If you saw the time trial that opened up the third week of racing at the 2023 Tour de France, we’ll forgive you for having a healthy dose of skepticism. But let’s not forget to enjoy the spectacle: Jonas Vingegaard and Tadej Pogacar are going to slug this one out until Paris, and we all get front row seats. With Vingegaard’s commanding performance on the TT course, Pogacar has some serious work to do in the mountains.
Neal Rogers (former VeloNews editor in chief) and Andrew Hood (Velo European Editor) catch up with host Dan Cavallari on the Slow Guy on the Fast Ride podcast to analyze Vingegaard’s astonishing time trial to open the third week of the Tour de France, and what that means for the third week of racing.
In the second half of the show, Rogers and Hood give their takes on the Americans at the Tour de France. Does the future hold GC success for Sepp Kuss? Will Matteo Jorgenson reach super domestique status in 2024? How likely is Neilson Powless to be wearing polka dots in Paris?
Hoody and Neal break down the action in this episode of the Slow Guy on the Fast Ride podcast.
