    Teams & Riders Tadej Pogačar discussion thread

    Gianetti stated that the difficulty of the double is one of the main reasons that motivated both the Slovenian rider and the team: "if we don't try, we won't be able to see if it's possible or not," to which he added that "for Tadej it was interesting to take on this challenge, because he likes...

    No man, he did 6.77 w/kg for 17 mins on oropa while in Catalonia 6.66 w/kg(adj to sea level) for 32 mins on valter. His form is improving by the days though

    Pogs double attempt is looking the most feasible attempt I've seen in recent history. It seems an AI driven plan. There is a famous saying 'u cant hold ur top form for more than a month' his coaches seem to plan for it accordingly. He is not even on his Catalonia form let alone last years tour...

    Although i agree that jonas' last year TT was amazing, its quite ridiculous to compare the time gaps with yesterday's pogi performance. Last year there was a 1.3 km 9% climb at the beginning and technical downhill a bit of flat then 2.5 km 9.5% with 3.5 km 5%. Its a lot more uphill than...

    Some guys think pog should have beaten ganna by a minute today if he is to win against top vingegaard. One thing they dont understand is, pog is cruising in this race and just doing enough to win. What is the point in giving ur absolute best when u doesnt need to? If it was at the tour he would...

    We're lucky to have martinez in the race who looks to be in his algarve shape. At least there is a race.

    Giro d'Italia Giro d’Italia 2024, Stage 7: Foligno – Perugia, 40.6k (ITT)

    Bjerg was controlling as well as pulling at the front almost half the stage yesterday. Pogacar should beat this by 30+ secs

    Giro d'Italia Giro d’Italia 2024, Stage 6, Torre del Lago Puccini (Viareggio) – Rapolano Terme, 180km

    Ineos tactics: weaken pogacar by riding hard each stage so that we have a chance to podium or even win the tour 😜😅

    He wont. Like oconer who said he learned his lessons & will never get close to pogi again when he attacks

    Giro d'Italia Giro d‘Italia 2024 Stage 3, Novara-Fossano, 166 km

    I thought for some time that he was attacking for bonus seconds in the tour coz of fear of vingegaard in the mountains but my oh my i was dumb this guy is a real entertainer

    Some guys on this thread should calm down. Pogi is just not at his absolute peak form this giro and he doesn't need to. If he was on his last years tour stage 6 onwards form he would take close to a minute today. Its understandable from the teams decision to build into this giro and peak for the...

    The right question would be could narvez follow pog on la roudute if he was there? Which i really doubt. Starting grand tours is a bit different...Today was about opening the legs. pogs form should be judged from tomorrow on

    I dont think martxin is that smart. Just refer to his san remo tactics. He could even tell u targeted stages and domestic orders
