The former American runner, Lance Armstrong, held very strong words at the place of the Slovenian Tadej Pogacar.
It’s D -Day! The Tour de France 2025 is starting this Saturday, July 5 from Lille for three weeks of racing. Holding the title,
Tadej Pogacar advances as the great favorite for his own succession. But the triple winner of the big loop will have to be wary of his great rival, Jonas Vingegaard, who feels ” stronger than ever. “”
Still impressive this season, Tadej Pogacar confirmed its sparkling form on the Criterium of Dauphiné last June. In this July month, the Slovenian will try to win a fourth Tour de France, and thus equaled Christopher Froome, at only 26 years old. He would also return to a length from the record held by Jacques Anquetil, Eddy Merckx, Bernard Hinault and Miguel Indurain. What to make “Pogi” the best cyclist in history?
For Lance Armstrong, deposed from his seven victories on the Grande Boucle (1999-2005) for doping, Tadej Pogacar is already the ” biggest ». The 53 -year -old American once again proclaimed him during an event organized in New York.
Armstrong on Pogacar: “It’s already the biggest”
“” A guy like Pogacar, and I have already said it publicly, but I repeat, it is the greatest of all time. There is no doubt about it “Said Lance Armstrong.
And to add: ” What he is able to do on a bicycle, not only in the Tour, but in all the other races … He may not have won as many towers yet as some. It doesn’t matter. At equal weight, at his age, it is already the largest. And it’s really impressive to see. The main interested party will appreciate.
