A shout out to Tratnik and how Pogi managed the race. When Pogi got to the Tratnik group after Tratnik had sat on for over a lap he told him to bury himself until he finally blew on the climb. Kept the lead at over 1min and decimated the Belgian chase. That minute was enough for Pogi to manage things and keep the chase always just out of sight. Superb race management.
Considering original Slovenian plan, Roglic will be on TT and Pogacar would race on the road, means Roglic, on this race, was for tactical purposes only. He attacked once, and after that attack Pogi attacked, while Roglic remained in peloton, causing hesitancy, what was pretty efficient, enough, for Pogi to win. That's why Roglic has so smiley face after the race.
I love watching a pure racing..and this was aexactly like that...always kept about 40-50 seconds..bcs he said he wasnt' want want kill himself on climbs..pure perfection...
They were already cooked coz the race was so hard from the start. They know that they are racing for second place and didn't want to risk spending more energy.
They didn't take his attack too seriously at 100km. So they reacted too late. When they reacted, no one wanted to work together. And in the last 20km everyone was cooked so they were just fighting for podium at that point
He who dares - wins. The others feared failure and therefore could never win. In golfing terms, the others left their winning putt short of the hole. Podg’s putt was 10 foot past the hole if he missed 😁💪
In a sense that was probably a good move for him. Everyone thought it was crazy. But the course didn’t seem quite as well structured for him as he thought. As remco said it was possible to get a draft in a lot of the course. If he went later MVDP and others may have actually been able to follow. As it was they just fought amongst themselves and gave him the break he may not have had later in the race. It was maybe stupid but also maybe not stupid.
I'm not sure he actually does know the moment to go, it's simply any moment he decides to go becomes the race winning move because nobody can ride more than a few km on his wheel it seems.
When I watched again the replay of Tadej Pogačar’s astonishing attack and his look of surprise when he looked round to see who was with him, it occurred to me that maybe he fully expected Roglič to be there. Maybe when Pogacar suddenly decided to attack before Roglič wasted any effort chasing with everyone glued to his wheel, he intended it as a clear invitation to Roglič that now was the time to go. He must have known that Van der Poel and Remco were caught up behind, and out of position and very few 'Klingons' would be able to hold the two winners of TdF and Giro going full gas on a hard climb. I believe he imagined that Roglič would realise that if they both ripped up the climb together they could get clean across to the group ahead where they had a Slovenian team mate asset Jan Tratnik in waiting. Pogačar certainly looked surprised when he looked around to see who was with him. Maybe he was astonished/dismayed that Roglič was nowhere to be seen. That meant either he didn't have the legs, or it was treachery and he was allowing Tadej to blow himself out. As Horner said - it was a gift for Roglič, he was off the hook, he could sit on the Belgians and Dutch and scoop the finish - if he had the legs. After it became clear that Primoz didn't have the legs and Pogačar won anyway, maybe Tadej was obliged to slot that explanation into the memory hole. We may have to wait a few years for the memoires to spill the beans.....
He had to atack. There was no other chance. His domestics was gone. Roglič wouldn't have helped him. Oponents were attacking. And he know that there's Tratnik in front. So he knwe that tje best defence is the attack. If he had not attacked, he would have lost. Ther no no chance that he alone can control the whole race for 100 km.
@mortenrollsen271 haha! Mate he's looks light weight I think he'd absolutely smash you and by the looks of things he's way out of shape I think he drop you with easy in his race weight
Pogacar went for an insane move, but it somehow worked due to the Frenchman helping him for a lap and then Remco causing chaos in the chase group. Also Tadej is a ridiculous rider obviously
Sivakov was not much of a help tho. Pog actually dragged him quite some way hoping he could keep up with him so they'd go for a UAE 1-2. Didn't happen, nobody can keep up with THE KING!
No, that is not the hardest I have ever seen Tadej push himself. At no point did he look pained or bothered. Of course, that is outside looking in. But that was the poorest and most disorganized chase I have ever seen in a major race. 😒
Yeah it's one of the few times I've seen him bonking. Those last hills I bet his legs were almost dead. He pushed through and used the downhill to recover and cruise to the end.
Well, depending on his strength. Because at some point he looked struggling but then in the last uphill (if I'm not mistaken) he seemed to have recovered a little bit.
@@TwistedFateism yeah, but he could have at least stayed longer in the front group to help save Tadej from possible attacks... Idk looks like Primoz didn't want to help Tadej win
Well said. Dani is fine. Adam is like a Butlins comedian. The very harsh shoutey Irish woman is terrible. Who told her to dress like a hooker in her late forties.
Completely juiced to the eyeballs. No open mouth breathing, no sweat. Man had to pour water over himself at the end to make it look like he’d done anything other than sit at a desk for 5 hours.
All the thing he use, everyone else is using (and wouldn't add that much that extra power), one plus for Pog is he was born with unaturaly fast recovery (like 3 times faster then normal person) and if that's the juice you're talking about you can't do anything about it - fk it.

100km ahead of all that was retro legendary win of all times
He is on a whole another level this year. Absolutely astonishing. No way he can do better than this year.
it was astonishing how he tore apart the field after the move. the panic and disorganisation won it for him
Pogačar was ours biggest weapon.Roglič is 34 and he has Vuelta and TT on his back.I don't believe he wouldn't gave it all for national team.
I love watching a pure racing..and this was aexactly like that...always kept about 40-50 seconds..bcs he said he wasnt' want want kill himself on climbs..pure perfection...
No his rivals didn't failed to match his pace they failed to even work together because is better to not haul rivals than try to win
They were already cooked coz the race was so hard from the start. They know that they are racing for second place and didn't want to risk spending more energy.

Even at the Tour when he crushed Jonas, Pog was not as cooked as he was today. What a race.

He's absolutely nothing compared to me in my peak no joke
Mate, I'd drop you after a full Fondue and Raclette.
Yo this guy might actually beat him look at his 2 hour power 😱😱😱😱😱💥💥💥💥💥👹👹👹
@mortenrollsen271 haha! Mate he's looks light weight I think he'd absolutely smash you and by the looks of things he's way out of shape I think he drop you with easy in his race weight
That kind of level sounds impressive, in fairness.
I predict that Pogacar will be the first ever 7 time Tour de France winner!
Entirely possible
Armstrong did it
Armstrong was not capable of winning giro/tour and classics in the same year,because he doped himself to the core for the TDF.
Pogacar went for an insane move, but it somehow worked due to the Frenchman helping him for a lap and then Remco causing chaos in the chase group. Also Tadej is a ridiculous rider obviously

Pog was on limit. Another 10km and would be finished
Man good thing there wasn’t another 10k!
Hahah cmon man, that’s definitely what I would call it a smart observation 😂
Yeah it's one of the few times I've seen him bonking. Those last hills I bet his legs were almost dead. He pushed through and used the downhill to recover and cruise to the end.

There is not "would be" in professional sport. Another "would be" comment with no sense.
Where was Roglič?
not a best friend when you need him
I mean Roglič was at front of the peleton when Pogačar attacked. So focus was on Roglič and Tadej attacked.
@@TwistedFateism yeah, but he could have at least stayed longer in the front group to help save Tadej from possible attacks... Idk looks like Primoz didn't want to help Tadej win
