A brutal 200 kms stage with 4,831 metres of altitude gain was raced in 35C to the top of Plateau de Beille
The 25 yr old's tactic was to stay hydrated in the heat
Pogacar was near his limit when Jonas Vingegaard tried to drop him , but Pogacar could see that Jonas was also starting to suffer; he didn’t have the legs to go to the top, so hé pushed on his own legs.
At the end of the stage, it was reported that Pogacar had climbed the Plateau de Beille in 39min 41sec, compared with the late Marco Pantani’s winning time of 43min 20sec in 1998’s scandal-riddled “Festina Tour".
Pogacar said of his climb and stage win at Plateau de Beille: “I think we all witnessed one of the best performances on the climb ever, when I checked my [power] numbers after, they were really crazy, the highest numbers I have ever done in my career.”
With this kind of performance it's no wonder Tadej Pogacar is drawing very lofty comparisons with his supreme dominance of the 2024 Giro d'Italia, with many comparing his cannibalistic attitude towards the race, with that of cycling legend, Eddy Merckx.
