Spectators in the final climb were a bit over the top in my opinion.
Both Pogi and Vingegaard have were visibly annoyed.
Pogi had a near collision with a guy waving a flag and Vingegaard had to inhale the smoke of a Bengalo during the climb.
I hate people!
Someone also threw chips after both of them.
It was one dude putting chips in their face, like wtf how big of an asshole you have to be going all the way up there, waiting all day just to ruin it for the riders
Without mentioning the idiot who threw snacks on both Pogi and Jonas
As an American, I am accustomed to watching bouche daggery from sports fans, but I can see that we do not have a monopoly on fumb ducking behavior.
Absolute respect to Nils Politt..what a machine!
Best teeth in the peloton
2nd best rider of the day next to pogi
nills politt absolutely hammered it
Unsung hero for sure
@@joncorbett4021 Tim Wellens wasn’t half bad either.
Yates cycling style is so clean I love watching him
Going to UAE is crazy. They have a really really strong team
@@gw3485.Climbing power of UAE is nuclear
Agreed! Love watching Yates!
imagine if majka was here too
Reminds me a bit of Contador, "dancing in the pedals".
Spectators need to back up and give some space on these climbs. Tadej gets hit in the face, Jonas breathes in smoke from a flare. It's great to see cycling becoming so popular, but there's a fine line there.
Loving these stages, it seems like no one is sitting up and taking it easier EVER in this whole tour so far!
tbh I kinda surprised that this is allowed. U just have to have 1 evil/psycho person and the whole tour is fucked.
I've been watching Le Tour for close to 20 years now. This stuff's been going on for a long time now, the tunnel of dipshits is an age old tradition. The one thing that has changed most is people with their phones out, taking pictures and not paying attention to where they are standing. There has always been lots of arseholes that are more interested in getting on TV running around with their bare asses hanging out, waving flags, tossing stuff on the riders, then just cheering on the guys.
@@user-en9qd5nx8w totally, and it’s reassuring to hear that the majority of people know how to get out of the way and have been doing that for years. I don’t even mind those acting stupid to get on TV, it’s the touching the riders that gets problematic.
This isn't allowed@@TheHolladiewaldfeee
cycling was always popular. look at pictures from any decade of the past, climbs are packed
Tadej was very impressive today, and so was the whole UAE team, but the one who surprised me the most was Remco. He's doing very well (so far) for his first try at the TDF.
True. I hope he is going to be competitive with jonas and tadej in the coming years
@@renevb196 A podium is a good start !
He's not far behind Vingegaard and may take back some time on the final TT
Big balls Remco rode like a true champion, love the kid!
Remco wasn't doing well today, barely better time than place 10-12 riders
@@renevb196he’s a bit younger than Poga, so he might even improve and get closer to his level. Perhaps if he loses some more weight, he can be more competitive in the big mountain stages. More weight loss might make him less good in other aspects though - e.g. ITT’s and LBL might become more difficult for him. Right now he’s very impressive - take away those superhumans in front of him and he’s dominating the TdF -, but, unfortunately, he just doesn’t seem incredible enough to compete with those two (who might very well be the best GC-riders ever)
As a German I’m literally weeping everytime I see Nils shred it on the front in admiration and pain at the same time. Dude’s an absolutely underrated machine - glad he slowly gets his deserved recognition. And at the same I won’t ever understand how Ralf Denk could have been like “naah bro we don’t need him THAT much at Bora to justify his salary. “ Oh yes you do, Ralf, oh yes you do!
He’s showing him how good he is
I love the guy
literally weeping? Really??
I don’t think Pollitt is underrated. He won a stage in the 2022 Tour and he almost won Omloop this year.
For Pogi fans, this stage was a feast.
The guy who threw chips at both Pogi and Jonas should be in jail.
He spent the night in jail, and is getting charged
Day 2 of missing Primoz!
Same 😢
@@nikiniki7176 who?
Primoz is LaVuelta king.
Day 2 of Primoz not crashing (not confirmed)
I just wish he was competitive. He clearly wasn't close to contention prior to the crash.
Politt absolute crazy today…
German machine🇩🇪🚀
He deserved the combativity award for today’s stage for me
@@nakawesiabia6311 Agreed!
May Potato Chip Man be found and publicly shamed for very bad, dangerous behavior.
Jail
And flare guy
Politt smashing it on the front for so long was really impressive.
First, the fans need control and second, as a strong pogi fan i still feel for jonas, coming back from that crash is amasing. Great tour so far
Would be nice to have a race. Shame he doesn't have Slovenian doctors ;)
@@anomalousresult This is an ahh weak comment 😂😂
@@anomalousresult 😂😂 crazy that you think there's a bigger chance that pogacar is doping rather than jonas
Smart maneuvers sending Yates ahead. Pog's punch is his advantage over Jonas, and Yates allows him to recover for a beat and holds the gap. Then Pog can press on and expand the gap while Jonas never closes it down.
At least Primoz didn’t crash today! 🎉
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Yes, he was very careful today. And practically invisible.
How do you know he wasn't on a bike today?
So Pogo sprinting yesterday cost him today, huh? Muppets in the comments yesterday...
By their silence, I'd say their parents have confiscated their keyboards today.
Yup. Was about to say the same thing.
Maybe he needed that sprint to get back into his groove after he lost the sprint to Vingegaard. And that gave him the boost in confidence to attack today ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Still waiting for him to crack tomorrow 😂😂😂that coz tomorrow suits jonas or stage 19 😂😂😂they think tadej came to play 😂😂😂
Love seeing a bit of on-the-road tactical nous, hittin' em with the 1-2 to get away ahead of the more variable terrain! Great stuff.
1min57 is not enough to say the TDF is finished.
What Pogacar did today was more tactical than other days, as today he stayed in VGG wheel (and not the other way around), which was a first since the beginning of this TDF.
They said this morning they wanted Adam Yates to win the stage. Even if Pogacar was cheeky/joking/smiling during this interview, it might have been true at some point. Then I think he saw a small opportunity, hoping for the best after jumping in Adam's wheel.
Tomorrow might be the first stage where we see if VGG is able to win this TDF (and if Pogacar will lose it).
Hahaha stop the cap pls?
Another Pogi win today
@@paulschmidt3470 Yeah. Same tactics as yesterday (following instead of leading), and it paid quite well.
Some former riders think VGG planned his peak form for next week, I don't know what will happen or not.
The stage today seemed a bit harder on the UAE team (nobody really helped Pogacar today besides getting bidons), but at the same time VGG only had MJorgenson to make an impact in the final climb.
Stage 19 might be the only one left where VGG can get back time on Pogacar.
With 3min09 tonight, Pogacar is in a strong position to win this TDF.
The whole UAE team looks so strong. Although Jonas isn't hemorrhaging time like Pogacar did last year, Tadej is visibly stronger - despite his loss yesterday. Just looking at how both of them crossed the finish, you can tell Pogi has more in the tank. Still a fantastic battle that hopefully will last until the end. Regardless of the outcome, Vingegaard is a champ for coming back like this.
Third week has the power to shift things by quite a margin. I would even not count out Evenepoel just yet. He has been the revelation of this Tour for me so far
I dont think Jonas get enough credit for his performance. He was keeping the gap on 10-12 sec and even closing it until the flatsection, which suits Pogacar way better. Tomorrows stage suits Jonas way better and i think it's gonna be one hell of a stage.
the only thing is, HOW will he create a gap. all Pog needs to do now is follow while having the best team to back him up.
@@youbetu18 I think the only way Jonas can win is if Pogacar has a off day either tomorrow or on stage 19.
Yeah I think tomorrow will be the day we really find out what kind of shape they are both in. Won’t be surprised if Tadej ends up paying for the finishes yesterday and today too… will be a fun one to watch tomorrow no matter what.
@@kmdahl1196 before today I was certain Vingegaard would win the tour. but today showed how easily UAE can play. Sure Yates lasted for only for a total of 30s drafting Pog after the jump up the mountain. but they can pull that one on every mountain finish until the tour is over.
the way for jonas to win the tour in my eyes is to survive that, reel pog back in, and then drop him. but thats one hell of a task. after today im not so sure if he is strong enough for that.
@@youbetu18 Forsure what he has to do, and it's forsure gonna be hard, but we never know it's the tour.
Vingo is doing amazingly well considering the lack of training. He’s still not completely out yet.
plus his lack of climbing support.
The phantom of Sepp Kuss hovered throughout the final climb...
i was devastated when they announced sepp wont be able to be on this tour but this stage just made my heart break even more. I badly wanted to see sepp on this tour I was looking forward to it for months since the vuelta. And UAE getting the reverse having yates with them is just
I like sepp but he wouldn't make big diff. Pogacar was crazy strong today
@@Zawisza499I agree, let's say he would have been useful in limiting the damage...
Given Jonas recent history, hats off for his performance, amazing comeback. He beat the wunderkind young guy who was taunting him earlier.
SK would have made zero difference
Was rooting for Healy 😢
The break never had enough time
I'm danish so i'm obviously rooting for Vingegaard, but at the same time Tadej winning this year makes next years tour so much more exciting... I think many of us expecting Jonas to win before his crash, then for a while we didn't even know if he was going to race.
Don’t spoil the result in the title in the video
They say "It ain't over until the Fat Lady sings" but Tadej looks strong and Jonas probably is now feeling the effects of his previous crash and lack of preparation. Get well soon Primoz!
“Adam Jates” kills me every time 😂
Caught that too :)
I notice that he says it this way, what’s it about? Is this a joke or allusion to something?
@@laurenjaffe5493 not sure but I think it’s an allusion to the accents of some European cycling commentators
"This victory is for all my teammates" Tadej
As he gets all the praise, recognition, and adoration for the win
@@5508Vanderdekken Yeah because he won it? lol
Enric Mas disappoints on a regular basis.
Regular Vuelta 2nd place incoming!
Was bound to happen after being anointed the next Contador
His Achilles heel has been the Tour for sure. And I always kinda liked the guy.
Thank you for the recap, as always ❤🙏🏻
Advantage Pogacar for sure, but wouldn't call it just yet - if you look at what's left on the menu, pretty much anything can still happen.
Pog has taken about 25 seconds going uphill, and another minute and a half descending and on rolling terrain. I think it's 90% his now, but it's not truly over 'till the big steep finishes.
It is not over till the fat lady sings at the end of the last TT
Yeah, I like both of them (though always find myself wanting Jonas to win a little more), but saying Pogi STOMPED Jonas today is a little over the top when it was a 39s lead that grew very slowly and steadily with no bonk from Jonas - won’t be totally surprised if we see Jonas do quite well tomorrow. Also won’t be surprised if Tadej completely cracks Jonas either. Going to be an eventful day tomorrow no matter what!
@@MikeyAntonakakisPatrick is employed by Visma to help offer strategies for Jonas to beat Pogacar. He’s sandbagging or putting headlines to provoke a reaction and hits… he’s in full war strategy mode hoping Jonas cracks Pogi tomorrow/stage 19…
@@michaelgriffiths305 Patrick?
@@michaelgriffiths305and pogi has Swiss bold guy
UAE Team is so stacked I think it will be really hard for Jonas to create a gap. Praying that it happens though and the GC Difference closes a bit!
Jaja seguí rezando
When Adam Yates attack it seems team UAE send him to won stage. Meanwhile Tadej Pogaćar also attacks they work hard and smart to make some difference of time from Jonas and Evenepoel. At last 4km Yates left him and then Pogaćar make difference of 39sec and won. Best UAE team work and Great ride from Tadej Pogaćar!....
Exactly! I was thinking the same, seing Adam Yates attack looked like they were going for the stage win and also a good reason to save Almeida from pulling in the main group, but they had bigger plans! Master class from UAE today
So happy they start racing smarter
After the race Adam Yates explained what happened.
He was talking to Poggi. Adam told Poggi that he felt good and could attack. Poggi told him (not the UAE team) if he felt good he should try to attack. Poggi waited to see the reaction of the other cyclists to Adam Yates' escape attempt. No one tried to close the gap to Adam and that was the signal for Poggi to try to attack 4.6 km before the finish line.
The key moment happened a few hundred meters before the mark (2km to the finish) when Poggi recovered to ride with Yates. Immediately after the 2 km mark, Poggi repeated his attack and increased his lead from 9 seconds to 39 seconds.
The role of Adam Yates was to try to attack and after that he helped a few hundred meters for Poggi to recover. That was the driver's tactic, not the UAE team's. The UAE team had a similar scenario but the drivers decided when and how to attack.
@@siroliver9889thank you for the explanation! Even more impressive I would say, having the brains to pull this tatics in the final of a stage like this is crazy
@@rmsc22
Cyclists know their form better than team managers.
There was an option to try something similar but in this case it was a deal between Adam Yates and Poggi.
Right after the race Adam Yates gave an interview. He explained what he had discussed with Poggi. If you followed the race 10km before the finish, you can see that Adam Yates and Poggi are talking. And he said exactly what I wrote. Poggi told him if he felt good to attack.
At the end of the race, Poggi thanked everyone in the team for today's success. He said this was a team win.
the only video i need after missing a stage. keep going like this.
Such a good summary of todays racing 👏👏👏👏
7 watts per kg over 30 minutes CLIMBING...this is unbelievable
That’s Hautacam 96 level honestly and with previous mountains in the legs too!
Question is: Unbelievable in the good way or the bad way?
Probably closer to 6.5 W/kg based on VAM of 1822 m/h
Unbelievable in a bad way.
@@jmsytbethey are all using
Go go, go Pogi go, go!
Lost Ayuso but UAE still stacked with soldiers of fortune mercenaries...
Lowkey ayuso leaving helped UAE chemistry💀
Tbf Ayuso was refusing to work and stuff so probably more cohesive now
@racter4203 agree - might be a better vibe in that bus
@@racter4203 agree. Unfortunately...
It’s reminding me of the 2009 Astana TDF team honestly I don’t know which team is stronger this 2024 UAE team or the 2009 Astana TDF team
Love this channel 🎉
Genius move. GC teams now have to mark every move by Yates
He’s like 8 min down no one cares lol
Jonas was expecting 2min again, so he's doing good lmao.
Terbaik lah Poggy
It is a miracle Jonas is even alive after that crash and a miracle that he is riding the race so far at second place in the hardest race in cycling and on a particularly hard stage.
Remember Jonas only got on a bike 6 weeks before the start after 10 weeks off. Plus he is missing his top mountain domestique to covid.
Pog will win in Nice but even he knows the real contest is hopefully in 2025 with both of them fully fit and with full support teams and maybe as we have just heard it’s possible with Remco riding the 2025 TDF as leader with a fully dedicated Red Bull Bora team
Excelente video 👏🏼
The best tour de france commentator out there !
Fantastic stage - excited for Pogi!
Today Pogi GOTCHA!!
🤙🤙🇸🇮💛🇫🇷
I'm rooting for Vingegaard, but from the start I thought he had little chance to win this year. He should be quite proud to be competing as well as he is right now. Aside from Vingegaard recovering from injury, it's clear that UAE has the stronger team this year - especially in the mountains. Jorgenson is really strong, but they have to be missing Kuss right now.
And UAE is now missing Ayuso. Also, Pogacar is attempting the Giro-Tour double, something which has not been achieved since 1998, so the toll taken by the Giro levels the playing field somewhat.
Vin và Pogacar hai người tôi yêu thích, vì ai dành chiến thắng cũng điều xứng đáng ❤❤
Pog's refuelling issues from Wednesday appeared to be sorted today by soigneur throwing a packet of Salty Vingegaard crisps at him just after his attack on the final climb.
Jonas has "had his chips" right enough....
Looking good for Pogacar but not over. Remaining mountain stages will be decisive as well as the TT which could have really big gaps like last year
Why you gotta ruin it in the title Mae?
Tbh this year is clearly not jonas vingegaards year after the big big crash with jonas, but i must say that its impressive that jonas is in second place, and he had so hard with training.
But next year if jonas dont crash, and hes teamates isnt sick or dont crash then if u ask me then jonas will win tour de france 2025❤💪
And pogacar is very very strong this year and im proud of him too💪🔥
Hope u come stronger next year jonas
Love from denmark❤❤
Well done UAE - great teamwork and support of Tadej, good strategy and commitment from the entire team, especially after losing Aryuso early on.
Remember the days when we collectively weighed the merits of pedaling cadence as a race strategy? Yeah...I don't miss that either. Thank god for Tadej, Jonas, Remco, and Primoz (and others!) for lighting up bike racing with genuine passion and energy.
As much as I'd like an underdog to come through and win a stage there is just no denying Pog is one of the GOATS. A big modified bulldozer needs to drive through and take out those crowds too.
Some of the best cycling tactics I have ever seen
Nearly two minutes is going to be tough to overcome -- it's not over, but it might just be over.
Impeccable teamwork by UAE...👍
@2:11 why the hell did Jumbo make their special jerseys camouflage style????
Because it's not Jumbo-Visma anymore. It's Visma-Lease-a-bike. Jumbo stopped sponsoring sports, and the yellow is their trademark color.
@@JanneBernards What I mean is - why they made them blend in rather than stand out. A kit should be eye-catching, memorable, and bring attention to the sponsor. Their tour kit does nearly the opposite. Good examples are LIDL and EF.... The current Visma kit is super missable and forgettable
Did anyone else see that guy hit Pogi in the face with those chips and latter throw one at Jonas?
I’d love a course profile measured in caloric expenditure. Or wattage.
My top-2 were backwards today.
So Remco didn't have the balls to ride with Jonas again!?😂
But he is actually doing better than I expected, however just marginally better at climbing than the next half dozen climbers. He can win a GT though with only 2nd rate climbers due to his time trialing. But let's see in a see years...
I hope history proves Pogi is clean, he seems like a great young man and an amazing athlete.
jonas really needs sepp kuss pulling him up the mountains this year.
That was WAY impressive.^
I think the strategy was mainly to force Jorgenson to pull so that Yates doesn’t creep up on Jonas too much (otherwise he’d become a much more serious threat in week 3). And if Jorgenson pulls, he won’t be able to follow Pogi when he attacks - so Jonas doesn’t have someone to bring him over and has to do it himself.
Exactly what happened.
I’m a Jonas fan but chapeau to Tadej. If he wins Le Tour would love to see him go for The Vuelta but I imagine his legs will be shot. 🎉
Let’s gooooo
I like your reporting, but you didn't mention it when Yates and Pogacar passed Healey. That was an important bit of information that you let slide. Fortunately, the video coverage showed the event happen, so those who were interested in it recognized when it happened. But if we hadn't seen it, we would all be wondering where Healy was, and when is Pogacar going to catch Healey.
Let's goooo
A few days ago Tadej tried another breakaway but Jonas caught him and out dueled Tadej to the line -- looked like the advantage was shifting towards Jonas. Today Tadej tried another jump and this time it worked and with nearly two minutes on Jonas the tour is in Tadej's hands. It's still not over as there are days left in the mountains and minutes can change hands quickly in the mountains. At this point, however, I'd say Tadej has a 75% chance of winning with Jonas being about 25%, but again, this could change in the coming week.
Imagine all the products these aliens are on.
@rexmundi273 What sports (at any level) do you think are not on products?
@@barneybrightbart7080 None. Pogacar pulverised Armstrong's Pla D'Adet climb by 2 minutes.
Don't you know Pogis training plan, cheap lager beer, hyperbaric chambers and climbing staircases in Spain?
Working as a TEAM poweredr UAE on Top, Pogacar💪
Superb counter punch from Poggie. Long way from over but always felt the strength of UAE was going to beat Visma this year. Poggie should sit back now and just react. Not in his DNA but needs to consider it.
Pog and Team UAE were amazing, but I was most impressed with Nils Pull-it
Given UAE staff and their connection to doping, I'm hoping these other worldly performances by Tadej are clean. People question Jonas but somehow Tadej gets a pass? He's coming off a Giro and now in the Tour looks like he has energy to power an entire city. There is a reason why the Giro/Tour double has been so hard to win. We know that the last one to do it was doping. Slovenia has a bad history of doping so it would be a shame if he isn't clean.
Omg
💥I have each climb profile on my tablet as I watch each stage and I saw at 7.6km and 4.6km the final climb ramped up to over 12% so I KNEW Pogi would attack at 4.6km and that is the EXACT place he attacked!!! How was Jonas and Visma not ready for that😳?! I'm not a professional nor am I a sports director but I can predict PRECISELY where Pogi will attack on EVERY STAGE!!! I've NOT been wrong one single time. It blows my mind that Jonas and VISMA are not more prepared for these attacks. It's like they had no idea they are coming!!! They not only need to be prepared for these attacks but Jonas needs to attack FIRST so the only explanation for me is that Jonas isn't capable of going on the attack. He's just doing his best to minimize his losses!!!
As for Remco, I said he would NOT podium and he dropped a position in the overall today. He's now in 3rd. You would think he's pretty safe in 3rd because the 2 closest riders to him are 3m 39s and 3m 47s down on him but I think he is going to crack in the final week. Maybe even tomorrow so I stand by my prediction that Remco will NOT podium😉
🤘🏻🇬🇧
Netflix fanboys yesterday: "Why is Pogacar wasting energy sprinting? Jonas is gona smoke him tomorrow" lmao. Just kidding it's a good day for Jonas. 😅
4:47 interesting how much out of position remco evenepoel was when pogacar attacked.
smart he was on limit had shirt open for a k before that. Hes not racing tadej he was marking jonas a bit and maintaining white/podium I think. Hes trying not to loose much in mountains and do great ITT on stage 21. Even when yates went landa told hiirt no not there problem and matteo went to the front. Very good ride from remco hes doing incredible. Should be great last week
Pogi might have decided the Tour today. Tomorrow is the day we'll see it. If there is a day for Vingegaard and Visma to react it is tomorrow.
Before the Tour started I though Vingegaard could claw back 4-5 minutes from reaching the Pyrenees until Nice. But now he actually lost time on the first of those clawback stages, I think he needs to actually gain time on Pogi for tomorrow. The thing is, Vingegaard loses 2 minutes.
It's not over yet, the queen stage is still infront of them and they will need to climb to 2800m
@@robert-gq5thThere is no one to carry Jonas up there. The race from now on will be controlled and dictated by UAE.
@@AtomikGround One of the hypothesis, at least it was considered in the Brazilian broadcasting, is that Visma could approach these weekend stages as a single one, taking it easy today in order to attack tommorrow. Let's see!
@@tonyg3091 I don't think it matters, but also he has Jorgenson. They will let UAE pull and attack when all of them are done
Awesome plan and kudos to uae
Adam Yates or Adam Jates?
Everything working weel to Jonas catch Pogačar at 4th week
Amazing ride by Pogacar. He”s not a good bullshit artist though - Yates didn’t attack, planned 100%.
It was quit cold, was that an advantage for the bigger rider today?
Yes
@@5508Vanderdekken let's see what happens in the alps when it is warmer
Go Lance!
Struggling to identify riders in the peloton in a pet peeve of mine as well. The numbers at the bottom of the jerseys are out of date. We need surnames at the tops of the jerseys like other sports.
CO kit worked?
pog is better at the shorter bursts than those long attacks
I mean he won bianchi with a 80km attack
@@karl8805 yh I dont say he's bad at it, but I mean he's better at short bursts than vingegaard where as longer efforts they have been more equal.
5:27 A what? Since when do we use freedom units on this channel, thought that was reserved for the pod only
That UAE Team is TOO DAMN GOOD!
The weather is on Pogs side, all his bad days I remember were in heat and contrary to what the clown media tell you it's NOT hot currently, only 20°C today (probably even less on the summit).
Yes. No one has mentioned that so far Pogi has been lucky with the heat.
Tomorrow is supposed to be 10c hotter I think
There are still some strong stages for Jonas coming up ahead. If Pog stays strong through those, I’ll then be convinced.
Why doesn't the World Tour simply offer jersey colours on a first come first serve basis. You send your proposal, they say yes or no. You have until the start of the giro or you're going in brown.
Where were Jonas's domestiques to help him? Pogi will wipe the floor with him unless he gets better support from his team. Or maybe TVL are planning a big steal of time on another stage, so this was just managing the gap and saving energy for a prime stage to exert advantage later on. Mind you, there wasn't much anyone could do against a UAE masterclass.
The same Visma did to Pogi last year...
Visma mountain domestiques are at home with COVID or injuries.
UAE is doing to Jonas what Jumbo did to Pog twice.
@@LadyBird-n2t Not really, Jonas didn't blow up like Pogi last year. Also, Pogi pretty much made the gap on his own with just a bit of help from Adam Yates. Both are great GC riders, but looks like Pogi has the bit between the teeth and TVL support to Jonas os far less than last year: no Kuss and no Roglic is going to have an impact, not to mention Jonas's terrible crash in Pais Vasco. So the two years don't compare really.
@markdonovan1540 pog blew up last year because he races a full season..
Not just 1 race with a stacked team.
And pog didnt prep last year due to his crash.
Lets be hinest, 100% fit jonas wouldnt be in a diffrrent situation to now..
Pogs on another level this year
Respect Tadej 👍😍
Not normal
@mb10kx What high level sports are "normal"?
