The former best climber in the Tour de France, Thomas Voeckler, strongly criticized Nils Pollit, teammate of Tadej Pogacar at Uae Team Emirates, for having prevented other runners from attacking.
If Nils Pollit gives himself a vacation after the Tour de France, he will surely not spend them with Thomas Voeckler. The latter, winner of the pea jersey for best climber on the big loop in 2012, criticized the German runner from UAE Team Emirates, Tuesday during the 16th stage of the 2025 Tour. In question: Pollit’s efforts to brake the rhythm of the peloton.
“I hate runners who, on the pretext that they are stronger or that they have bigger training, want to do their own law”viturated Voeckler on the antennas of France Télévisions. “Nils Pollit, not so long ago, he was in a hassle in the mountain scoundrels, he would have been very happy to integrate escapes. You must not have short memory, and it can go very quickly in the bicycle ”continued the former French runner.
