What is that comparison based on? Not necessarily disagreeing that Pogacar is favourite, but the way I see it they haven’t raced each other properly in the Tour for the last two years. Pogacar had a fractured wrist and then Vingegaard punctured both his lungs. In both cases, the other clearly had a massive advantage over the 3 weeks and won quite easily.
Mostly Dauphine, i think it showed that Pogacar is ahead. Not by much but still. I hope Vingegaard rides a great Tour, because otherwise it will get boring.
Pogacar is a better all-around GC rider, but I do have doubts as to whether he is the better high mountains climber in a Grand Tour. And if Vingegaard is slightly better there, maybe that’s the difference that will matter at the end. I really need to see the mountain showdown this year to make up my mind, I can’t really separate them at the moment!
