How Tadej Pogačar Changed the Tour de France

Publicado 2024-07-20
Gone are the days of boring Team Sky or US Postal dominance. Tadej Pogacar and Jonas Vingegaard have made the Tour de France much more enjoyable to watch in the last 4 years. In this video we go into some thoughts behind why this is the case.

Tadej Pogacar soon becomes the first rider since Mercx, Indurain and Pantani to do the Giro d'Italia and Tour de France double. How did he do it? The 2024 Tour de France is coming to a close and it's been filled with great final kilomters and exciting highlights across all the mountains.

How will Jonas Vingegaard bounce back in the 2025 Tour de France? Will he take the yellow jersey or will Visma Lease A Bike look to focus elsewhere?

    Pogacar vs Vingegaard is one of the greatest battel in sports history
  • @garethyoung24
    We can thank Sagan in part for how riders are racing today
  • @stuffbenlikes
    Pogcar is amazing. I'm also extremely impressed with people like Van Der Poel competing in pretty much any type of bike race that exists.
  • @stonedage5087
    Pogacar is already one of the greats, looking at his age he could be the greatest of all time. Besides the fact that he is freakishly good, he also has some sort of star quality to it, which makes him appealing in every possible way. Combining all his abilities with the technology available to increase performance, he can be the guy to Change the sport dramatically, as the Next generarion of riders Will want to be " the Next pogacar". Pogacar is actually so good, that only himself could prevent him from keep on winning. If he refrains his efforts, riding less with his heart and more with his brain, relaying on his teamates a bit more, he Will be unstoppable. At the same time, we don't him to Change do we?

    Pog is insane what a climber and all rounder. I remember Indurain, Froome multiple tour winners but Pog could win 5 plus TdF’s easy.
  • @jeanloui7
    True that the "Sky train" was incredibly BORING. That year when Wiggins won the TDF was probably the worst TDF ever. Happy to see Pogacar and some others ride with a bit of panache these days, even though it's still nothing compared to the races of last century.

    You too can break one of Pantani's records by scrolling back up and liking this video. Pantani 0, you 1. 💪💪
  • @jimgray3346
    This premise is wack. Everyone knows Vingegaard rode the Jumbo train to victory in 2022 and 23 same as Froome and Armstrong. This year Jonas's team is injured and so is he, but otherwise, they'd have tried to grind down Pog same as ever. Vin seems to be a nice guy but he isn't exactly an exciting cyclist, just a great climber on a great team battling a great opponent who IS exciting
  • @Mrwhomeyou
    idk if I can agree to many of the talking points here, it ultimately comes down to how much stronger the top riders are compared to the rest of the field, or else none of these spontaneous attacking strategies would work at all. And you gotta remember that chaos is how most cycling races go, this "current strategy" never went away except on the very very very top races, all the other races pro and amateur are chaotic as always. The "sky train" was rare even in team sky days, most of all races were chaotic af
  • @thelonious-dx9vi
    Hard to say who's next in the long term, but expect Jonas to come srsly hard next year, Remco too. I love me some Tadej, but I'll be surprised if he just destroys at will, like this year. Either way, it is a thing to behold.
  • @PsychUP101
    Sorry bro but you reading the script is kinda distracting me from the content. No hate tho, great content, keep it coming.
  • @Lotschi
    In my opinion cycling is one of the greatest sports to follow, currently. The only downside is that there are always the same guys winning. I wonder why this is the case?

    We're less pre-EPO and more so, post-EPO. Party on Poggie, new and better pharmaceuticals. :face-blue-smiling:
