Heroes like them are hard to find. Experiencing extreme situations like the one you are experiencing is nearly impossible. mighty, immense, immense, Tadej Pogacar and after 24 hours see him appear like a destroying angel and give it back to the man who hurt it, Jonas Vingegaardsame beatsame slash, perfect blow to the chin, to the chin where you lowered hers.
What Pogacar did today at the top of Cauterets, a few meters from the finish line, when Emmanuel Macron’s car drove past, a completely forbidden maneuver despite being President! athlete, athlete, cyclist, ‘cannibal’, dictator like him. Only.
Pogacar studied the great Vingegaard, tormented, endured and eventually mistreated and turned away from him., in 28 seconds (at just two kilometers), to the man who left him breathless at Marie Blanque. Riding alone, strictly alone, as he did not have a team, Pogacar rose before the entire Jumbo Visma army; this team has the luxury of having Wout van Aert, perhaps the third best rider in that peloton. as an employee, a domestic of Vingegaard.
And ‘Carlitos’, sticky
Not only has Pogacar been reborn from the ashes of Marie Blanque’s ditches, but he has already shown that he is glorious if he survives this bad moment! can win TypeWell, as the days go by, that left wrist that he occasionally releases from his handlebar to do relaxation exercises during the quiet moments of the route will be his best ally to show that he’s still king. your team
At this sixth stage, everything about the Slovenian was in doubt. And that yesterday was a bad day, and Pogacar, I insist, alone, without the team, still the ruler of this multicolored team with the boy Carlitos Rodríguez He continues to do his job and excite his Spanish fan. Carlitos is already fifth overall.
But back to Pogacar, which resisted the impressive sight of the Jumbo on a day of rough hills. It was Pogacar against all the world, all Jumbo. Especially against cycling prodigy Wout van Aert, who would rather be one of the Tour favourites, rather cyclocross at Christmas and have fun with the classics in the spring.
start the show
Because it was Van Aert who broke the race and made his boss sit in the ‘queen’s little chair’ until he had five kilometers to climb the Cauterets. on that side He almost dies, he almost faints, he has to help the audience survivehowever, Van Aert had already done his duty wonderfully and brilliantly: putting his boss in a position to (almost) decide on the Tour.

But no, his boss, Vaingegaard, proved to be human just like Pogacar yesterday. And with 2,800 meters left, the Slovenian launched a deadly, powerful, startling, chilling attack, leaving Dane in Jumbo stiff, standing, weak, losing almost half a minute at the finish line and half a minute at 2,800 meters. ! Pogacar is alive!
And there were (and many others) who thought that Pogacar would get through today’s difficult phase by picking up his feelings, showing that he wasn’t dead, keeping his spirits up, and preparing his revenge, his revenge. Puy de Dôme on Sundaybut “cannibals” (and cyclists, ancient and modern, know a lot about it) can never have enough and, above all, are always surprised.
Pogacar didn’t want to waste his time, opportunity, or good feelings. He knows better than anyone that he’ll either do it his way, do it crazy, or do it alone, or that there’s no one, no one, not even his team, who left him completely alone in just six stages of the Tour. 2023 will help him become the best in the world once again. ‘yellow master’.
