Tour de France 2026

[BACH]

Anyone following? Starts in 2 weeks.

I definitely am.

Part 6 of Vingegaard vs. Pogascar and with two super talents emerging in Evenenpool and Seixas.

For those not following, this the equivalent to Federer vs. Nadal battling it out.

Flamboyant Pogi is one of the two best riders in history (Merxck). Soft spoken Vingegaard is a generational talent (probably at the same level or a bit better than Armstrong to put it in an American perspective - without the cheating).

Pogi leads 3-2, but Vingegaard looks better than ever and finally seems to over his horrific 2024 crash that almost killed him.

The two youngsters have funnily enough copied the personalities of the two top guys and taken it to the extreme. Evenenpool is arrogant and aggressive. Seixas is as humble as a munk.

I’m watching but the route is meh, nothing on northern France, nothing north of Paris even, 2 days arrival on Alpe D’Huez what is that is not that there aren’t other mountains in the area. They needed 2 long flat 50Km ITT to give Remco a slim chance.

I’m afraid will be over by stage 14, comes 8 days after the col du turmalet on stage 6. Last 8km of Tourmalet is 9.5% If UAE launched a full-gas assault on the Tourmalet—with McNulty, Yates, and Del Toro setting a blistering pace for the first 5 km Pogi will do the last part at 7.5 W/kg and no one can follow. He might not get a lot on stage 6 but enough to psychologically kill all the other GC riders.

He put up alien numbers at the tour de suisse. Pogacar has no weaknesses, Visma can line a team of 20…..will not matter.
