Pogacar parle de la tactique de Visma, de Vingegaard et de son plan d’attaque : “À ce stade, je m’attends à ce que les écarts soient plus grands”
1 moment and 15 second. That yellow shirt Tadej Pogacar’s lead over his primary adversary Jonas Vingegaard, following nine days of the Visit de France. The Slovenian thumped on the Dane’s entryway on numerous occasions in the stages that fit him well, yet up to this point Vingegaard has kept it firmly shut. On the rest day, Pogacar took stock during his question and answer session.
Remco Evenepoel has figured out how to wedge himself between the two double cross Visit de France champs with a 33-second shortfall, yet most importantly, he positions himself as an expected partner for the Slovenian. On Sunday, the main two in the standings, who turned out to remain at a similar inn on the rest day, needed to take action in the rock stage, yet Visma | Rent a Bicycle and Vingegaard would have rather not joined. What’s the significance here until the end of the Visit?
Tadej, what does your rest day resemble?
“We’re in an inn with little rooms, however luckily I don’t invest a lot of energy there. I have this question and answer session and earlier today we did a visit with a decent espresso stop in Orleans, graciousness of Nils Politt. Before long I’ll have another back rub and afterward the day will be finished.”
Last year Visma | Rent a Bicycle went into the last week with a ton of certainty and they appear to be going for that again now. How would you check that out?
“Last year they went into the last week with a great deal of certainty, and I believe they’re attempting exactly the same thing now. That doesn’t make any difference to me since I have significantly more trust in myself this year. I’m getting a charge out of how the race has gone up to this point. I have the yellow pullover and that feels quite a bit better. I’m riding my own race and typically I must have great legs until the end too.”
Information disclosed between you, Remco and Jonas on the rock segments?
“There was very little correspondence, simply a few motions and a few words. Everybody understands what to do and Sunday me and Remco needed to ride to the completion, however if Jonas would rather not help? Then, at that point, so be it, it was as yet a cool competition to ride. I felt quite a bit better and that made it a fine day eventually.”
Pogacar needs to address many inquiries concerning Vingegaard
What is your impression of Jonas’ structure?
“Currently on day two, in the stage to San Luca, we did the best time on that trip. Jonas was at that point ready to hold my wheel there, so I need to say that I definitely knew on day two that his structure is very great. You can likewise see it in the manner he moves in the peloton, the manner in which he takes drops… He’s sharp.”
Might it be said that you are happy with the lead you have now?
“Indeed, really I’m Last year it was the reverse way around, then I needed to make up time. That was a serious irritation, so I feel more open to being in the number one spot now. It’s anything but a huge lead, yet at the same time. I actually anticipate decent duels, even with Remco and Primoz there. Then, at that point, having some time on those guys is better.”
Had you anticipated that there should be a greater lead following nine days of dashing?
“Truly, I didn’t have the foggiest idea how great he was. At the point when they reported he was going to the Visit, I realized he wouldn’t begin on the off chance that he wasn’t in shape. That was affirmed after two phases, so by then I expected I wouldn’t have the option to get an over the top lead.”
Jonas let me know he thought you looked solid, more grounded than him even. Is that valid?
“I think not. He’s attempting to make light of, on the grounds that any other way he will not follow me on San Luca in the subsequent stage. It doesn’t matter at all to me that much, I center around partaking in my days on the bicycle and the yellow pullover.”
Is it true or not that you fear Jonas?
“No, I would try and be more frightened of Remco when he went after. In any case, I’m not scared of anybody and I needn’t bother with to be. On Sunday, I saw that Visma | Rent a Bicycle feared me. Jonas just saw me, yet that is the powerful at the present time. We’ll find out how it turns out.”
Is it likewise a psychological distraction?
“On the off chance that they attempt to hit me intellectually, they don’t succeed. The manner in which they race is totally against me, yet I’m utilized to that from past releases of the Visit de France. I’m utilized to it and I couldn’t care less, I do whatever I might want to do.”
