Fifteen days before the Grand Departure of the Tour de France, Marc Madiot condemned the attitude of Tadej Pogacar during the Critérium du Dauphiné.
Tadej Pogacar once again crushed competition. Despite the presence of his great rivals Jonas Vingegaard and Remco Evenepoel, the triple winner of the Tour de France flew over the Critérium du Dauphiné last week, that he was sold for the first time, with three stage victories at the key. An outrageous domination that makes a lot of talk,
Like the Slovenian attitude during the race.
Solo winner of the 7e Step in Valmeinier 1800, “Pogi” had entrusted at the end of the race to get up in the last kilometer to start its recovery. Moved remarks that were certainly poorly welcomed by its competitors. “” That he does it, it is one thing but that he says it, it is more boring “Said Marc Madiot this Sunday on the RMC wave.
“That he manages his recovery at the end of the stage because he has the stage won and the general classification guaranteed, it does not shock me and this is not a problem. What bothers me is that he says it », Used the boss of Groupama-FDJ, who condemns this attitude of Pogacar, who has undoubtedly had to be cropped by his management.
Madiot: “The main enemy of Pogacar during the Tour, it will be himself”
“He did well to do it during the Dauphiné. He assumed his little passions but he will not do that during the Tour de France. His staff around him has certainly warned him of the attitude he should have “Launched Marc Madiot, for whom “The Tour de France coming is that of all the dangers for Pogacar. »»
And to add: ” The main enemy of Pogacar during the Tour, it will itself be, in its attitudes and in its race evolution. It can be overwhelmed by the course of the race. The first week of racing for Pogacar can be that of all dangers. As a reminder, the large 2025 loop will start on July 5 from Lille.
