Tadej Pogacar’s performance does not only impress observers. It is the same with his storage, even the most illustrious.
Tadej Pogacar perfectly prepared the Tour de France during the Critérium du Dauphiné. If he had a small alert on the time trial, suffering from the comparison with Remco Evenepoel and Jonas Vingegaard, the Slovenian nevertheless flew over the race, especially in the mountains, where he crushed the competition. To the point of discouraging his Belgian rival.
As the Tour de France approaches, the leader of the UAE-Emirates team obviously appears to be the main favorite to his succession and his power data even leave the other runners, like Geraint Thomas, former winner of the Tour. In his podcast, the English runner explained that he had access to the statistics of Tadej Pogacar during one of his victorious climbs.
And the figures appeared to him simply unreal. “7.2 watts per kilo pendant 20 minutes”He blown, explaining that this is equivalent to a power of 490 watts for him, or perhaps a little more. “At this rate, I may be holding for 6 or 7 minutes, at my best level”he said.
“It’s just ridiculous”
“It’s just ridiculous”, He continued, saying that he was all the more shot that the triple winner of the Tour does not even seem forced. “He doesn’t seem to make too much effort, He thus noted, adding:
“When you look, he doesn’t seem to go so hard, you wonder why everyone gets let go. »»
The words are strong and these words of Geraint Thomas will undoubtedly confirm all those who do not hesitate to see in the domination of the native of Klamanec the shadow of doping and there is no doubt that the next round of France will be marked again by accusations, always without proof, if these are mutant figures, as likes to qualify Antoine Vayer, pourfener of doping.
