Tour de France 2026 ***Spoilers***

[Blazing Saddles]

Isn't he ruining that as well?

Seeing he has won it yet….
Pog is even stealing Kirby’s job.

 

[Flick of the Elbow]

As I feared, just another Pog-UAE snoozefest

 

[Dogtrousers]

That's why they've saved the flat stages for Friday and Saturday. Who knows what is going to happen? Maybe we'll get an utterly doomed breakaway. Perhaps even some fields of sunflowers. I can't wait.

None of this boring predictable uphill rubbish.

 

[N0bodyOfTheGoat]

Can't we have a puncheur stage at the weekend to watch MVDP, MadsP etc. try and light the stage up?

 

[Brusgaard]

Traen out with multiple broken ribs and concussion…

 

[mididoctors]

It always was though to be fair. Just like the last 4 years. Hopefully something will change soon because my interest has all but gone in watching pro cycling this last couple of seasons.

You've been saying that for 15 years .....we all love you for it though

Snufkin! Packed

I was quite happy watching the brits crush the puney Europeans. At least there was always the chance froome would get sick or fall off for no reason.

Stage 7 Hagetmau>Bordea 175.1 km​

​

Classic sprint stage . Breakaway needs to get creative. Rollout 13:15 CEST

 

[Pross]

I sometimes wonder what people want from Pog, should he just sit back and take it easy until Stage 20 rather than racing to win?

 

[Milzy]

He should sit back yes. Max Kanter must be in for a win soon.

 

[mididoctors]

He should sit back yes. Max Kanter must be in for a win soon.

He has less pressure than the other sprinters and Astana seem to have institutional muscle memory for lead outs . The others are faster but not chill ATM . Kooji may be in the zone .

 

[Legs]

Max Kanter is verily a most excellent name for a sprinter.

 

[mrushton]

If Pog was your Cardiologist or Oncologist you would be thankful he is seemingly the best. If he didn't exist Jonas would be winning his 6th TdF. Jonas won 5 stages in the Giro seemingly without breaking sweat. Would I prefer a closer fought race a la Giro 2025 yes but Pog is here for now. Only in cycling is success a thing to be criticised. England football or cricket team people would be celebrating on the streets.

 

[Dorset Boy]

People should enjoy the moment, watching one of the two best cyclists ever to have lived ply his craft.
He lights up races from distance to win - surely that's better than the Roglic 150 m sprint to win by getting more bonus seconds than his rivals.
Surely even Frenchie loves his panache (or do you have to do suicidal attacks and lose to ride with panache?)

Without Pogi, as said aboveJonas would now be riding for his 6th Tour, and they would have been pretty dull races given the JV style
