US Edition'Now Maybe I'm Scared' – Tadej Pogačar Impressed by GC Rivals Despite Success on Explosive Critérium Du Dauphiné Opener
- Tadej Pogačar claimed victory on the stage and moved into the overall lead after Jonas Vingegaard launched an attack on the final climb of Côte de Buffon less than 7 kilometers from the finish.
- No one had planned a general classification battle for this stage, but the early terrain and Vingegaard's move triggered a reassessment of the race dynamics.
- The day marked the first time this year that Pogačar, Vingegaard, and Evenepoel met face-to-face since sharing the top three spots at the Tour de France in Nice the previous July, increasing expectations for their performance.
- Pogačar admitted that he didn’t launch any attacks and mainly focused on staying with the lead group throughout the race. Reflecting on his rivals, he noted with a wry smile that everyone appeared to be in excellent shape.
- Pogačar suggested the rising competition and honest form of rivals mean he can "be scared a little bit" while balancing pressure with relief amid a perfect season so far.
