Tour de France 2026 ***Spoilers***

[Big John]

Are they closely enough matched that if Pog performs slightly below his best then his close rival may be victorious? Or is Pog so good that even a slightly below par performance still won't give the opposition a chance to win?

Pog will win I'm sure.

It used to be claimed that Pog didn't like the heat or high altitude, and that he toiled in the 3rd week.
Not saying that is going to be the case this year but gives a glimmer of hope.

I'd love it to be a close fight, but Vin hasn't been Pog's equal since his big crash. Vin is getting closer though.

 

[NorthernSky]

yeah would be nice to see this go close or something other than the foregone conclusion we all assume

I'd love it to be a close fight, but Vin hasn't been Pog's equal since his big crash. Vin is getting closer though.

This is the other aspect: I'm currently keen to buy the positive spin that he is still recovering from the crash, so should be better than 12 months ago.

The Danish anchovy held back in the Giro. The UAE team is starting to shed good team mates. It will be closer than you think & in 2027 it will be Paul Sexy beating them both.
Good day.
