July 14, 20232 yr Pogacar's girlfriend is cute. She's a professional cyclist, too, and extremely fit.

July 14, 20232 yr Pogacar is surely going to attack at some point. The question is when. Kwiatkowski surely has the stage win at this point

Oh wait there it is.
July 14, 20232 yr I think he got 5" on the race and the 3rd place time bonus (4") EDIT: 4" and 4" - 9" gap overall. Edited July 14, 20232 yr by Captain Ron
July 14, 20232 yr Pog putting the hammer down and chipping away; grabbed some time and doesn't have to defend yellow.

July 14, 20232 yr The dumb dildos that run alongside the riders as they go up this stage make me want to toss them over the side of the cliff. We'll get some moron who collides with a rider one of these days.

July 14, 20232 yr Surprised Pog didn't attack sooner. Tomorrow looks brutal, could be a deciding day.

July 15, 20232 yr Not sure all those days of JV putting riders in the break paid off well today. UAE looking like le train bleu there up the Colombier but TP didn’t seem to have the legs to rip anyone apart. Hell of a burst though and Jonas can’t match it. Keep chipping away, maybe take a flier tomorrow for yellow or just have it be equal going into the TT and he’s got it. Still a great Tour though!
July 15, 20232 yr Question will be if JV can crack TP on a long climb as he is the more pure climber. Plenty of those left and it only takes one HC to do it. Otherwise I think TP takes it on the time trial.

Yeah, but I can only think of 2 times they have raced against each other in a 3rd week TT. In 2021, Pog had a 5 minute lead and was riding not to crash. Jonas was racing to hold off Carapaz who was close in 3rd place. Last year, Pog was out of gas from attacking to catch up all week (not to mention put himself in a hole chasing Roglic early in the Granon stage). That’s kind of an aggy type stat. This big ass crash delay sucks. Edited July 15, 20232 yr by Horn Dogg

Otherwise I think TP takes it on the time trial. I think this idea that Pog can’t climb is overblown too. Jonas is a great climber, but Pog is the modern cannibal and has won plenty of long climbs. I still think that if he had just stuck in Jonas wheels on Granon stage last year we wouldn’t even be having this argument. I could be wrong though, this tour will definitely show us the truth.
