They just ruined bike racing.

I fear that UAE is just too strong as a team, even if Jonas is somehow getting back to 100% (which i can't imagine).

Look, at the end of the day all we can do is speculate and give our 2 cents here and there. Jonas broke this and that he can't be at 100%, He'll never be as strong again,so n so has a strong team, so and so should recover for the Vuelta and forget about the tour, so and so should maybe try for stage wins etc... The truth however is that we're not Jonas and aren't at the Visma camp. We don't know. So lets wait and see 🤷🏾‍♀️

6:06 Riis did NOT win the Tour de France.

I'm afraid your beloved anchovy is not winning Le Tour.

Hahaha I don’t think @CyclingDane could ever go against Jonas. 2022 Jumbo with most based team and 2023 with Tadej coming in after broken wrist. Both are legends, both are great, I can’t wait!!

Ebike wins all day long

Pogacar has issues with acceleration in high altitude? If you all have watched him in the Giro this year I'm afraid that there is no room for doubt! Let Jonas recover. This year belongs to Tadej!

truth be told visma is in a very low point with I believe both wout and vingegaar not in full and wout not joining the tdf. sepp did not do much this year. and its also a year with 4 greats fighting for it Poja, remco, primoz and if tur vingegaar.

The famous Tadbugacar

If Jonas skip tdf we will receive one more boring grand tour Pogachar dominantion

Copium, sorry mate but it's tough for Vingo this year after that crash.

Tadi will not bonk this year at the TDF and gift the trophy to Jonas ❤

Ayuso = Matteo Kuss = Yates Jonas = Pog Wout = ???? Visma has the upper hand

he cant win. just like pogi couldnt win when he crashed in spring. at tdf level a month of missed preperation is just too much

Con l'aiuto di una squadra alla sua altezza.

No.7. The Lidl Trek rider bought himself down after moving to the left after looking over his right shoulder

Jonas will never be the same. Too fragile

He can't beat Taj at this moment

Personally I don't like UAE lineup for TDF. Too much mountain domestiques and too little power for the flat and control breakaways. Mountain trains are overrated imo. however I don't know if they had any alternative to replace for example sivakow or almeida or ayuso with someone who is better on the flat

it'll be interesting because tadej seems to have gotten stronger, as if that were possible

The only way Jonas beats Pogi is if he's at 100%.... otherwise you'll get the Paris-Nice 2023 version of Jonas

did you see Pogacha unzip the jeasey? That means he was crush. I saw that 3 times. All made by Jonas. He is the only one can beat Pogacha in mountain.

No, Jonas should rest and recover until next year. Period.

Honestly, I just hope he is able to get back to the level he was at before the accident. Yes, I would like to see him ready at the end of the month, but if he isn't that is alright. Heal up JV, we need you in the sport.

If Vingegaard is at 💯 % he’ll very likely to wins it for the 3rd time in the role.

Well with a pulling out of the Olympics. Can't be a good sign either way. But still looking for the Battle of the Year in France!!

Jorgenson will be solid, Kuss won't be worth the cost of his hotel room. Visma will struggle to get on the podium.

If Vingegaard was still on a hospital bed groaning and moaning, writhing in pain, I would say he is OUT of Le Tour. But this is NOT the case. He is going to win his third consecutive TDF.

The Di2 batteries in the seat post may be THE power source for the mechanical engine. The Di2 seat post battery seems innocently overlooked except that a rider might change for a new bike multiple times during a stage as these batteries will last only an hour max. (HIGHLY SUSPECT)

Prediction: Jonas skips the Tour to get a full recovery, Pog wins it somewhat handily and then decides to go for the Vuelta to get the Trifecta. Jonas goes to the Vuelta to block the Trifecta and it's a battle for the ages between Visma and UAE.

I have said it from dec 23 2023. I have the Pog win loose or draw. I wrote on my Facebook page that the Pog will take the giro tour double. Injured or no injured jonas remco and Roglic. The mature Pog is a different rider. Mark these words

Am going with Jonas. There’s no way Pogacar beating him at any grand tour.

I'm not even going to watch this video....... It's not going to happend!

I hope he waits until next year. One more fall and that would be the end of it. Please, wait until next year...you are still a young bucko.💪😎💪🚴‍♀️

I would love to see great competition between Jonas, Tadej, Primož and Remco this year. This would be great for Tour and for fans. I am team Pogačar, but I respect Jonas and his abilities (the same for Primož and Remco). The truth is Tadej is fully well prepared for Tour after Giro and most importantly without injuries, so if anything unplanned won't happen, he will win this year.

I believe the stage started from Saint Etienne which is 145 km away, including multiple climbs (Croix de Fer, Glandon,..), so you might need to reset the test to take this into account (and maybe bring a spare battery) 😅

How good was Pogi before rookie year? At 18 Pogi followed Majka almost till the end of hard mountain climb called Rogla (15km long, 7,3% average gradient). That was Tour of Slovenia 2017 At 19 Pogi won Tour l'Avenir. At 20 - topic of your video

He won’t be winning no Tour this year. Don’t burden the kid with unrealistic expectations

Jonas can win Tour 2024

Your bias clouds your critical thinking. Pogi from a conditioning POV isn't the same rider from the past 2 years. He literally went and changed things up to beat Jonas. And yet you can't seem to see it.

Team, Team, Team & knowing how to win the race as two time winner.

It could be nice but it could be a miracle from the low he has been.

Sorry, second comment. Looking back to last year's Vuelta, I really do think Jonas was the strongest GC rider, but I think (then) Jumbo made the right choice in respecting the red jersey and making Sepp the chosen GC in the end. However, if they had just gone all in for themselves, I think Jonas would have won and taken a double last year. But we'll never know, will we!? Also, I know a lot of folks are gonna have strong reactions and opinions to this. Can we keep it polite in the replies, please? I love cycling discussion so much but YT has really become the most toxic comment section and people are horrible to each other. I'd rather connect with other fans in a fun way.

I love your channel so much. <3 (My favorite comments to any video about Jonas is all the people that think they know better about his training and competition readiness than his own team managers and trainers. lol.)

Unpopular opinion Ayuso can make it Top 3 tdf.

Here we go again, the party of Viking helmets and Tuborg beer is spewing propaganda. I get it, if I were Jonas' fanboy and his podcasting supporter, I'd be spinning tales about how Jonas can outfly Pog too. Hey, even UAE's people are saying Jonas is still the favorite to win the Tour - and they ate it right out of their hands. Maybe next they'll claim he can ride a unicycle up Mont Ventoux while juggling water bottles. After all, who needs reality when you have a good story and a helmet with horns? Not a single whisper about Remco and Roglic gracing the Tour with their presence. Clearly, they must be too busy perfecting their pastry-eating techniques and conducting Tuborg taste tests to bother with mere cycling objectivity to report news. 🥳🤠🥸😎

one thing to add to the prospect of team and helper strength is that for Jumbo its always certain they work as a team, while for UAE im not too sure about that, i have already seen some interviews where helpers were pretty vague about their own ambitions in the tour. so maybe on paper they have a stronger team, but more ego's in the team too.

He might be riding and be able to hold onto the peloton or even hunt for a stage…but no way he will be able to compete for GC. Look around Wout. He was pretty basic at the Tour of Norway and he „only“ broke his ribs and some other bones. No punctured lung…

Just hope it can keep it interesting because the Giro was not
