🚨 SHOCKING VIDEO RELEASED: POGAČAR FOULS VINGEGAARD IN STAGE 11 CHAOS, LEAVING CYCLING WORLD DIVIDED
The world of professional cycling was thrown into turmoil after the ASO, organizers of the Tour de France, publicly released a controversial video exposing a foul committed by Tadej PogaÄŤar, 26, during the dramatic final moments of Stage 11. The footage clearly shows the Slovenian rider obstructing Jonas Vingegaard, disrupting his sprint as he attempted to accelerate during the crucial last kilometer of the stage. The incident has sparked outrage, with fans flooding social media to express anger, confusion, and fierce loyalty to their respective heroes.
In the video, which has now gone viral across platforms like X (formerly Twitter), Instagram, and Facebook, PogaÄŤar can be seen shifting slightly to his left as Vingegaard makes his move. What initially looked like a minor racing incident quickly turned into a storm of accusations after the slow-motion replay revealed clear contact that altered the race’s outcome. According to ASO officials, the decision to release the video was made to ensure transparency after intense rumors spread backstage among team managers, journalists, and riders.
The fallout was immediate. Jonas Vingegaard, a two-time Tour de France winner, was later seen being treated by team doctors, his team confirming that he would temporarily step away from racing to recover from the incident. While the extent of his injuries remains unclear, sources close to Team Visma-Lease a Bike hinted that Vingegaard is likely to miss several stages, possibly even withdrawing from the Tour altogether if his condition does not improve.
The cycling community is now bitterly divided. Fans of Jonas Vingegaard are livid, calling the move a “career-threatening foul”, while PogaÄŤar’s supporters are rushing to defend him, arguing that sprint finishes are chaotic by nature and that no deliberate foul play was intended. The debate has taken over the comments section of every major cycling outlet, with hashtags like #VingegaardJustice, #PogacarControversy, and #TourDeFranceDrama trending worldwide.
Former cyclists and analysts have weighed in. Some call for PogaÄŤar to be penalized, while others remind the public that Tour de France history is full of close-contact finishes and that moments like these are part of the sport’s brutal reality. Cycling legend Bernard Hinault, known for his no-nonsense style, gave a blunt interview saying, “This is racing, but there are lines you don’t cross. Today, I believe PogaÄŤar crossed one.” On the other hand, Spanish veteran Alberto Contador defended the young Slovenian, insisting the chaos of Stage 11 made incidents like this almost unavoidable.
Meanwhile, PogaÄŤar has yet to make a full statement regarding the incident. In a brief post-stage interview, he appeared calm and even smiled when asked about the contact, simply saying, “It was a hectic sprint. That’s racing.” His team, UAE Team Emirates, has refused to issue further comments, fueling even more speculation and conspiracy theories from fans.
The Tour de France is no stranger to drama, but this controversy has ignited one of the fiercest fan battles in recent memory. With Vingegaard’s future in the race uncertain and PogaÄŤar’s reputation hanging in the balance, the cycling world watches anxiously. Will the organizers take further action? Will PogaÄŤar face a penalty? Or will this moment simply go down in history as another brutal chapter in the Tour’s legendary rivalries?
For now, the only certainty is that Stage 11 has become a viral flashpoint, and the Tour de France 2025 may never be the same again.
