Irresistible since the start of the Tour de France, Tadej Pogacar should not let the opportunity pass by a little more to dig the gap on his pursuers, according to Cyrille Guimard.
It is only Jonas Vingegaard to believe to be able to overthrow Tadej Pogacar during the crossing of the Alps. For all observers, there is no doubt that less than one fall, the Slovenian is only six days before a fourth coronation on the Tour de France.
After two weeks of racing, the leader of the UAE-Emirates team already has four stage victories and displays no less than four minutes in advance on his closest prosecutor. Above all, it releases an impression of omnipotence. And for Cyrille Guimard, there is no doubt that the reigning world champion will take advantage of it to consolidate his control around the Tour.
“Pogacar is at its top. He lives his physical peak, everything goes well, he has a solid team, which does not make mistakes. And he runs in defense. He protects his teammates, requires them little effort. The tempo they impose is already too fast for many. If Pogacar continues like that, he is untouchable. The differences will even swell, logically “he said to Cyclism’Actu.
Tadej Pogacar caught by the wear of power?
Conversely, Jonas Vingegaard does not seem in the best dispositions. “Vingegaard is not at the levelcontinued the former manager of Bernard Hinault or Laurent Fignon, adding: “The gaps are such as only a Pogacar accident, or a failure that has never been seen, could revive the suspense. If Pogacar has no accident, if he does not fall ill, yes, the general classification is folded. And everyone knows. »»
And at only 26 years old, Tadej Pogacar does not seem to stop. Unless it is caught up in a certain weariness. “Pogacar will have to keep the same motivation. Look at Hinault, after five laps won, he was deconcentrated, and the sixth was no longer possible. Power uses … “he launched, adding: “It would take new young people, like Del Toro, which I like. He is in the Pogacar team, but things evolve quickly in a team. »»
