Only crash and health issue can stop Pogi.
Jonas the only rival that Pogi have right now. After watching Daphine and saw Pogi drop Jonas on saddle, Jonas looks like no chance already or maybe he sandbag going.

Remco? No chance at all. Even lose to Lipowitz in Daphine.

my prediction

1. JV
2. Remco
3. Pogi

Pogacar doing Pogacar thing. Hail Pogi!!!

Visma try to tire Pogacar from the 1st stage, they ride aggressively on high pace but in the end yesterday stage Visma the exploded. even Jorgenson and Simon Yates also being drop before the start of Hautacam.

remind me Philipsen 2022 haha.

Pogi's doping accusation always been highlighted when he won. I believe he's naturally talented and free from EPO usage. UCI nowadays has high tech machine to check the doping. what i heard every time stage winner, UCI will take blood sample from them.

Modern era cycling now focus on nutrition, diet, systematic training and cycling equipment. + recovery process to increase performance to their rider.

If no major accident, i believe Pogi can beat Cavendish records. In his current age (26 y/old) he already won 21 TDF stages compare to Eddie Mercx (19) and Cavendish (20). the TDF is not finish yet.

Pogi also already won 3 TDF GC in his 26y/old same with Eddie Mercx. this guy is phenomenal.

my TDF POV in last 5 years between Pogi n Jonas, i think Jonas won on 2021-2023 is partly because Pogacar not fit and his team got health issue.

in 2022, UAE got 4 riders abandon because of Covid. Pogacar kene bullied by Visma rider and always been isolated at every stage. but he still got podium behind Jonas.
in 2023, Pogi left wrist fractured one month before the Tour and he don't have enough mileage and training for the tour. still got podium behind the Jonas.
2024, Jonas got very bad crash (u can read on the net) but he got enough time to training, and his performance last year is better than 2023, u can read his watt/kg comparison X (cyclinggraphs) which shows his performance is at the peak last year but still can't beat Pogacar.

with 103 wins in hand i hope Pogi can beat Eddy records (276) which is quite impossible. different era.

Pogi - the richest cyclist in the world with 8M euro per year. equal with Alex Albon, F1 driver hahaha

TDF 2025 is completed. as expected Pogi is the winner. He's at another level this year. the best Jonas this year still can't beat him even his team also. Pogi getting mature. Ride defensively and fully attack when he saw others can follow him.

TDF this time from my POV, is the hardest TDF in modern era. Visma team setting the higher pace since the day 1 plus with route stage i can't believe all the ride can follow the pace that has been setup from Visma.
