To old to have heard about him 👍

That would be hilarious. I would even start to like him if that happens 🤣

What? More like the John McEnroe of cycling…

Where did you get that from? Pretty sure that Pog needs to be totally incapacitated before saying no to another shot at RVV. Don’t believe for a second that he even considers choosing. He can race every Monument and with a very high probability win each.

Yes not many sprinters have won or been closer to winning. Tim Merlier a couple of years back but I guess it was a sprint from the bunch behind? Thumbs up for Van Aert. Deserves a win!

Now you're making things up. I'm convinced rain will even the odds, yet the odds are still with Pog on RVV and I'll give it to you that RVV isn't that technical. Wet also makes for a slower race and different sorts of mistakes. Paris Roubaix is another story. A real slippery and wet PR will...

Not "possible or likely" but "definitely". Outcome we will still never know...

I'm also wishing for wet races, both at RVV and at P-R. Then technique becomes a decisive factor. We'll see how good Pog is. I'm pretty sure he's good but is he that good? Then also the surprise factor. Anyone can make a mistake and that makes a race more interesting in my view. MVDP in Glasgow...

Why? I'd say it would favor MVDP and WVA. You have to be careful everywhere so power relative to technique changes.

I’m pretty sure that peak De Vlaeminck would have had his b@tt seriously whooped by juniors WVA and MVDP in cyclocross.

I don’t believe that but the ITT WC doesn’t seem to be a priority so hence not very likely that Pog will challenge Remco. But can he do it? Most likely.

I truly prefer specialists and that different types of races produce different types of winners. Should Pogacar go on to win all of the Monuments plus WC plus TdF this season it’s firstly a degrading of all of the other riders physical abilities as it’s a pure power play. Not that he’s an...

Hope you’re right and MVDP definitely looked cooked at the descent from Cipressa. He was having a hard time even drafting

Unfortunately I have to agree. Unless MVDP had a really crappy day or was more affected by the crash than what the cameras showed he is clearly off by quite many percentage in power. He still is exceptional on off road and cobbles but Pog outweighs that advantage by supreme power. He looks...

Many were writing up MVDP for MSR but his wins at TIrreno looked nothing like Tadej’s win at Strade. It’s going to be hard to win P-R but not impossible. Vlandern is near impossible so this is not looking good. Not for MVDP but equally not for anyone else either apart from Pog.
