't need to do it again. Fingers crossed...

😂😂😂😂

Today, cycling rivalry is much more civilized than it used to be. There is more mutual respect for each other's achievements.

BALLS OF A CHAMPION TOO

Sepp winning the Vuelta again is about 0 procent. Jonas gifted it to him last year, that´s not going to happen again.

@@brugttoiletpapir Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz Have some fun! Get behind a favorite cyclist that isn’t Jonas or Pogi or Wout or MVDP to win something. The highs of seeing your favorite ride win when you least expect it brings great joy.

how about 150k in 12 hours ?

@@deltabravo5712270k in 13h 🔥

Yeah he did the classic leadout man pull off and putting himself as much in the way as possible. Not sure if it was intended, but it sure was effective.

포기가 스프린트를 시작한 것과 동시에 예이츠가 페달을 늦추었어요. 의도적인 방해입니다.

@DKSprocket definitely doesn't seem intentional, just rough timing.

​@scottaaron382 it is intentional. Its what ang good leadout man does. Become an obstacle

haha I feel you! I was waiting for this video so badly 🤣

I was checking it every 5 minutes for the last two hours !!!1

anyone would bonk with or without sustenance on a long aggressively sustained climb

​@@sleepdeprived9181The body can burn only so much carbs, if you fuel sufficiently you simply don't bonk no matter how hard you go. What will stop you is the lactate, but by seeing Pog eating half a kilo of sweets after the finish and even on the podium like a 6-year old kid, Pog clearly fucked up his fuelling strategy. Again.

I mean if you look at the time remco put in he also gained time on pogi in the last one.

​@@MrVKennethThat's almost literally completely the other way around, I'm afraid. The expenditure of carbohydrates exceeds the rate of absorption. Even assuming 150 g of carbs per hour only results in 600 kcal of carbs ingestion. In the meanwhile these guys can push 420 watts as FTP, and at that intensity very little fat is used. And 400 watts per hour is about 1600 kcal per hour, so yes a lot of carbs still have to present endogenously and bonking will occur if the event lasts long enough. Also, lactic acid is the saviour of endurance athletes, not the enemy despite of it being a common myth. You don't have to take my word for it, I'm just a registered dietitian and MSc in Human Movement Sciences, specialization Sports and Nutrition, but the scientific literature is clear on the matter. Lactic acid is your friend 😉

@@MrVKenneth It's also not the first day that Pogi is on the podium chewing food. It would be really interesting if one day they manage to publish a report by a professional of what happened at a physiological level. One off human bodies, well trained and put it at the limit

Yates

Roglic better

@@5508Vanderdekken Lol

Quite hot, top 4 seem too strong

Roglic&Jonas working together is a recipe for disaster for Pogacar!😅

It is

@@TriRaMYNasara-xw3tp for a moment there Roglic forgot they are not teammates anymore 🎉

I reckon they won’t work together again after today’s stage. It made sense yesterday, they needed each other to limit the damage. But now Rogla’s so far back. He has to focus on the podium which means dealing with Remco.

@@davidstefano2709 it’s still a long race. I reckon Pogacar or either Remco would have a bad day at the later stages.

What’s there to get? uae don’t have the strategy

Pogi should stop trying to extend the gap and try to survive the mountains. Visma doesnt have the climbers to make it super hard for Vinge and drop Pogacar. I dont think Jorgenson could even drop Yates, Almeida or Ayuso, he hasnt looked spectacular.

@@Local_idiot-u8h I think we all can see that this would be the move, take maybe a bit of time on Evenepoel, but dont challenge Vingegaard but Pogi great flaw is his race IQ... He just wants to go full speed at all times for 3 weeks, and honestly if he had any other opponent than vingegaard it would work, but clearly it doesnt here.

So you re saying uae should do it extra easy?

@@Pawskmaybe they also wanted to see how everybody else was feeling. They are the only team that can control in the mountains. See where the teammates of Remco, Roglic and JV are. Can they react? Are they feeling good? I thonk its good to know for 14/15

He think Jonas is better in the high mountains so pogacar feels he has no choice but to attack on all these other stages to try to get the win. If hw just sits back then Tadej would now be like 10 secs ahead only and he doesn't think that would be enough. So he is forced to attack.

Spot on.

I agree

He knows what he can expect from Vingegaard. Evenepoel is more of an unknow for him. Also evenepoel is better at TT's and is willing to take more risks than vingegaard which can catch pogi off guard.

@@SamDePrez is evenepoel better at mountain TTs like the stage 21? Remember last year?

@@SamDePrez Where can Remco catch Pogi off guard? In the next hard mountain stages?

Time does not exist.

predictably

Jonas never cracks, he'll lose time but only a few seconds here or there. The fear is that if Pogi cracks, he'll lose minutes.

Poggy was dead after Vinny chased him up the mountain! Masterpiece!

Attacked too early and underestimated Jonas

but he has an insane team he could and should use to his advantage. so exited about the upcoming stages!

True. Visma doesnt have the team this year to make it hard for him in the mountains so i think pogi will do pretty well​@@doppelpunkt

And a "ciao" cut off 😱

Ten+ minutes is unassailable. Everything else is still game on, and we haven't even gotten to Jonas's terrain yet

In the last ITT you can get a minute. That is just full on climbing and descending way harder than the last one. But that will suit Pogi. But there are still 4 high mountains left and pogi didn’t look fresh in the end. Will be interesting who has the legs in a week 3

​​@@Infiltator2Yeah right. It will suit Pogi as well as the ITT of last year

Last year on stage 17, JV took 5:48 (+ 2'' bonus) on TP

​@Infiltator2 3rd week itt with a climb. JV territory everyday of the year. JV is a third week specialist due to his insane VO2 and recovery abilities

Just sit still in your couch 😉
