Lost zero time to the chasing group on the descent and flat then crosses the line like he’s been on a cafe ride. I think it’s fair to say the race hasn’t taken much out of him.

It’s been a good training camp. 😉
Which was my thinking when he announced he was doing both. Vuelta will loom large if he has a good TdF.
The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.

Let's be clear now, he isn't going to ride the Vuelta unless he either doesn't start or crashes out of the Tour early on.

Be tempting if he has a easy tour though....most of the opposition is in a concrete culvert

If anyone is to do the triple this year may be it

Obviously the secret is in having a high factor wet wipe.

From what I have heard it's a 21 day stage race ...how hard can it be

I assume his next aim if he takes the Tour will be to win the Worlds.

He can't really be targeting the tour. Whether he goes must depend on if he's willing to use it as a training ride or not.

How sure are we Jonas is good for the vuelta even?

Good thing pog went as late as he did ... A few km earlier and he could have been in real trouble

I loved the time where the young lad runs along side asking for his bottle or something. So Pog grabs a bottle from a helper and gives it to the lad all while he’ s riding to win the stage. Fan for life.

He's back training and his team aren't ruling out him riding the TdF so the indications are it's more a case of regaining race fitness.

You’d think so. A worlds course to suit him doesnt come annually.

Not riding the olympics? They only come round every four years...

In the same season. Chris Froome won the Tour and the Vuelta in 2017, then took the Giro in 2018.

If he has any energy left after winning the Tour then he'd have to consider it. This is the Poginator. 😉

Problem is there could be a fully fit Jonas to face in the Vuelta.

Nobody said it would be easy. The best chance ever though. Who else does he have to beat?
