Tadej Pogacar is the cyclist with the highest specific weight on the Tour
Let’s review the names that choose to do something important in the Tour de France, apart from Tadej Pogacar.
Jonas Vingegaard is number one, a cyclist who arrives brutal, as we saw in Dauphiné, to whom we wish luck because, honestly, he seems the only one capable of stopping the Slovenian.
Richard Carapaz, an admirable guy, but he doesn’t seem to be at the level of his fellow podium finishers two years ago in this same race.
Then there are the Spanish, Landa & Mas, I don’t see them, really, not even for the podium.
There are still loose pieces like Gaudu, Higuita, Hindley, Egan Bernal, Simon Yates…
Who of these come out of the mold?
Simple, none.
With Vingegaard at the top, only Pogacar can avoid his monologue on the Tour.
Last year we wrote this after finishing my degree…
The thing is simple, no route is good, no chained, no proposal, if there are no cyclists who set fire to the race and the spiritscyclists like Tadej Pogacar who does not leave indifference on the road and revolutionizes everything: this Tour de France shows.
Only a legendary talent, of the time, like the Slovenian has been able to save, with the help of others, a career doomed to blockade and conservatism.
It seems incredible that we are talking about the Tour de Francethe same race that, with all the love in the world, Froome and his people took from us.
With Pogacar the Tour recovers the great afternoons of July, the afternoons glued to the television with the imagination jumping from mountain to mountain, thousands of kilometers away in the north.
That’s right, almost everything good that happened in the race was thanks to the Slovenian.
His attack on the cobblestone, the wildness of the Jumbo in the Granon, the distant rides of Van Aert to press the march, the qualitative leap of Vingegaard… everything had a common denominator.
Tadej Pogacar has become the parsley of cycling, present in all sauces, in all muds.
Returning to what was said, the other day we wished Vingegaard luck, for being the only one on paper capable of stopping him.
The duel is posed incredible and Pogacar will surely be the first to hit, as you already know he doesn’t know how to wait and does damage when he does.
The best of the race passes around him, his power of intimidation is historic, he forces others to bring out the best
