When Armstrong crushed his opposition race commentators fawned over the superiority, strength and breathtaking performance of it and look how that turned out. They're doing and saying the exact same with Vingegaard as if they have never learned anything from history.
Ping me when he's caught. Mutant tier performance, I don't believe in miracles in pro cycling.
Juiced out of his mind
Pogacar was not on top, as you also saw in stage 14 and 15 , and later in stage 16 and finally the blown in stage 17.
we seen it for many years 2021, 2022 and 2023, that Jonas is a lot better in thr third week.
we saw it in stage 14 and 15 where Jonas even outsprinted him. that not something that happens when POgacar is solid.
No doubt that Jonas vingegaard is the best GC rider on the planet and been it for a long time, and also why he is number1 on the worlds UCI stage ranking, with quite a margin..
Have Pogacar ever really dropp JOnas on a big mountain stage and not just outsprint him? .. like JOnas have done on him over and over with, like 6 or 7 times now .
Pogacar needs to do his homework and put 100% focus on the tour, like Jonas does' to beat him and not cracle in third week..
Drugs
Doping Doping Doping
doping
If pog did that to v people would call him a hero, because v is more reserved they say he’s doping 🙄 imagines punching your c**t out in training and preparation just to hear oh he’s doping 🙄
Genuinely hate myself for saying this, but some performances are simply too good to believe. Wednesday gave me similar feels to stage 17 in 2006. I wish I could believe but I just don't. 💉 💉 💉
one word…. doped.
first of it was 2 minutes between the last guys.
Drugs anyone?
What kind of gun powder is he using?
This TT was dope!
Let's hope both are clean, especially Vingegaard, this was insane Time Trial due to fact that also Pogacar has awesome pace. Great fight from both of them in this tour
Jonas rode this to literal perfection. He also maintained an extremely good aero position pretty much all the way.
TJV and Jonas clearly did their homework here. It looked like he'd done the route 100 times before.
One of the absolute best TT's ever.
The last time we saw a performance like this it was the rat.
He was 9% better than place nr. 3 and 4 % better than Podgy. That means Podgy was 5% better then nr. 3. Usain Bolt was never more than 4% better than his competitors during his winning and dominating years and there was widespread talk about doping.
Makes Lance Armstrong look slow
You mount your bike from the left side, and we are all routing for Pogacar to be 100% for the 2024 tour so we can get a nailbiter all the way to Nice (yes I wanted to say Paris, but TDF has to yield for the olympics). As a dane I am routing for Vingegaard, but Pogacar is such a nice guy.
Doping is alive and well at the Tour De France! You still believe the performances are real and not juiced. They are always one step ahead of the testers. One or two tours have been legit. The year after the Lance Armstrong era. Cadel Evans won and there were no attackers that got away on mountain stages. Now where back to guys standing up and riding away with no effort.
I feel like the bike change for Tadej was a sort of panic move. Since Yates didn’t change bikes
Incredible performance
Scary for his own health after drinking the whole pharmacy.,
The greatest ITT in the history of a sport that's past is littered with doping problems 🚩
📝Phenomenal‼️ Hope there's no significant "juice" discovered at later stage… To take that much time from POG, time will tell just how great this was, hopefully🎖.
Reminds me of lance armstrong
He's certainly got the best Dr/chemist.
Must be so frustrating to practice every single important corner over and over, just to be told you're cheating afterwards. Amazing Jonas.
motordoping
Can you do a side by side comparison of Jonas' vs Pog's TT using ASO footage? it'd be cool to see exactly where Jonas gained on Pog.
Just watched highlights from TDF 2021 TT stage 5.
Noticed that back then, Jonas finished 3rd, faster than both Roglic and Van Aert, and almost same time as Stefan Küng who was a TT monster back then. Only beaten for real by Pogacar who won the stage. And not a mountain TT as in 2023 but an almost flat route of 27 km!
So all the comments about Jonas "suddenly" performing at TT compared to earlier are not in line with reality. He´s always been a very strong TT rider but has obviously improved even further during 2022 and 2023.
very fishy performance.
