The fact that he beat the Schleck Bros. and Contador's time on a wet raining day is unbelievable. I believe if Roglic hadn't crashed so hard or if the whole Pelotón hadn't turfed it half a dozen times, I feel this would be a much closer GC. What seems to be a certainty is Pogacar is strong.

Jusy watching pog attacking made me breath heavily.amazing hows he doing

Would have loved to see how today would have gone if there hadn't been crashes in the early stages, and if the likes of Bernal and Landa (maybe even Remco) were here in form. Yes, Pogacar is dropping the field, but who is he actually dropping that's surprising? Given the race circumstances and all that's happened up to now, who do we expect to be able to compete with him? Before the tour, I (and every bookie) expected Roglic and Pogacar to be a level above the rest just like last year, with their closest rival being Thomas. Thomas looked out of sorts from stage 1, and crashed, and Carapaz was never really expected to be on the Pogacar/Roglic level IMHO, and he's had to work harder than Pogacar over the last few days, especially yesterday. Also have to factor in that Pogacar hasn't crashed (as far as I know). Looking at all of that, his performance isn't that unexpected, even though it is amazing. It's also only stage 8.... I'm having flash backs of the 2018 Giro where Yates dominated everyone for 18 days, and then mega-cracked and lost it all.

one in a century talent

Pogacar said in Slovenian Interview, "Carapaz attacked yesterday at the end, when UAE team worked all day, so “pase taksen odgovor danes” roughly translated… feels nice, such is the answer today...

Pogacar reminds me of a young Bernard Hinault, back in the early days of Hinault's career when he was precociously talented across every discipline required to be a legendary professional road cyclist. After winning two TDF's in 78 and 79, A knee injury hampered Hinault's 1980 TDF campaign but it's OK.... he won Liège-Bastogne-Liège, the Giro and the World Championship instead. If Pogacar has a sense of history he'll try and replicate that, LOL. He certainly has the talent to do it.

Agree with all the comments on here and IG, this is sus.

Attacking in the rain on the first mountain stage -- remind anyone of Lance on the Hautacam?

If roglic didn't craxh pogacar will not even think of attacking on this stage.

After this performance, Pog should try for the Giro, Tour, Vuelta triple next year

Good for him, but for me this is going to be worse than 2014. He won the TdF on stage 5. Are these already stupidly long odds on Uran, Lutsenko, Keldeman etc just the bookies covering the chances of UAE being sent home under COVID protocols?

2014 was a very good Tour. It depends on what you wanna see: masterclass performances like Pogacar at stage 8 this year or Nibali and Astana at stage 5 in 2014, or do you wanna see stages like in recent years where the terrain aren't used the whole stage and we only see attacks within the last 3km?

I just want bernal back to 2019 form and see that showdown

@schwicht d who tf said he was doping?

Great ride from Pogacar. He actually took the KOM on the col de romme/columbiere by over 1min. This is basically 1 climb - the back way up the columbiere

Old school riding by Tadej!

I do find it hard to believe that a performance like that is actually possible, especially as the rest of the UAE team seemed to fall apart pretty quickly, leaving him with only one teammate. But I think it's worth seeing if Pogacar does crack at all in the later stages. If he continues to destroy everyone in every stage, then I will definitely be suspicious.

He is just really good, but it certainly helps when many other favourites fall etc. He got quite lucky the first day, and is in amazing form

@@jellevanderree8990 Yeah, I agree that it's possible that he's just in top form, alongside a few things going his way. Time will tell us a bit more, I guess. Regardless, hopefully that result doesn't signal an early end to the GC competition...

I hope that had far more to do with the entertaining madness the previous day. TP stayed sheltered the entire stage which was the longest in 20 years in the tour & finished 20 minutes ahead of the fastest possible estimate by the organizers.

Now tadej pogacar's closest rival is the world anti doping agency😂

It is what it is. It’s never great for a race to be over before it begins. But that’s why we’ve got. The teams will have to make the calculation. It's going to be an interesting one. And yet ...

Would love for you to address the question of Tadej using performance enhancement

Tadej was tested twice before the stage and once right after it. These test today are far better than what they used to have 15-20 years back, and there has never been any indication of Tadej using drugs. I don't think that's a question at all. Pure speculation.
