đ„ Excuse me? Pogacar casually throws empty water bottle at IntermarchĂ© team manager Aike Visbeek
CyclingSaturday, 20 July 2024 at 09:23
A peculiar moment during the nineteenth stage, at the foot of the Col de la Bonette. Tadej Pogacar had just scored a full water bottle and still needed to get rid of his empty one. He happened to be riding by the team car of Intermarché-Wanty and threw his water bottle inside to Aike Visbeek and his colleagues. Amusing? Maybe, but also a bit strange..."
The Bonette, by the way, was a non-event in terms of spectacle. No one broke away from the overall standings, UAE Team Emirates rode superiorly uphill, and Pogacar was never in trouble. On X, there was a lot of reporting about the incident, and both teams involved also commented on the water bottle.

MrYuck23-11-2024 - It seemed that he was focusing forward at the time of the crash, after seeing a quick video snippet. But one thing I think he should focus on more intently is breaking a bad habit he has, right now. And that is his constant looking over his shoulders. He does that so much, that I am very sure it is not good for him. Simply watch videos of the greats of CX and you will see very little of that constant looking over their shoulders. That is a behavior that betrays a bit of insecurity on his part. He shouldn't be so concerned, incessantly, about what is over his shoulder. He needn't worry they didn't all disappear. He neds to keep his focus more ahead of himself, and he needs to pay a bit more attention to himself, in a confident manner. It is very frustrating to watch, because it is apparent that he has a lot of potential, and is in much better shape thwan many of his competitors, but the mental game needs to be sharpened more, because that part of strategy plays a huge part in the final results
