Doubts about Tadej Pogacar, Lance Armstrong reveals his truths

This Tuesday,
the route of the Tour de France 2025 has been revealed by Christian Prudhomme. A route that some consider unfavorable to the title holder and three-time winner of the most prestigious bicycle race, Tadej Pogacar. An opinion that Lance Armstrong does not share, however. For the American, no matter the route, the best cyclist in the world always wins in the end.

“I read comments on ASO (the organizer of the Grande Boucle, editor's note) or the Tour, which say the same thing, saying that they are trying to test Pogacar with the course. We have heard that every year, after a few Tours, we look at the track in relation to Pogacar or Armstrong. None of this matters.”thus analyzed the one who was stripped of these seven Tour de France for doping in his podcast The Move.

Armstrong: “It’s the Tour, and 99 times out of 100, the best people win”

And to continue: “ I always joked that if they ever decided to do 22 criteriums around Paris, we would have to figure out how to win. If you are Pogacar, you need to study how to do it. This conversation makes no sense, the best cyclists are prepared for the courses. It's the Tour, and 99 times out of 100, the best people win. »

On the RTBF side, however, we think that
the route of this 112^e edition of the Grande Boucle is made for “Pogi”even calling it “ red carpet » for the Slovenian. Others see on the contrary
a journey intended to make Jonas Vingegaard shinedetermined to do everything possible to win his third Grande Boucle in 2025. The Dane will, without a doubt, be the main competitor to the new world champion in the fight for the yellow jersey.
