Apart from the fact he has a mask on.

​@@BCCmma64bang🤡

Jonas said it was one of his best performances of his life, so the crash wasn't an issue. Whats more of an issue was having a weaker team around him. Also Tadje is definitely better this years and as we know in the past, he bonked a couple of times on the warm days but he said his team kept him cool as best they could with water and he kept better track of his food and drink intake. In previous years, when he was isolated, they could not do this. He has a stronger team and Jonas has a weaker team this year. If Jonas does beat him this year, then he definitely is the no 1 grand tour rider but I don't see it happening

Pogil will not run La Vuelta

Super respect and proud of Jonas' performance and attitude. Still not counting him out. Only he has the chance of a hat trick (3 in a row)

He just said it was the best ride of his life. Do you think he's lying?

@@stephencolton299 He did, but obviously he can do better, when he’s able to train concistent next spring

Why does being a Dad make it so?

This is the biggest race of the year. For once his work should come first. The family always being there is a distraction.

@@Liofa73 I totally agree & I'm waiting for someone to tell me why being a Dad AFTER a stage like today, is hard. The comment, saying so...but without reasoning.

Funny I read it exactly the opposite way. It seemed that he took strength from his family. And that his family comes first. This was Jonas' best chance to turn the GC tide and it must have been hard to watch - after both he and Tadej pulverized the record up that last climb! He's so mentally strong, surrounded by his family. A nice piece of editing in this interview, showing Jonas arriving with his family and leaving quietly with them. All of the GC top 10 should be proud of their place!

JV is doing top performance of his live he's at 100% it's just Pogacar who improved since 2022

Pog is sus right now to be honest hate to be the guy saying it. Jonas is not in bad form he has improved climbing wise but is weaker in power/sprint. Yates also did a sus performance earlier this year. All im gonna say is if they are clean, then hats off they are simply the best and if it continues jonas will not win again. Pogi improved his best climbing with 5% this year. And Yates and almeida did a climb in april that only Jonas was able to do last year.

@@TellusJD more sus than Jonas with pneumothorax?

@@TellusJD Knowledge about training/nutrition/recovery is much better now than even 10 years ago.

@@TellusJD Mauro Gianetti is why I've always slightly wondered about UAE and Pog. I'm not even sure why he is allowed to be a CEO of a team given his history. The past 2 tours there was a bit more yo-yoing going on between Pog and Jonas. It just seems like after losing last year's tour, Pog all of a sudden became invincible. Coming out of the Giro and acting like he has no limits to his energy is definitely questionable. And we know that doping is done to aid in quicker recovery which offsets any potential bad days. Remember when Lance never had bad days or even appeared to struggle in the tour?

Long season of preparation? You mean San Remo, Strade Bianche, LBL, Vuelta Catalunya and the Giro?

@@tonyg3091 yes plus many training rides and internal UAE camps

The rivalry started in 2022 actually. Jonas had won almost nothing till 2021.

He just makes excuses

@@alejandrovelasquez9010 i cheer Tadej but Jonas is a super rider too

@@alejandrovelasquez9010 your obviously a f***** ignorant to say something like this

@@81enri Well said. To bad small kids have jumped on the Tadej bandwagon.

Jonas knows he's the best still. I'm not a fanatic for either of them but it's clear from his confidence he believes he can still pull off the TdF. The next grand tour with both of them in good shape is going to be sick I believe. Glad this wasn't the curb stomp that the Giro ended up being.

That would be great. Imagine having a winner of all The Grand Tours and clean at the same time. Wouldn't that be something?

he is not doing it ..he said a few times...he is doing the Olympics and WC

@mrsewe417 CLEAN?😂

Clean 😂😂

He cracked because he was constantly attacking to catch the yellow jersey and visma had a strong team to keep pulling him back. That a lot different to tadej leading by 3mins and having a strong team this year

@@cheesecrackers522that’s Atleast part of it, he had issues with the heat and over feeding that he’s solved too.

Two of the greatest in history? I can name many that have a better palmares than Jonas! What has he won outside of his 2 tour victories? Go look at Coppi, Binda, Bartali, Gimondi, Van Steenbergen, Rik Van Looy, Andre Leducq, Sylvere Maes. Of course you have the likes of Anquetil, Le Blaireau, Big Mig, Le pistolero, Pantani, Charly Gaul etc. No need to bring Le Cannibale in to it, he is unreachable. Pog is awesome, and may well get into rarified air of Hinault etc. But Jonas never will, a one trick pony, although its an awesome trick.

@@markhill9275 i am a big fan of tadej, but jonas deserves respect, i think that thank to jonas Tadej had improved a lot, especially in grand tour.

Two of the greatest? Or are they the top men of these era putting on a brilliant, close battle that is entertaining to watch. Merckx, Hinault, Fignon, LeMond, Anquetil and now we talking "greatest."

Jonas is not even close to the greatests in history

@@TheSaturnVPog will overshadow ALL of these. Except Merckx.

It is easy to beat a nan coming out from ICU, isn't't it?

@@user-so3zx9pg7n vinny said he put up his best numbera on that climb. Just how tis son

It's world wide, their cumulative IQ and professionalism have plummeted in the last decades.

Roles have reversed from last year. Tadej is the better bike racer look at the number of stages he's won versus the wheelsucker. Jonas has impressed given his terrible crash but this ain't his year.

@@TimSleppyTadej has always been stronger than Jonas, Jonas just had a better team.

@@elouan4067 imo pogacar can be better all around but on long climb i think vingegaard can be a little better, we havent seen full form pogacar vs full form vingegaard yet

@@elouan4067 That is definately not true, Jonas beat him mano oh mano last year, the only reason Jonas could win with his team riding hard was to put the race in a hard condition where he is the strongest. I guess you dont know about numbers but the earlier years the numbers dont lie Jonas was just stronger in climbing than pog. However this year Pogi suddenly improved 5% a massive improvement I have never seen before in cycling.

@@elouan4067 you don’t have to dislike Jonas Just because you love Pogacar.. Jonas Beat tadej by 7 minutes last year. And Yates (Pogacar’s teammate) was number 3 in gc. Just appreciate the great battles they give us

Covid in the peloton

Probably even more fishy that someone left him for dead on that mountain after that same someone won the Giro by ten minutes without breaking a sweat. Is that what you mean by fishy?

@@mrsewe417 Poor Vin fans. GO Crying loud now !!

Its not the same. He has been able to train, its not that it wasnt a bad crash for remco, its that vingegaard punctured his lung had a whole rib cage broken and a collarbone. Remco had "just" a collarbone and a scapular broken. While that is bad for sure, it doesnt impede training in the same way. And doesnt put you in Intensive care unit for weeks like with vingegaard. On top remco was able to go to races after that. He was in dauphine fx. Jonas had to cancel all races up to.

”Five minutes quicker than Armstrong up the climb”

@@dcataj5085 The cycling press defects with "Better fueling,Aerodynamics,Keytones your grandmas chicken soup....blah blah.Anyone with an IQ higher than thier shoe size knows its utter BS.

@@dcataj5085 which means Vingegaard who was in hospital 2 months ago and pulled for Pogacar for 5 kilometres on that climb was still 4 minutes faster than Armstrong. So if you want to imply Pogacar is on the juice, Vingegaard is as well.

@@dcataj5085 And Armstrongs blood used to glow in the dark. What an athlete we have got here.

You think?

Good call Sherlock

Does it hurt being this dumb or is it okay to live with?

Guess we will finally have a GIro/Tour winner for the first time since Pantani. He was of course doped to the teeth so its good to have a clean one like Pogi, who drive like a motorbike all year on pure talent and hard work only.

thats the problem, pogi did giro and is now showing 5% improvement compared to anything he has done before. Yesterday he outdid all the dopers in the 90 era except 1 in watts pr kg on 30 minute level. Its getting really sus. I have never heard of any other sport where 5% improvement is possible in a year mid career on the top level. Pog is clearly stronger and Jonas is not weak, but that is getting really sus, Jonas is actually a level above his last year on some points, which is more logcal in terms of the weight loss, but he is also significantly weaker in the sprint and punch.

@@TellusJD Nothing is sus if you ask me though. First off we live in a generation where there are plenty of riders who are levels above the rest in their field, not only, Pogacar, Jonas and Remco, but also MvdP and Van Aert in the classics. Can't compare the 90's era to this era because everything in this sport has changed since then, training methods, material, nutrition and so on. All of these riders, if not every rider in wealthy team is using everything that is not on the doping list, we can be sure of that. But as long as they are not using anything illegal, which imo is close to impossible since they are tested pretty much after every race. I don't see the point of calling it sus. Whether this is a healthy thing to do is another discussion ofc.

Takes one to know one, right?

As if the interviewers aren’t introducing more unnecessary risk by swarming him like that daily

Covid going around. Keep up.

Of course it is, there have been many reports of Covid and general sickness around the Tour this year. He has worked incredibly hard to get where he is, why risk losing it all, if something as simple as a mask could maybe prevent it?

Whats the excuse? He is saying its one of his best performances, and gives props to Pogachar for being super strong. They have great respect for eachother, stop being cringe dickriding fans who only reads clickbait titles and comments, if you took time to watch these interviews before just commenting hatred lmao.

"Tadej was just stronger" ... What more do you want him to say?! His crash IS a valid excuse and part of the explanation... And yes, I said PART of the explanation.

@alejandrovelasquez9010 He givens you no reason to dislike him. Why do you? It’s so childish. He respects Pogačar and made ZERO excuses.

Don’t think he’s making any excuses.

Just let him comment stupid things like that. If it makes his sad life a little happier

Yep. He is captain Fantastic. We have never seen anyone dominate like him. I mean never anyone not doped of course.

@mrsewe417 Your trolling is strong 😂

I think he was pretty straight up. Yesterday Pog beat Armstong's record of the last climb by 2 minutes. They got same bike weight as back then. 2 minutes is a lot and Lance was off his face on dope. At those times and before, heart attacks were happening in the Peloton with EPO so hope it doesn't bring in a new batch of victims.

​Remco also beat Armstrong record today @@jerrychicken967

He is honest Jonas is climbing better than ever, pogi is unreal right now. The watts dont lie. Pogacar improved 5% compared to anything he has ever done before in 1 year. And he is up there among the best climbs ever done in the 90s let that sink in. The calculations are right now that he is at the point if not better than pantani in 94-96 the only clear better climb is bjarne riis on heautacam 1996.

What’s not to like about him? I’m a huge fan of both tadej and Jonas. Don’t care who wins out of the two.

Could you elaborate that nonsens !??

So he is doped but still can't beat a clean Pog? Doping must be overrated.

Use your brain, before using your keyboard 🤡

Tour de France is not one day you idiot, the teams have strategy during the tour and he know he can mantain his level during the days, last tour we saw how a couple of bad days took the tour away from Pogacar because Jonas was more consistent during the tour...what if Pogacar burns out? Is it illegal if Jonas wins because of that?? Dont think so

Remco said in an interview yesterday that he could have dropped Jonas, while Jonas was the one dropping him... But yeah fans will be fans I guess. All three are performing insanely well even after the injuries Remco and Jonas had this year.

Are you plain deaf? He said he has to hope for Pog to have a bad day. How is that the same as saying he is going to win or saying he is a favorite? Please do better.

I dont know what you hear but it seems you dont understand at all what hes saying.

He said yesterday that on Stage 15 he would win and he ended up losing. I told my friends he would win and he made a fool out of me. I’m not backing him anymore. Too many mind games. He should let his legs do the talking.

@@burronortenoyou just made a fool of yourself yet again, mate.

@timliscum2861 So, clearly by your example, you just give up whenever something difficult happens?
