#TDF2023 🧵 on Pogacar vs Vingegaard. To start off with, we look at last year's Tour. There seems to have occured a narrative, where Vingegaard solely won the Tour due to Jumbo being stronger than UAE.

However, I think this narrative is too simplistic.

@peterbruchmann Jeg synes, de er rigtig gode. Jeg har særligt været glad for de elementer, som ikke nødvendigvis har handlet om startopstillinger og de enkelte trupper, men mere om det "omkringliggende." Eksempelvis Brasiliens skiften mellem joga bonito og pragmatik

@Marshall89HD Agree, very promising.

@PCyclingManager Vingegaard 👀

@Na1chaca Maybe stupid question, but why is the aSLP 7 below Pantani's performance on Piancavallo in 1998, when Jonas was faster today and attacked with 10 to go?

[Critical Cycling @CyclingCritical]

@simkjr Helt enig. Der er ingen tvivl om, at havde han haft behov for det, havde han også kørt noget stærkere på den del af stigningen rekorden er målt på. Særligt når Pantani på samme stigning kørte sig helt ud for at holde Tonkov bag sig.

@faustocoppi60 They could also just finish in the city without having to do laps...

Reminder that Sabastian Sawe's sponsor adidas spent $50,000 for him to be drug-tested out of competition as much as possible in 2025 and are doing the same thing in 2026.

Today in London, he became the first man to break 2:00 in an official marathon.

The first monument of the year not transmitted from the start and here we are with Pogacar +2 min behind Evenepoel right from the gun... #LBL #LBL26

@StatsOnCycling Thevenet rode the race in 1976 😉

@sean24252 @Zeldam_ @Na1chaca He didn't.

#RVV26 crazy how much the motos help Van der Poel and Pogacar

[Critical Cycling @CyclingCritical]

@BenjiNaesen Not surprising. Pedersen was one of the main protagonists of the previous group where Wout sat in the peloton.

@mikaelmilhoj Det er, som jeg ser det, et grundlæggende problem på holdet, at anføreren ikke er blandt de to bedste midtbanespillere, men at man alligevel beholder ham inde hver gang, fordi han er anfører. Det bliver så heller ikke bedre af, at han ikke er den store leder...
