Is Tadej Pogačar BAD for cycling? I asked Tour de France stage winner Juan Antonio Flecha
Despite just winning the Giro d'Italia, Tadej Pogačar still managed to win his THIRD Tour de France victory at the age of 25. He won 6 stages at the Giro and 6 stages at the 2024 Tour de France. Pogačar has completed the amazing feat of winning two back-to-back Grand Tours...but is his dominance bad for cycling? I asked Tour de France Stage Winner Juan Antonio Flecha this and more.

Let's take a closer look in under 90 seconds. Do you think this was intentional or is this the fault of the organizers?

    I consider that pogacar is very good for cycling not for his individual level but for the media impact that he generates but also as he can be winning all year at a high level he generates that his rivals of renown those who can really beat him by level have to be at 200% physically and mentally to be able to beat pogacar in the big races like vingegaard in the grand tours , remco , van der poel , van aert in the classics.And joans vingegaard deserves more respect than he has at the moment, let's not forget that he is the only rider in the world who can beat pogacar in grand tours. Obviously he didn't win the tour this year but his tour de france is a real feat to finish 2nd in the Tour de France, the most fiercely contested race in the world, when 3 months ago you were in hospital. And in such a short time to come back and be the one who has been the closest to pogacar, also winning a stage and the way he won it is a huge merit. And I have no doubt that Jonas in 2025 will come back stronger than ever to try to win the tour again.

    • @SeeSmithTV
      @SeeSmithTV 2 дня назад

    Jorgensen has been great all season but that's been the point. He's been racing full gas all season and Visma have had to rely on him. But this is out of his range, I think. One weekers, he's great but going hell for leather in the mountains for three weeks, especially without someone like Van Hooydonck in the valleys, it's been tough for them. They just don't have the team. But it ain't over. Col de la Bonette and a tough climb up to Isola on stage 19, another tough stage on 20 and the TT is still a tough one, you never never know.

  • @luiscolon921

    Would be interesting to hear what Mads Pedersen thinks about that sprint. Pedersen is now out of the Tour after the crash that resulted. The real problem, AGAIN, was Philipsen, who once again chopped someone into the barrier. Philipsen should be sent home and he should not be permitted to race again until Pedersen is 100% healed and able to return to racing. The Alpecin management, which is on camera stating they don't care about violating rules so long as it gets them wins, should be severely fined and kicked out of the cars on-course for at least one stage too.

    UCI obviously thought it was wrong, but no guts to go against Cav on his 35th win. They did "warn" both Jasper and Cav for this sprint. I would not have religated anyone. Mads was really cool he said this is racing and what happens. Just a shame that we lost him from the race. As you said you would have to religate 5-6 riders. And to my knowledge that has never been done before. The rule is there to protect riders and it failed here. But then there is no way to make sprinting "safe" at least it is not like the days of Abdoujaparov. But we still have Jasper and Groenewegen who have well earned reputations for being dangerous.

    he clearly didn't hold his line - as the rules command. And the guy who followed his wheel causing a crash behind him was relegated - why then only one guy? And more important: he bumped many fellow riders out of the way before, and therefore he should have relegated - it's simply a joke that they relegated Bauhaus when in fact Cav bumped him twice... way too many crashes, and some of them are because of ruthless riding, the judges should be much straighter to prevent crashes. Btw, the Phillipsen relegation the next day was absolute correct, his sprints are almost criminal...
