Yeah that was daft. We have an all-time great here. The level of those front two is super human. Fingers crossed we have both fit leading into next summer. 

What’s the consensus on the stuff that can’t be talked about? These two are genuinely freaks and I’m afraid something will come out soon.

Lots of accusations. Probably more towards Vingegaard and his team. Worry for Pogacar is that he's now beginning to beat doped records. I really hope not with the latter cos it appears he's a superb bloke.

Probably be the end of cycling as a respected sport if they are doping .

 

Only thing that will stop Pogacar is a crash or COVID.

 

In a bike race of his own .

Pogacar seems untouchable this year.

Mind you, people said the same of Jonas last year.

Great ding dong battles between these two.

Incredible that a supreme rider like Remco will likely only end up being second fiddle behind these two.

 

Gotta love Pogi though - he's such a spectacular rider and a bubbly character.

Nobody is anywhere near him. 

 

It's becoming boring again after years of decent battles 

 

Just hope Jonas comes back next year in better nick after a full prep

Pogacer is so far ahead of his rivals in both time and the rider he is.

Cavendish just has to suffer through today to get inside the time limit and then relax for tomorrow's time trial to complete what has been a fantastic Tour De France and cycling career. Overall it hasn't been an overly exiting or competitive tour with Vingegaard not able to compete at the same level as Pogacer.  Its always better to have two or more ride being able to compete against each other than having one rider dominate which Pogacer looks like he could do for years.

Less sprint stages potentially?

 

Looks like Cavendish just made his mark at the right time then!

 

Be a a shame as they give people a change to have their day in the sun and sprinters just won't bothering entering maybe.

Pogacar became world champ on Sunday. Highly impressive victory

Great to see Mark Cavendish win his final ever race in the Tour de france criterium  in Singapore. Its been amazing to watch his career over the years and for him to get the record number of stage wins in the Tour de france. He had a number of tough years with illness and injuries but he's come through all that to be a British cycling legend.
