>>156536006
He looked good on the Tourmalet, Pog took most of the time on the descent and false flat climb, which is perfect for him as a classics rider.
Problem now is that Vingegaard needs to attack to gain time, while Pogi can just follow his wheel and counter.

From the looks of burrito's body language he could have kept pushing and potentially stayed with Jonas. He seemed to let off. When he sat up he looked comfortable, even when he let Jonas go. I suspect team orders were to sit up and ride for 3rd. I wonder if he could have stuck with Jonas the rest of the way.

>>156536219
I doubt Jonas will even get an opportunity, and if he does needless to say it'll be a pointless endeavour. It's done. Paul was a bit disappointing but he's still young so there's some hope. Until the cunt retires I cannot see him being challenged. This is not humanely possible and unless anyone has super talent and is being doped to the gills with whatever brand new nuclear grade dope is on the market, we'll see no change for years to come. The concerning part is what will they do with del burrito once poogacar has retired. Will he also get the special sauce?

Will Jonas intentionally lose time now so he can go stage hunting?
>>
>>156536746
No. Second is too important. It's more likely that he will go completely defensive.
>>
"I had asked for a lead-out and I didn't get one," he said about the final phase in the company of teammate Florian Lipowitz .
Yes, I was angry, and rightly so. In the Tour of Catalonia, I rode at the front for him for 30 kilometers. I asked to do 1 kilometer of work at the front, and that wasn't possible. That made me angry, and that will need to be discussed thoroughly tonight.
So, at Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe, they need to hold a round-table discussion. Anyway, how does Evenepoel view the bigger picture after Tadej Pogacar's demonstration on the Tourmalet?
Evenepoel: "It was pretty okay. I did what I could do. In any case, I wasn't planning on overdoing it at the end of the Tourmalet, because a long descent was still waiting."
"UAE went extremely fast. We were already driving pretty fast ourselves, but they went extremely fast."
Evenepoel made up ground on the descent. Our man on the motorbike was impressed. "Couldn't he follow me? (grins). I knew that with my descending skills I could still catch up to the group in front of me (with Del Toro, Lipowitz, and Seixas)."
>>
Make it so the leader can add max 30 seconds to his lead per race, or something. This is reaching pole vault levels of over.

Still a smaller margin of victory than Vingegaard achieved over Pogacar in Granon stage of 2022 Tour: 2:38 v 2:51.
>>
redpill me on jorgenson. what the fuck is he doing? he finished fourth in dauphine, he should always have been in group evenepoel today. instead he's riding like just another campenaerts, only doing even less to help out vingegaard.
>>
>>156536822
He is suggesting something of a stop-loss mechanism whereby no matter how much time on the road you take, the maximum amount of time you can gain on the next rider per stage would be 30 sec.
>>
>>156537044
He cracked like an egg on big climbs last year too.
Maybe he did it on purpose so UAE finally let's him go into a break and chase a stage win.
>>
>>156536785
this kills cycling. why even attack before the last km if you can't gain more than 30 seconds.

>>156537155
Ironically the idea would just solidify Pogi's dominance because it would shift the GC favor to sprint wins and bonus seconds, and make it harder for his rivals to claw back time if Pogi cracks or crashes
>>
>>156536932
Literally this. 2nd is 2nd but Jonas was fucked today. Looked like shit at the finish. Either race for second with the Remco/Sexias group or DNF. If they send him to another tour against poogacar they should be ashamed of themselves.
>>
>>156537154
i don't expect him to ever podium in tdf, but he should at least be working for his leader. disintegration of visma seems total.
>>
Decathlon pas normal in Austria hmm...
>>
>>156537183
Almost 3 minutes today. Got a few more mountainous stages. Couple rolling hilly stages. If he wanted to humiliate Visma one last time he could easily win by 10+ minutes.
>>
>>156536767
>"I understand that Del Toro and Sepp Kuss aren't driving, but Lidl-Trek was there with just the two of them and they didn't want to drive right away. I thought: what do you have to lose? If we work together, maybe we can get as far as Jonas."
>"But a few riders wanted to drag again," said Evenepoel, who also briefly placed his hand on Seixas's shoulder.
>"Was there something between us? No, I hadn't understood him. He also said that he didn't understand why some riders were dragging themselves along. I told him that this is the Tour and that it wouldn't be the last time."
>>
>>156537044
What the fuck is jorgenson at this point seems like a discount breakaway merchant that has to work

I'll stop Pogacar, don't worry
>>
>>156537303
Mühlberger winning on pure rage at not getting a tdf spot.
>>
>>156536948
What a stage, real contrast to what we get now. He was smashed to bits through Visma's good tactics. He over played his hand and made mistakes, then cracked. Today he beats Jonas by just under that margin, but Jonas never cracked. There was no back and forth. Just a small attack and gone. Christ this needs to end, this could be a fun event. But the last few seasons it's been almost identical. Even if poogacar was winning every year as he is I'd love for there to be some competition and back and forth at least. Erased that possibility when they responded to his humiliation by getting him on the super sauce. I mean... new coach.
>>
>Evenepoel: "I asked for a lead-out and I didn’t get it. I think I was rightly angry. In Catalunya I rode on the front for 30 Kms, now I ask him to ride 1 Km on the front and that doesn’t happen. That did make me angry, yes. That needs to be discussed properly tonight."

I don't think Paul will ever beat poogacar. I don't think anyone will ever beat poogacar. The gap is absolutely enormous. Unless they put Paul on the secret serum he has no chance until poogacar retires. And then if burrito gets the serum once poogacar's gone, it's fucking over until WADA pull their fists out of each others grotty shitty rectums. Padun got shadow banned for his obvious doping. Why the fuck are they not shadow banning UAE? All they need to ask is to tone this shit down because it's destroying the sport.

The elephant in the room. Exactly the same with man shitty who are facing 115 financial fair play charges in the premier league. The FA just came out with a proposal for teams breaking FFP to be able to PAY a fine instead of go to court and have consequences. Jeez who does that benefit? Surely not the very team who is rich enough to fight FFP charges?

Arabs are corrupt, spanish and italians are corrupt, swiss are corrupt. The UAE team is a match made in heaven for the UCI. Lines a lot of people's pockets. All for what? So the UAE cycling team that no one cares about can get more exposure to people who don't give a fuck? How does a nation even come to sponsor a cycling team, and what benefit do they expect to get? Sports washing as an absolute meme, no one is thinking any different of the UAE state because they've got a successful cycling team. Much the opposite when you run blatant doping programs which can only occur if you're corrupting officials, which is full circle to people's negative perception of the country in the first place. Dumb retarded arabs herded camels before they had an oil state, I expect nothing less.

Axelgaard's analysis of Stage 6 has been published.
https://sport.tv2.dk/cykling/2026-07-09-da-vingegaards-mareridt-blev-til-virkelighed

>The race looks closed.
>Whether it's a few seconds one way or the other is not the decisive factor, however. The decisive factor is that Vingegaard can live with the difference between the two rivals at this point in the race. It is reasonable to assume that this will change in his favor later, and had he lost 30 seconds today, he could still have dreamed of a third Tour victory.
>It is much more difficult now. Even if Vingegaard is the best in the end, there will have to be a significant shift if he is to get 2.38 on a route that already lacks Vingegaard stages. It is difficult to see that it will not require either an accident, an offday or a definite collapse for Pogacar, and while no one is in control of accidents, it is not exactly the case that Pogacar has waded into either offdays or collapses in the last few years. Therefore, there is much evidence that Pogacar did exactly what Prudhomme wanted to avoid, namely closing the race in the first week – and he can only thank himself and Gouvenou for that.
>Vingegaard can therefore live with his performance, but he has difficulty living with the result. Of course, after the promising Giro he had hoped that the gap had been smaller, but after the unconvincing start one could have feared that it would have gone much worse. There is every reason to believe in some good duels between the two rivals at the end of the race. The duel for the overall victory just seems to be over.

Wiggins thinks it's very possible he'll DNF. I can see that. He looked absolutely fucked at the end. As long as 2nd doesn't go to burrito I would like to see Jonas either drop off or DNF. Better for everyone. Another humiliating 2nd is not worth it. A bit of vuelta prep to go for the double would be a good idea. Rumour that poogacar is also in attendance though.

yes i mean pogacar gained 35s in the descent. they always say visma lab are the most prepared & the most professional team but vingegaard is a more than good descender, and pogacar was descending on the limit and this will be forgotten as people will just say "pogacar dopage" but it didn't look too bad on the top of the tourmalet but then pogacar killed it in the descent

my boy remco, he's a funny guy, he's always so blunt and doesn't always understand the game which makes him such a fun character.

but he is not without merit here; he closed down 30s in the descent to catch the seixas group, and then they were like with 8 guys who you think all benefited by pulling so they could get closer to vingegaard. he must have been catchable. but it was remco doing all the work (like he always does), probably because he's the only guy that truly believes that he can beat vingegaard. i'm sure even remco has given up on pogacar desu

love that little kid. always drama

He got his monument and now he can ride into the sunset.
Also he has an infected elbow or some shit and the might have to chop off his arm.

Why wouldn't' they? Keep the gap as close as you can to 2nd but the 3rd place is the race for them. Pretend you're racing for 1st like a retard and you'll definitely lose time to your actual rivals. G3 should have sat up in protest and rolled in 10 minutes down.

Have a bad feeling that Lipo is just a slightly upgraded Bookman, and will fall off a little more each year from now on.

With all due respect to Irishbert, this is why most irish people should never be listened to. The influx of corporate culture in ireland has destroyed their nation. This is the most retarded thing I've heard in a long time.

>unless somebody fails a drug test, they're not doping

Okay lets just end the conversation about his glowing blood. Biggest fraud in sporting history. Absolutely gutting the excitement from the sport. But he hasn't failed so let's just move on! The appeal to authority is bonkers. What a pair of retards.

Riis was clean

So was (is) Rolf

>>156549159
Riis, now this was a man.
Having to be woken up multiple times during the night, to take aspirines so his thick doped blood would keep flowing.

This is a prime example of to which lengths people can go to "win". And it is also why only a naive retard can believe there are clean top sport athletes.

>>156549539
Almost all danish riders were, except Hamburger. (Knud Enemark Jensen was clean too)

poogacar has over egged the pudding. His performances are absolutely absurd and completely unbelievable. I think his ridiculous style of success is going to leave a massive cloud over his career. I cannot imagine people looking back on him in a clear positive light in 20 years. You win by a healthy advantage and you're just better. Win consistently with ridiculous advantages against the best in the world and it really cannot be justified or ignored anymore.

Short termism from the UAE team, retarded convicted staff and the thick slav himself is quite the sight to behold. This is similar to the greed that Armstrong had. If I were him, I call it quits next April if he wins Roubaix. Put on 10kg over the off season and go in all guns blazing. They're flying waaaaay to close to the sun.
>>
>>156541435
the crash didn't even look bad how do you break several ribs like that lol
>>
>>156547962
I still think vingegaard is crackable. He comes with giro in the legs & a weak team. Pogacar is unreachable but they should take the fight to jonas

of course anyone who's ever watched a GT before has seethed at riders looking behind in classification instead of ahead, this literally always happens, but i think they collectively fucked up today not just working together

Murmurs of him being ill too. He looked like garbage today at the finish. Mask might be precaution or something else. Hope he leaves and tries the vuelta. Nothing left for him here, let the podium fight flourish. I know Visma want that 2nd place for sponsors but I don't think it'll be healthy for the team. Kind of going through the motions from here on, probably trying for some stages but we know PooAE are vindictive. Stage hunting + defending 2nd place with a limping rider is going to be difficult.
>>
>According to Brian Holm, the absence of Van Aert from Visma | Lease a Bike’s Tour selection is an advantage for Vingegaard. “Jonas is more prepared than last year. Moreover, Van Aert stayed home, and that is an advantage for Vingegaard. There is now only one leader in the team, and that is him. Jonas is getting all the attention,” said the former team manager.

>Holm was impressed by the Visma team in the team time trial. “It is 1-0 for Visma in the battle against the United Arab Emirates, and it couldn't have started much better,” he said.

Now that the dust has settled, was Brian Holm (63) right?

unironically what is the point of watching anymore if it's already over.

battle for points? young rider? at least tomorrow will be a more exciting stage but still, it sucks that the GC is already basically wrapped up after 6 stages
>>
>>156554782
It was already over before it started. You follow all the other competitions and story lines.
>>
>>156554934
I mean yeah, it was expected another repeat for pogacar, but at the same time it felt like this year might be a little bit closer with Jonas just coming off a Giro victory. I mean I never expected the gap to be this large this early from a single stage, just goes to show how insanely above everyone else he is. I mean you can respect it and everything, but it makes watching it a little more boring when you already know the result.
>>
>>156555171
It was clear from the Giro that Jonas wasn't anywhere near strong enough to beat poga this year
>>
>>156556087
To be fair Jonas was doing the Giro in eco mode. Just save as much as possible.

They didn't even try and yet they almost broke the Aspin record, held by a certain Riccardo RICCO.
And even Bernal was still faster on Tourmalet than Jonas and Pog in '23.
WHAT are they on??

I was in the pub watching the match and there was a girl there wearing a TEAM UAE jacket. She was supporting France. Curious.
>>
>>156557935
imaging wearing that without getting payed for it

>>156557935
I would imagine she also supports barcalona and her favorite player is ronaldo. Slop consooomers.

Team UAE jacket? like a training jacket?

Paul is meant to be the next gen ruder but I am starting to doubt it. Burrito is getting super dope once poogacar leaves. He is the successor in the PooAE dynasty. As long as that team exists there is no chance unless another team can pull a 2022 visma frankenstein operation.
>>
>>156558545
I don't think it was cycling related. Maybe she earned it herself in another sport.

The real story today isn't even Jonas getting kwabbed, it's Failsas, Shitpoowitz and Evenepoop getting mogged by Jonas.

There's Pogachud in alien tier, then there's jonas in what used to be known as "GC contender tier" and then theres a power gap down to all those frauds.

If the "great hope of france" can't keep up with jonas on a bad day, how is he gonna win a grand tour anytime soon.

Are you having a laugh?
Sexas is 19 with a botched tdf prep due to injury. And we have no idea how he can handle a 3 week race. Use your brain Bert and stop responding to sensationalist media.
>>
I’m starting to think Ving Ge Go is a bad descender. Also rape Chris froome for getting the top tube tuck banned. It’s funny cause you can tell these guys are a lot more unstable with their asses in the air hands on the flats
>>
>>156559444
You know it's true, bert. Jonas got gapped today, but jonas also gapped today.
>>
>>156559731
I don't think anyone is denying Jonas is the best of the rest .

good evening gentlemen
i hope pogacar dies
