The Tour de France, an endless challenge won by Vingaard on Pogacar

Listen to the audio version of the article

And now? How would we do without Tour de France? How would we do without this endless challenge between Vingegaard and Pogacar, between the endless countryside and the heady mountains, in the end the Dane sensationally won more than 7 minutes of the advantage? With this Tour already tied to the 2024 Paris Olympics and next year missing, if only for once, the arrival of the Grand Boucle?

Fight Buckle the Great

It wouldn’t be easy to take it off, because it was an amazing tour, hard fought, full of surprises and surprising discoveries. Even the last podium, won by Meeus in the sprint, seems unprecedented even if Paris is always the same, with the Arc de Triomphe in the background, with the elegant Parisian roads that, for once, do not serve as a backdrop for some demonstrations by the yellow vests or angry youth against Macron, who also finds time to send a congratulatory tweet to Thibaut. Year, goodbye to the racing world.

The second time Vingegaard

No, before the Tour all France takes a break and asks for an armistice. The only yellow jersey that matters right now is Jonas fingerguarda 26-year-old Dane who triumphed for the second time in a row in the Tour de France after bumping into another phenom, that sometimes seemingly unbeatable Tadezh Pogacar, the Martian who got down to earth to prove that even in modern cycling you can win anywhere and at any time of the year.

But even Mars, who is still in the Tour, has found someone stronger than him: this Jonas Vingaard, who is flawless uphill, and also very strong in the time trial. And blond, washed, with narrow shoulders. Weighs only 60 kilograms, almost all bones and tendons. However, on the vertical part of the Col de la Loze, where there is asphalt Pogacar, was capable of releasing a power of 7.6 watts/kilo, an insane value that left biologists and medical magicians dumbfounded. Not to mention the Combloux time trial, where the Dane in 22 kilometers sprinted 1 minute 48 inches for his rival Tadeg, someone who was an arrow in the time trial.

Dane’s exploits

What’s even more exciting is the nearly 3-minute gap she suffered Van Aert, another time trial specialist. And so the great dilemma of this tour was: how did Vingegaard achieve these feats? Is he also from Mars? Or from Saturn? Is he also a giant of unknown strength who makes it easy for him what is impossible for others?
