his two tour de france wins so far are very interesting in how much they're different: in 2020 he won out of sheer cunningness, and in 2021 he just flat out crushed every single 'rival' of his. a fantastic all rounder both in skills and strategy! can't wait to see what the future has in store for him

[ruicalado]

First of all, he is a very inteligent and mature rider for is age, he knows how to take benefis from the other teams, won stages, had the best condition and rode like old school riders, with his heart.Congrats to the Future of grand tour winner.

[sbiruli]

He won because he was better than Roglic in the mountain, and arrive to the last chrono in better conditions...i believe that Pogacar is a phenomenal child

[guaynaa]

One of the greatest Tour de France victories of all time.

He is a legend to Slovenia in particular & to be honest this could be his best-ever Three Jerseys win for Years to come ...How proud mam & dad could be !! Me forwarding my congratulations, ,yours from 🇪🇷!!

[redmeatndamendment]

A time trial for the ages. Absolutely stunning. He’ll be around for a decade.

When he won three stages in vuelta with long range attack and secure podium spot in his debut, this kind of results can only be achieved with extreme talent, therefore I was sure that he may win TDF before it started but after that mechanical mishap where Pogacar lost 1.21 second then the whole game was in favour of Jumbo Visma's team but the performance in ITT was extraordinary and unachievable and the main fact is that Pogacar was full confident that he will take yellow jersey on 20th stage.

Tadej Pogačars coach said that the night before the TT they had a talk and decided that since Pogačar had 2nd place cemented he had nothing to lose so they decided to ride without power and heartrate data and just go for it, hey if he blew up he would still finish 2nd. The times he was doing would have been fed through to Primoz and because Pogačar was gaining so much time early on it got inside Primozs head (who would be riding by the numbers as they mostly do on a TT). If you stick to the numbers rather than on RPE sometimes it goes against you.

Matched Dumoulin's stage-best time on the ITT right up to the last climb. Then still had enough left in the tank to break the alltime record up the Planches de Belles Filles.

He must be the next coming of Eddy Merckx, because the alternate explanation is...
