Pogačar ima po uvodni etapi Toura zaostanek za velikim konkurentom

In the first stage of the Tour de France, Danish cyclist Jonas Vingegaard achieved the best individual time in the team time trial, finishing eight seconds ahead of Italian Filippo Ganna (Netcompany Ineos). Slovenian cyclist Tadej Pogačar came in third, 12 seconds behind Vingegaard. The victory was awarded to the entire Visma-Lease a Bike team, one of the main favorites before the race began. The Dutch team was fastest at the second and third intermediate times, with two remaining members preparing the terrain for Vingegaard to cross the finish line ahead of Ganna. Pogačar started with a slight deficit of five seconds behind Ineos, but lost more ground over the course of the race, ending up 12 seconds behind. Other top cyclists also faced setbacks, including French rider Paul Seixas (Decathlon) who finished tenth, 39 seconds behind Vingegaard, and Spanish cyclist Juan Ayuso (Lidl-Trek) who came in fourth, 16 seconds behind. Belgian cyclist Remco Evenepoel (Red Bull) finished 19 seconds behind. Slovenian riders Matej Mohorič (Bahrain-Victorious) and Jan Tratnik (Red Bull) acted as support riders in their teams, with reports indicating that Mohorič fell during the race.

Tadej Pogačar, slovenski kolesar in aktualni svetovni prvak, ima možnost postati prvi vodič v drugi etapi 113. Tour de France, ki se bo odigrala v Kataloniji. Etapa, ki se bo začela v Tarragoni in zaključila v Barceloni, ponuja poseben izziv z zaključnim klancom čez Montjuic, ki je znani za svojo težavo in izgled. Pogačar, ki je v ekipi UAE Emirates, bo v tej etapi imel možnost pokazati svojo formo in potencial za zmago, kar bi mu omogočilo, da obleče rumeno majico že v drugi etapi.

Etapa bo začela z 85 kilometri ob katalonski obali, nato pa se bo vrnila v Barcelono, kjer bo kolesarji čakal odločilen klanec. Kranjski klanec, ki bo dolg 1,6 kilometra in povprečnim naklonom 9,3 odstotka, bo bil ključen element v boju za etapno zmago. Kolesarji bodo morali prečkati tri kroge, v katerih bo najtežji del klanca vključeval vzpon čez Montjuic, ki je bil v preteklosti pomembna lokacija za več kolesarskih tekmovitev.

V Boju za etapno zmago se bodo srečali ne le favoriti za visok skupni rezultat, temveč tudi eksplozivnejši kolesarji, ki so specializirani za kratke in hitre zaključke. Med glavnimi pretendentoma za zmago so Romain Gregoire (Groupama-FDJ), Mathias Vack (Lidl-Trek), Juan Ayuso in Mathias Skjelmose. Tadej Pogačar, ki bo v ekipi s Mehičanom Isaacem del Toro, bo imel možnost izkoristiti svojo formo in možnosti, ki jih ponujajo njegovi ekipni kolegi.

Pogosto se pojavljajo tudi drugi nevarni kolesarji, kot so Remco Evenepoel (Red Bull Bora-Hansgrohe), ki je znan po svojih eksplozivnih zaključkih, in Florian Lipowitz, ki bo poskušal preživeti kaotičen dan. Tudi Maxim van Gils (Team DSM) in Mathieu van der Poel (Alpecin-Fenix) so vključeni v boj za zmago, vendar ostaja vprašanje, ali bo van der Poel uspel preživeti klanec čez Montjuic.

Tadej Pogačar je na tiskovni konferenci pred predstavitvijo ekip v Barceloni izrazil svoje želje za zmago na Touru, vendar je dejal, da je njegova ekipa načrtovala strategijo, ki bi mu omogočila, da poskusijo osvojiti peto zmago na največji dirki na svetu. Pogačar je poudaril, da je Mehičan Isaac del Toro izjemno vpliven v ekipi in da bi lahko bil izvrsten pomočnik ali drugi kapetan, podobno kot je bil Jonas Vingegaard v ekipi Visma.

Ekipa UAE Emirates je v tem letu imela nekoliko sprememb v svoji sestavi, vključno s Felix Grossschartnerjem, ki je bil v preteklosti zelo aktivno v gorskih etapah. Ekipa je tudi prilagodila svojo strategijo, da bi bolje izkoristila možnosti za taktiziranje in podporo Pogačaru.

Vrhnja v Barceloni bo dodatno izpostavila kolesare, ki so vključeni v boj za etapno zmago, saj bo temperatura v mestu visoka, kar bo dodatno izpostavilo kolesare in njihove možnosti. Vrhunec bo v klančevih čez Montjuic, kjer bodo kolesarji morali pokazati svojo moč in izdržljivost.

V naslednjih treh tednih do Pariza se pričakuje, da bo Pogačar vključen v več bojev, kjer bo imel možnost pokazati svojo formo in izkoristiti svojo moč. Vsi v ekipi UAE Emirates so prepričani, da bo Pogačar vključen v več bojev, kjer bo imel možnost pokazati svojo formo in izkoristiti svojo moč.
