As a point of reference, Pantani's Alp d'Huez record had a VAM of 1829. Pogacar's ride yesterday was 1854. When he (and others) blitzed Pantani's record on Plateau de Beille last year, I think he had a VAM of 1875. Since Covid, it's noticeable...

I suppose just try and do a good TT today and see the lay of the land after that. If they're another 90 seconds behind then there's not really much hope.

My time for Hautacam - 1 hour Pogacar's time for Hautacam - 33.27 https://www.strava.com/segments/7731042 :lol: The saddest thing is, that was probably my fittest ever year, and I was thinking a VAM of over 1,000 for an hour is good going...

That's the cool thing about the sport, isn't it? I went to a Giro stage start in Gardena last year and it's all so accessible. Plus, of course, you can ride all of these amazing climbs and literally follow in the pedal strokes of the greatest...

The GC as a competition is virtually dead now.... But this race is something special. I was at the start in Auch this morning, and it was such a wonderful, joyous spectacle. Town centre jam packed at 9am, 4 hours before the start, a wonderful...

Also interesting to note that they were 6kmh quicker for the stage today than when Vingegaard won in 2022.

Sure he'll go for 5 in a row at Lombardia as well.

Vingegaard at least looks like this is a hard mountain to ride up.

34 minutes is Riis' time. That's going to be destroyed I think.

2 minute gap. Blimey.

Your boy's taking a pasting here Dave. I'm not sure the mountain will recover from this!

Erm :hayee:

Sorry, did you watch a different Dauphine? When did he reel him in? Pogacar destroyed him on the big stages. If you mean the stage when Pog eased off and sandbagged over the line... well... There hasn't been any mountain attacks at this tour yet?

In the Dauphine you can see what Vingegaar was doing: experimenting. He allowed the gap to appear and then kept Pogacar at that distance and even reeled him in a bit. This years TdF mountains the attacks from Pogacar have been shut down straight...
