I wouldn't say this Worlds route suits him perfectly but I swear if he skips Worlds 2027....

Obvious ragebait but yeah Pogi easily dealt with "best climbing performance" Vingegaard.

https://www.procyclingstats.com/race/world-championship/2025/result/info/profiles That has the profile of the whole route and the climbs.

I confidently give it close to zero chance he retires in 2028. It's not even a certainty that route will suit him perfectly. I think he'll have one more contract extension then maybe retire at around 35 years old.

Don't really care about the "all time" talks just cause I think it's hard to compare eras.

So looks like from this, he won't go to Tre Valli then. It's Canada - WC ITT and RR - EC RR - Lombardia as his schedule for the rest of the season.

No Wellens in the Belgian Worlds team is a massive surprise. In top shape, he'll be Remco's best domestique along with Campanearts if there's no Wout. That's actually rough for Slovenia. At this point, Pogi might just have to go on a 100+ km solo from Mount Kigali and hope that G2 syndrome...

Will be hard to drop Wout imo if he's in good shape. If Pog is not able to drop Wout, the only way he wins the sprint is if Wout goes over his limit following Pog and is not able to sufficiently recover.

I really hope Pog doesn't have to go to UAE Tour again. Won that thrice already. Like surely Almeida, Del Toro, or Ayuso have the capabilities to clean that race up. It is a slightly harder circuit this year. 2 laps longer and they replaced the main climb with a 375 m 10% climb with the climb...

The thing is, next year, Pogi might want to optimally prepare for the Worlds so Vuelta is probably unlikely again, especially with Pogi going for a heavy spring classics campaign like this year. Also, if he wants to add one of the seven big 1-week stage races to his palmares, Suisse is probably...

He started working when Novak was done a few kilometers before Pogi went on his first attack.

It is. That is why even if multiple sources say Pogi is not doing Vuelta, I'm still holding onto a bit of hope that Pogi will go to Spain, even if it could compromise Worlds.

Fair. But I wonder what will be his warm up then before Worlds

I think he'll do Quebec and Montreal, like last year. I think his schedule for the rest of the year is: Quebec Montreal Worlds TT Worlds RR Emilia Tre Valli Lombardia

The Tour should now alternate between the traditional Champs circuit and the Montmartre circuit.
