Tour de France: Vingegaard and pogacar, alone on another planet
Is Tadej Pogacar less strong than last year? Probably. But the Slovenian’s insolent domination last year, if it owed much to his superiority in the mountains as in the time (he had won the first at Cholet before managing the second),
The fall of the first week had decimated some of the adversity, and Jonas Vingegaard, while having served his substitute leadership role remarkably well, was not yet fully prepared to challenge him.
The Danish language, unquestionably, has changed in twelve months. Ultra-complete, authoritarian without being tyrannical, excellent tactician, he committed a no-fault during these three weeks of Tour.
Once all this is stated, it does not answer the question: is it more the defeat of a slightly withdrawn Pogacar (we will not go so far as to speak of decline for a boy of his age, let us be reasonable) or the triumph of a Vingegaard now installed on heights where no one would have imagined it thirteen months ago?, according to Eurosport.
