How Tadej Pogačar WON the 2020 Tour de France | EXPLAINED 

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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 🇪🇷!!

Happy Birthday Tadej Podacar What a birthday gift you got yesterday! Well, done young man, looking forward to following your race journey in the future. You are a star of today and the future! Congratulation and thank you for a great TDF!

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

This is the great tour for this year and made the legend history. Congratulations tadej 👏👏🇸🇮🏅

Thanks for making such videos. greetings

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

Such a great young talent!

Glimpse of andy Schleck.. Andy was the reason I started following this one of the toughest sport.. Pogacar is an amazing young talent..

He just glued himself to the stronger team and did not let them shake him.

Thecyclingdane; Thank you. Tadej Pogačar: TdF now x 2 + 2 Monuments. I give him my full support as a fan and offer him best hopes to the good.

Proud Slovenian!

Thank you so much for all the hard work Thecyclingdane & CO has put in to keep us all TDF lovers entertained. Keep up the great work I am looking forward to the next tournament and new videos! Luv the channel!!!!!!

It's best to have lost to a better rider on the day than lose to a crash or mechanical --- WVA

great, wonderful video, thank you. and thanks for reminding us too about the UAE teammates that Pogacar lost in the first week.

What a journey!! Nice video and great, historical race 🙏

Sir Happy birthday to you... it was a great feet to get you where you are and appreciate to those who support you... enjoy your day

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...

Nice video! Really enjoyed it

I am looking forward to route of next yr TDF. Also the 1st GT with Bernal Pogačar Mas and Remco.

Wielki Szacun Tadeju I jes eś bez dwóch zdań. kro lem🤝✌👏👏👏👏👏 Gratuluję Ci . BO po cichu dopingowalem Slowencą i tobie

Congratulations Epic Race

POGAČAR - ROGLIČ SLOVENIA

Amazing,

Lipizzaner horse and Tadej Pogacar haute studs from Slovenia

He won because he’s a master rapper on the high climbs for short times

This was an amazing win, doubt we will see better than this

POG POG!

Woe!! Slow down...lol...I had to watch this 10 times to keep up with the details...

Great narrative. Also, what's the name of the musical instrument artist playing in the background plz??

UAE and its predecessor teams have a record of doping scandals. Do you think that there is any suspicion to be had regarding their performance at this year’s Tour de France?

Jumbo should have never allowed Tadej to take back all that time in that Pyrenees stage

Waiting for chatting .. last day .. with CYCLEDANE

Cycling is definitely a team sport

Alpe HDuez was not on this years Tour Neither was the Galibier or Mont Ventoux SO THEY BETTER BE ON NEXT YEARS TOUR

Can’t believe you guys dropped the ball on the sign off... no “see ya in the douches” 🤷‍♂️😂

Best TDF in decades!!

Missed the part were yous let someone win the stage... no offense winning and strategies to win to separate veiws... not to rain on parade... but having a team break wind, work together draft like Nascar, is way different then being an individual. So hats off to all those champions as well...

What happened to Roglic on the last time trial? sick or eat wrong?

He was pushing more than 7 w/kg in the last climb... Thats all!

BUT...was he lit...? Along with Roglic...🤔

Victoria for David vs Goliath in the Tour de France 🇫🇷

what song? please )

This performance seems to good to be true 😅

Does wearing a face coordinated mask help you ride smarter, more stealthly and more intelligently and less accidentatilly and help you ride winning TDF strategies and win your first maiden professional tour . See 10:41 for the suggestion. Lesson applied not knowing your competitors attributes allows for a more level playing field where team strategies count less than individual prowess on the bikes.

The better rider beat the better team. Doesn't usually work that way, but it did in 2020. Also hats off to Slovenia, clearly the new superstars in subverting drug tests.

Mmm🤔... completing the race course with the least amount of time?

WON o really no way

He had an unfair advantage using rim brakes. The other riders were forced to use extra heavy disc brake bikes, causing more air drag and chirping noise from warped rotors making them go nuts. Just unfair!

Can't anyone else see the obvious? Both Slovakian's were obviously lit.

It's possible to win the Tour de France in the first day. Just win so far in front of everyone else they don't make the time cut. You are guaranteed to win every stage and all the jerseys.

Watching it back you cant win the tdf in the firdt week pogacar hold my beer

7:56 isn't that Alpe d'Huez

Visiblement, les frenchies sont partout sur la planète vélo, même chez les anglais 💪

JUICE

Wanna buy colnago, but have no money, I'm poor man...😭😭

u cant win the tour defrance in the first week pogaccar'2021 puts 4 minuites into everyone on stage 8'

u need to be strong climber to win TDF

I think he won because he had a coffee enema after each stage

Drugs drugs drugs that is how he did it.

Quanta roba ha preso sto pogiocar tra poco faceva record ora in salita...ha ha ha

Its funny how people all agree that these guys are all doped up.

Lorte video
