Jumbo-Visma All Out Assault on Pogačar | Tour de France Stage 11 2022 | Lanterne Rouge x Zwift 

The sequence of Roglic and Jonas continuously attacking Pog was amazing. The whole Jumbo team was all in for Jonas today. Roglic went all out for him hurt. And Jonas finished it off, and he was amazing!!! Most exciting Tour de France stage in a couple years…

Roglic’s preparation for La Vuelta going according to plan!

I've been watching the Tour since the 80's and I believe this stage was one of the best I have ever seen. I am not sure if I have ever seen a stage in which the action between the top contenders went on for so long. I have enormous respect for Roglic today. What a great team mate he has proven to be. This was an epic stage, one for the ages. Go Jonas all the way!!! Also, it did my heart good to see Bardet back.

Does my heart well to see that Pogi is actually human, so proud of Jonas and the TJV boys

Was anyone else watching this stage getting excited about how excited the Lanterne was going to be?

Roglic's smile when crossing the finish said it all, mission accomplished. What an absolute fantastic stage, starting with Wout and Mathieu going all in at the start till the climactic final climb. Finger-licking goodness the entire day.

I doubted LR when he said Vingegard would put 1 minute into Pogacar on this stage. Damn did TJV and Vingegard get it right today. One of the best stages I have watched in the Tour

Imagine someone told you yesterday that on the last climb Quintana would put 2 minutes into Pogacar.

best tour stage in a decade.... just pure cycling from km 60... We often sit and dream of riders just gooing full out battle with everthing to loose in order to win, today they did..well done

Well done Benji! Losing 17kgs aint easy, keep at it!

Nice ride by Jonas but even more impressed by Benji losing 17 kg what a tank

Lanterne Rouge you are a true legend among men. Thank you for believing Pogačar will crack, made my day.

People use to joke about DSM.. but what they've been doing with Bardet for the last couple years has been nothing short of amazing. He seems better than ever before, and the picture of him after the huge effort today, sitting on the mountaintop in the grass, looking down in the valley, was amazing. Would love to see him podium.

im not sure what im happier about, today's stage or Benji's weight loss and new-found self-confidance!

Van Aert really is something else. This stage, the one on the cobbles saving Jonas plus 2 wins. Until now the true MVP of this tour.

I have literally never moved faster than I did to open this video when it dropped 🚨 on 🔥

What a team effort, WVA on the breakaway, Benoot dropping almost the entire UAE team, Roglic finally being a team mate, WVA waiting for Roglic, brings him back and rides an insane 15K. No time for Pagacar to eat with such an insane team

LR on the fast track to becoming an honorary Danish citizen 🇩🇰

One thing about Pogacar. I don't think he ever thought he was invincible, I think that is why he's been so aggressive and asserting his dominance in the earlier, easier stages. It's not hubris, it's the opposite of that, I think it was posing to look a little bit bigger than he actually was against an opponent who he suspected was more powerful than him from day one, and hoping to build as much of a buffer as possible before the really tough mountain stages. I totally fell for it btw, and I think a lot of the peloton fell for it as well. But in hindsight, it is weird that he goes for a sprint trying to gain 1 second on Vingegaard, if he fully trusts he can take minutes on him on the next proper climb. Clearly, he didn't trust in that. Which is not to say he's finished now, not by a long shot. But I think he knew before the tour began that this tour wasn't going to be as easy for him as last year's.

G and Niaroman looked to be most calm and collected out of the top riders today. It wouldn’t surprise me to see them both move up on GC tomorrow. Also, VENGA BENJI!!

got a kick out of LR hyping up Vingegod and then grabbing a TJV bidon for his mid-pod hydration

Everyone worked for Rogla. Now Rogla worked for Jonas and his Team. A real team player. Big respect to Jonas Wout Rogla and their Chu Chu Trains

Last few days in the car i was saying that Patrick was wrong about Jonas Now i am a flat earther. Full respect to you sir

Quintana and Thomas really stepped up today

I can easily criticize Pogi for responding to everything but when you look at what Team JV had done with putting WVA way up the road, LaPorte was positioned to be a bridge up ahead too, and then the Jonas/Primoz 1-2 action? They had all the cards. Not to even mention Kruiswijk and Kuss. Chapeau to the Jumbo team and Jonas.

Can we just talk about how much cycling has changed with the green jersey in a break over the mountains….

Best stage I have seen since watching Cadel chase after Andy Schleck up the Galibier in 2011.

lanterne I think I might love you, saying in a monotone emotionless voice "this is the greatest day of cycling I've ever seen, when I've been listening to Ned Boulting all day going completely apeshit, you are my hero

I waited for days to see Pogi crack and have a more competitive tour. Now I am kind of sad, it was devastating to see him lose 3 minutes. However, great performance of TJV, what a team effort! Can’t wait for the next days and Pogis revenge now!

Speaks volumes about Pog and the raison d’etre of Jumbo when it takes an entire team to effectively challenge an individual. Well done G and Yates, must not forget the fantastic effort there

Pog's fear of Roglic was what decided the race. If Pog had called Rog's bluff on the telegraphe, this might have been different. Pog should ideally counter this situation in the Pyrenees after resting majka until then. The rest of his team other than Soler can just do bottle duty

Why does it make me so happy that Benji watches cycling with his dad?

Jumbo double teaming Pog was the first time in my life my entire family were glued to the screen and screaming and yelling about cycling. It was an absolute spectacle. The greatest riders, in the biggest race going absolutely crazy with still 2 hours left of racing. Unhinged. Also Pog probably was pacing Galibier hard to stop Jonas attacking him and getting the benefit of WVA up ahead. Jonas said afterwards Pog was really strong when he was pacing. And when you're at that altitude and at the limit, if Pog is pulling that hard it really discourages you physiologically from attacking him because you can't know what he has left and Jonas logically could be worried about attacking as a waste of energy.

Anyone else watch the full coverage on TV? I've missed like 4 stages in a row and just happened to remember today's, what a blessing

LR, you shushed me very well today. Chapeau my man.

The best stage i have ever seen. Simply lovely

i was genuinely scared watching this stage. the fact that everyone teamed up on him made me feel helpless

Listening to you two chat about the stages is one of my favorite parts of the Tour. Thanks for the consistent uploads 👏

Felt bad for Pog, he deserves a better team. Still, props to the entire Jumbo team for their intelligence and strength, specially to Wout and Jonas, and also to Roglic who sacrified the last energies he had to weaken Pogacar and let Jonas do his thing

17?! That’s amazing Benji! Congratulations - a lot of effort has gone into that! Not easy….

@27:40 as a long time LR and BN fan- this is such a great section of the pod. After LR’s hyperbolic outbursts about flat earthers and thinking about going to be a tobacco farmer in Andorra hahaha, BN makes a very astute observation about data. This is a critical point to make for anyone who uses data driven decision making. Thank you both for such a great pod which was equal to the high drama on perhaps the greatest TDF stage I’ve ever seen live.

Looks like you both are really having fun with Pogačar losing. Very professional. He's fighting alone against the strongest team in the peloton and making this Tour very interesting for us. And also Jonas is flying like a madman on a bike. These guys are making history.

Craziest mountain stage I’ve seen since Landis’ solo ride. Froome’s giro raid in contention too.

Pog had an haircut after the rest day. The tuft is gone, just like his power. Coincidence? I don't think so.

Insane tactics from TJV. From KM 0 - Wout attacking to make the front group ready to pull if one of them drops at the end of Galibier.

What a stage, and what a performance by Jumbo Visma and Jonas Vingegaard. As a dane, this Tour de France has been amazing. Cort yesterday and now Vingegaard. 🇩🇰👏👏🇩🇰

THE WORLD IS FLAT!!!!

What a stage! TJV played a strategy masterclass. They most likely knew Roglic didn't have it, so when he could still pretend to be strong he did an early bait attack, and Pogacar took the bait. Vingegaard was the strongest rider, but I think Pogi was the second strongest by some margin. It was evident on the Galibier. He just got played by Jumbo. I expect him to rebound to second place in GC, but Jonas will be hard to catch. I think the two will put minutes into Thomas, Yates, Quintana, Bardet and Gaudu on a stage that is raced in a more traditional way, perhaps tomorrow. Today also proved that you guys are the best cycling analysts around. I have stopped consuming most other cycling medias, as their knowledge and predictions are completely amateurish compared to you two. Like Patrick, I too wondered on the Galibier whether I had been listening to a flat-earther. But I hadn't. I had been listening to the smartest cycling pundit around. The others are just flat-earthers. F for Wawa.

Definitely the best stage in a Grand Tour I've seen in years, and possibly even the best I ever watched (I've been actively following since 2009, so not insanely long). I may have seen stages that had me screaming at my television more in excitement, but this was something else. I think I watched the whole thing pretty much in silence, except for a few curses at "spectators" making a spectacle of themselves and getting in the way of riders. I was just gripped by the constantly shifting balance of power in the stage. When they started the rolling attacks on Telegraphe/Galibier, I thought Jumbo had it, then when Roglic got dropped it went to Pogacar. Then the Roglic group makes it back, balance of power shifts again, the climb starts, all of Jumbo's domestiques and Roglic all get dropped and Maika of all people (like ... what?! How the hell did he get back up here ?!) is back for Pogacar, another shift of power. And then Jonas just went, and left everybody behind him in the dust. Whatever happened to Pogacar on that last climb, whether it was just a bad day, or he ate something wrong, or not enough, or he got cooked on Galibier, I don't think it's over for him at all. Like you say, he'll attack and start taking time back, and 2,22 isn't even that much. With the 2 Ineos riders still within reasonable distance of the yellow as well, they could just hang back, hanging on to the coattails of UAE and Jumbo fighting each other into total exhaustion, then do the same thing Jumbo did today with Yates and Thomas rolling attacks on the competition, and then have the best out of those 2 go deep in the last mountain stage in the tour. Bardet is Bardet so he'll probably lose some time again tomorrow, regain some time in a later stage, then lose it again, and end in 7th place after the time trial. I love the guy, but I don't think he's really a threat to the yellow at any point. And I'm saying that hoping it will be famous last words. At least I hope these guys will all start battling with each other in a reasonably close competition until the time trial, and Jumbo don't grab like another minute and a half tomorrow and put a stamp and seal on the yellow for the rest of the tour. Happy for Lanterne being vindicated that the Earth is indeed not flat. Just needs a little work on the mic technique there. Scream volume was fine. Just needs that little bit more distance away from the mic.

What resonated with me after listenig to you after the Longwy stage was that Patrick said Pogacar only really sees Roglic as his competitor. TJV noticed that and played it to perfection. I thought the better move would be to destroy UAE's domestiques first before attacking. But because it's Roglic, Pog had to chase even if he doesn't need to. Kudos to other teams for letting Pog close the gaps himself. I was hoping for something like this to happen instead of waiting on the last climb to make the moves and thanks TJV for lighting the race up.

Benji is going to be in shape for the Vuelta team selection.

Anybody giving credence to the idea that Pog might not have eat/drink enough? We know he suffers in heat and high altitude long climbs. But still, Pog getting dropped by Gaudu and Yates just doesn't seem right

Congrats on the predictions, I was very skeptical about V’s prospects until I saw the rolling attacks on Galibier. Podium wide open, should make for a great race.

This was one hell of a stage! So glad I could watched it, incredible win by Jonas! Also amazing job by Bardet, didnt saw that coming. Will be so interesting to see if Pog can respond. Shoutout to him for beeing a great sportsman in the end.

20:00 what you forget about van Art helping Roglic is that keeping Roglic within not too many minutes of Pogacar will make him a better tool later in the race. Which this stage itself goes to show.

Patrick drinking from a Jumbo Bottle is so offensive to me 😂 Especially after a stage like this its like sticking it in the face of all the Pogacar supporters😂

TBH, when Jumbo started attacking so far out I thought they were showing they were getting nervous and desperate! And that just shows one of the reasons I know nothing! Wout bringing Rog (and Gaudu!?) back, steamrolling the train, almost straight through the Pog/Jonas group and then realising, Whoops Wout! Classic.

Pogacar overpaced himself and cracked. He is not worse than Gaudu. Jones was not superhuman comparing to the rest. I think pog has still chances

Yup…Rog and Vin goes nuts…Pog continues to fight sword fight after sword fight himself burning match after match…then the best climber in the world just goes…Vin wins…I’d say I called this but I’m more bummed I didn’t ride today…Covid sucks stay healthy

Great podcast to complete the fantastic stage today. I can usually work while watching, but not today. I have nothing more to add to the comments already here. I do hope that Tadej's "revenge" will give us more exciting racing. Btw, watched it over again with my husband. Just as good the second time through. And I got work done that time! Thanks for the analysis!

Gaudu and Vlasov paced themselves really well, both were dropped on the Telegraphe initially. Jumbo won't be able to 1-2 Pog anymore so that's an advantage for Pogacar. I think Jakobsen will OTL, 40 mins down today. Madouas crazy level today... I was suprised Ineos never attacked off of Majka's pace. On the flat Pogacar can't get away but on a climb if you 1-2 him he can just set a strong pace to discourage attacks so it was a better strategy in my opinion. Pogacar will fight back, thats for sure. What a stage

While it was a great race, I have to be honest: I've watched every Tour since Federico Bahamontes won (in 1959), and I have seen many mind-blowing stages. After all, it's the Tour.

Thanks guys. There was a real sense of the King is deposed. If you watch Moto video of the last 1km where each rider comes in with their own moto Jonas, Nairo, Romain, Geraint, David all get huge unrelenting cheers and banging of the boards from the crowd but when Pog comes by with his gilet open and flapping there is a shocked silence and then far more muted sympathy cheers of the sort "well done for sticking to it and finishing".

This is my first TdF viewing of the race, not just highlights, so I can honestly say today is the most exciting stage ever. That was insane watching TJV pick away at Pogachar. I was enjoying every second of it. I chose Jonas to win because I believed he could do it and I wanted someone else to wear that jersey. I always root for the underdog and anyone not named Pogachar is an underdog.

Jonas was simply amazing, bravo! Agree with Patrick’s comment about Pog’s hubris. Yes, on Telegraph, Pog was fresh, but you have much better chances of breaking him there than letting him get to final climb (Pog wouldn’t have cracked). Roglic was absolutely key to breaking Pog. You’d never see any other rider from another team help run rolling attacks, only 2 genuine threats (in Pog’s mind) and they were on the same team. Finally, back in the dark times, a former Postal Service rider whose name I refuse to say, only concerned himself with Jan Ulrich and didn’t follow any other moves. Pog should rewatch the tapes.

You guys clearly underestimate Bardet's ITT, look at is results since he joined DSM, he's was stronger that what he used too

I am so proud of what Jumbo and Jonas has accomplished and I am a huge fan ever since Wout first signed with them. Having said that I think we are witnessing something that can absolutely blow everyone's mind... That is the true character of Pog.... I hope like hell that jumbo can deliver this yellow to Paris but Pog is a cat... He has nine lives... Amazing race and we'll see if Jumbo can skin a cat but the kitty might have more lives to spare on this tour.

I think even the biggest fans of Vingegaard would not have expected him to gain so much time on Pogacar. Under normal circumstances, he should have at least been able to close down Quintana and Bardet. Even more significantly, he was also overtaken by Thomas, Yates and Gaudu. All riders whom he (and Vingegaard) had distanced on the Galibier and normally eats for breakfast. Something went badly wrong to leave him so drained of energy. Hope he recovers quickly - something he has been renowned for - and regains his best form for the coming stages. On the plus side, Roglic is now even further back (11 1/2 min on GC), so I don't think that TJV can do the left hook - right hook tactic they did today.

Unpopular opinion: TJV didnt do nearly as much for Jonas today as most think Van Hooydonck-as expected didnt play a role today Kuss-only visible when crossing the finish line with Roglic Laporte-pulled on a short descent with Pogacar on the wheel Kruijswijk-paced a little, thats about it Wout-paced a false flat descent fast, chasing no GC guy and pulling away from nobody since everyone was in that group Benoot-paced some on Galibier, did his job Roglic-attacked a few times , making Pogacar close the gap because its still Roglic, basically a decoy So arguably, the last two did the most for Jonas, but nothing extraordinary. But of course, feel free to change my mind

What a great stage,INSANE IS ABSOLUTELY AN UNDERSTATEMENT 😉✌️🇧🇪🙏

Just love it, 🇩🇰, you could tell Primos was not in good form yet Pog chased his sprints every time in the valley, that took the energy out of Pog ready for Jonas to take Pog on the mountain. Thomas is effectively in 2nd he easily makes up 10sec in the TT but perhaps not 2min. What next ALPE D'HUEZ, oh yes, lets blow it all up again.

Those attacks on the lower part were brutal on Pog..One of if not the best stage I ever seen..pog. never had a chance! His team is now depleted and Jumbo played it perfect!! I kinda felt sorry for pog..I have to hand it to him he fought until he could not!! But I thought van should have went back sooner but still it was a brutal beat down!

Ready for the hype

It took an entire team to challenge one guy pog won the tour by himself

Best (most dramatic?) TDF stage since the Planche de Belle Filles TT a few years ago

Let's go. So exciting today. TDF hooks me every year.

Another outstanding podcast and of course the thrill of throwing off the 'flat earth' moniker and putting it on the backs of those of us who genuflect at the Pogacar Altar...well that's good too! Of course knowing that we'd get a jubilant outburst from LR made today's podcast all the better. And yes it was a tremendously entertaining stage. So many story lines and momentum shifts. That was an awesome display of cycling attacks, counter attacks and strategies. No matter who you were rooting for, you had to simply take it all in and enjoy the moment. BTW, have to give a tip of the chapeau to Benji. Very impressive results from your Zwift dedication. That's a major accomplishment and I'm sincerely happy for you. Keep it up.

Still think POG pulls it off.... never doubt him. Jonas put in a huge effort today and could fade or make a mistake. Jumbo threw everything at it today and finally got something. It will be interesting to see UAE shake things up

Bring back the Tugbuddy!!!! Yes you are allowed to keep saying it Patrick. Also insane tour to watch as a dane, also caught the first 2 stages in real life, which was also insane :D

Wout Van Aert waiting for Roglic on Col du galibier downhill was wierd. It actually benefited Pogacar most, because he got Rafał Majka up to help him. Vingegaard was alone with 7km to the top of granon against pogacar and majka that was that setting the pace.

Tour is over but what a stage to end it. Amazing from Jumbo and Jonas. Pogacar needs a team.

I love Pogi, He is the best gc rider since LA. But it feels very good to prover the hc Progifans wrong. The tour is not over when you only have 43 sec lead!

I think the battle for the overall podium is now wide open all the way to 7th. Gaudu is not out of it at 3'13. This might look different tomorrow, but I think we'll now have to look for Area, DSM and Groupama to also stay in the conversation. So great to see Nairo back at it. And G. ... WHAT A STAGE‼️

Absolutely amazing, I thought the tour was over!

Stage 12 absolutely set up for ineos. Everyone else lit all their matches yesterday while Yates and Thomas just kept their candle burning steadily. If they work together and Piddock has any legs left they can do a job today.

LR confirmed Michael Burry

One of the best rides of the day was largely off-camera, by Madouas single-handedly saving Gaudu’s tour for him.

Quintana is going to make a Flloyd Landis move tomorrow and win the tour XD

I think the JV tactic was to bait / encourage Pog all day to use his energy, those one two attacks on the flatter sections make complete sense when Pog goes full gas to close each one down, when Pog paced himself they let him and let him use his energy. Hats off to whoever worked it out. I would love to know if it was pre-planned and if it was Rog (who knows him well) who proposed the tactic or if it was Jan Boven etc. Would also love to know if Rog was giving Pog some banter about being on his own etc. to encourage his continued efforts. Would explain why Pog was so keen to drop Rog - would also be a good reason to bring him back before the final climb (for the last comedy „me again - you haven’t even get rid of me“ whisper in the ear) I also think LR prediction of 40s would have been accurate if Pog had fed well; but no team to get him the food / water he needed so he absolutely bonked in those last km‘s. Hopefully the next weeks are going to be wonderful racing.

Best ever Tour stage. I admit my bias 🇩🇰 but objectively this was just an exciting race with all kinds of things going on.

Benji, that's absolutely amazing. Fair play keep up the amazing Zwifting.

it is a shame bernal isn't here

I think that what LR said at the end sums it all very well. Jumbo did an amazing job, but now the pressure is on them and they can no longer do the 1,2 attacks with roglic because he is out. UAE does not have to control anymore and can put riders up the road. The attacks will be coming from Bardet, Pog and maybe even Yates. Let’s see if KRUIJSWIJK, Kuss and Rog can handle them. Amazing work from Jumbo today, but it ain’t over until it’s over. It’s on! Loving this tour

Benji to win at least 2 monuments in 2023. Well done mate keep it up.

Love the podcast, love the stage and great work on losing the weight Benji. You look great. Keep it up.

Amazing stage and commentary, as always...but the highlight of this pod is hearing about Benji's 17+ kilos...that's amazing...congrats...keep it up!

Awesome attacks. Roglic was also playing team here. This is the only way Jumbo can dethrone Pogy

only thing obvious today is Pog needs to watch the pod

Coming back to this after 2023 TDF - and this stage was really a foreshadowing of cote de la loze. Also amazing to hear you expect Pogacar to take 60-90 seconds on the TT, when Jonas beat Pogacar in that one and nukes him on TT in 2023 :)

Honestly I thought y'all were grasping at straws to keep the race going yesterday but wow glad to be wrong. Proper hyped to see how this plays out
