Óscar Pereiro "I went from a funeral to busting my career and getting dirty with shit"
Anthological replica and devastating exchange of blows between great guys.
Tadej Pogacar
, the most compact and impressive runner of the new generation, responded to
Van de Poel's
feat on
Friday with a superb attack on a dantesque day. Dog days on the first appointment with the Alps, with rain, wind and cold, which caused an earthquake in the general, with a change of leader and brutal fainting of candidates for the podium in Paris.
The Slovenian broke the group of good guys with a forceful offense with 30 kilometers to go and with two first-class ports ahead. He accelerated and only
Richard Carapaz kept up
for 300 meters
. The UAE kid left with an astonishing pedaling cadence and self-confidence. Little by little he neutralized a line of escapees who were hallucinating with the progression of a runner who threatens not to let go of the yellow jersey until the end of the Champs Elysees. He finished fourth in a stage won by
escapee Dylan Teuns
, the second consecutive win for the
Bahrain Victorious
team
. Second place for
Ion Izagirre
.
The Slovenian advances towards the reconquest of his reign with an overwhelming superiority. Tremendous this child who runs
like old men
, those who move by the sensations and impulses of their body. The cycling of before, more attractive than that of the watts and the heart rate monitors.
A hellish day in which two favorites presented a letter of surrender.
Geraint Thomas
and
Primoz Roglic
(injured by the crash in the third stage, in the French Finistere) lost contact with the group of the best 100 kilometers from the finish line. Heads of ranks hastily eliminated and who must now justify their high payroll by acting as gregarious.
Van Aert
, freed from ties, has the first great chance of his life to show off and opt for the podium at the
Grande Boucle
. The Belgian lacks prejudice and is daring like few others. On the first day in the Alps, he sought out
Van der Poel's
tickles
on numerous occasions.
Change of approach in a Jumbo punished by adversity.
Ineos
was also affected
, but the British group has a superior wardrobe background. Today, despite Thomas' setback, he tried to move his pieces with ambitious intentions, with attempts by
Kwiatkowski
,
Porte
and
Tao Geoghegan
, but everything was in fireworks before Pogacar's phenomenal maneuver.
Carapaz's
squad
controlled the first half of the stage. Before the ascent to the three chained ports of first Mont-Saxonnex, Romme and la Colombiere, he put
Castroviejo
in the group of escapees in which about 20 runners entered, among them
Izagirre
,
Elissonde
,
Yates
,
Cattaneo
,
Woods
,
Guillaume Martin
,
Kuss
,
Quintana
and
Valverde
. But the Murcian fell down due to a faint caused by the cold and was then overtaken by the group of
Miguel Ángel López
and
Enric Mas
. Grandpa was always bothered by the rain and low temperatures and today he suffered an unexpected crisis. A pack of notable riders who fought with the conquest of the stage apart from the erosion maneuvers in the group of the best. 33 kilometers from the finish line, on the climb to Romme, Van der Poel and Van Aert could not hold the pace imposed by
Formolo
, Pogacar's gregarious in the UAE.
Elimination by wear.
After the surrender of the Dutch and the Belgian,
Pogacar
unleashed his festival, with an acceleration impossible to reduce in the last two climbs and a dizzying descent on the way to Grand Bornand, in pursuit of
Dylan Teuns
.
Three minutes and 19 seconds behind Carapaz and
Enric Mas
, five against Van Aert and more than 10 against Van der Poel.
Thomas and Roglic, lost in the group of sprinter.
A brutality on the first date in the Alps.
Another display of an imperial Pogacar.
