    I agree with you 100%. He was indeed lucky in few one day races. I would say WC 24 is the most obvious one. Also i think there were maybe two races where he would get caught but would still win in a sprint. On the other side nobody really knows how strong and how much engine does he have AFTER...

    Seixas is amazing and i love seeing another alien in the peloton. Still i think he is unlucky that he is in the same era as Pogi and not other way around. This and next year maybe he will win something against Pogi but not much. Also i don't believe he will be to close at TdF against Pogi nor...

    There will be always people like you, who will find some argument even for most obvious things. Messi was the GOAT even before he won WC with Argentina. I don't like Messi and i will always be Cristiano fan, but he was so much better than everybody else and everybody could see it. He won that WC...

    Of course Pogacar is the GOAT. I remember Lance winning his 6 TdF everybody was saying he is the GOAT. Nobody even mentioned Merckx. If that was Remco with Pogacar's palmares there would be no doubt. Pogacar is a little bit unlucky he is from small Slovenia. No somehow everybody is mentioning...

    I have a feeling, a lot of "fans" are not satisfied with P-R result and are totally depressed about it. After first two monuments i was already extremly satisfied because he already saved his spring season. He was lucky at MSR and P-R(he almost badly crashed) that there are no injuries. I don't...

    So after seeing this race with Pog 2 years in a row who are his main opponents; only MvDP and Wout. That is it !!! Pedersen was weaker this year as he was last year. If there is no one next two years (i don't see anyone close) to Wout, MvDP and Pogi than is obvious Pogi has a great chance to win...

    I think Pogi looks much better in flat sections and the same as last year on small climbs. He sure added some weight. He was racing so much more in a wind at RVV (i was totally confused) he was pulling 20 riders even though Vermeeesh was there. After that he was pulling MvDP almost all the time...

    Seixas was stronger at SB also Del Toro still never showed anything specual at races 250km+. So why would you as a tem risk going there with Del Toro and with him having 20% to win it, if you can go with a guy where chances are 85%+?

    I like Seixas and am pretty sure he will be big problem for Pogi in like two years. It is also good thing for Pogi, Seixas being so good but so young-so at least French people will stop with doping accusations. I mean you can't say anything against Pog, if there is a teenager who is already...

    I really have a feeling MvDP is getting underestimated rn. He won Omloop and E3 with big long attacks and this is a fact. He won 2 stages at T-A and because of MSR everybody is thinking, he is worse than year before. He still crashed there and at E3 i didn't see sign of physical or mental...

    Everything could compromise all of these goals.. you are overcomplicating-when it is about Pogacar, he is just different. I get why he skipped Vuelta last year, but if TdF 2026 go without a ilness/crash and he needs to deal at Vuelta only with Roglic and not Jonas, he will do it. EC was never...

    Teams & Riders Tadej Pogačar discussion thread

    I believe strongly he will go to Vuelta already this year. We will see after Romandie how strong Pogi is without any GT preparation at all. Roglic will also be at Romandie and he would be his ONLY opponent at Vuelta. He could win this year Vuelta with ease and there is no guarantee to win it...

    1. Great win, i think i saw him so happy only after first RVV win and first WC win. 2. I am humbled because of Mcnulty, i was never a fan, no he is my second favourite rider. 3. Pogi still crashed, i wouldn't be so sure RVV is already sure thing. 4. Him never coming back to MSR would be disaster...

    I am Pogi fan because he was/is doing ridiculous things so i hope UAE tries something on Berta. If it doesn't work it will not be end of the world but i don't see Pogi attacking again on Cipressa like last year. Maybe Del Toro will try to create small group there but that is all till Poggio. So...

    There is no way Pogi not racing LBL. He is in his prime and every monument is important right now. Del Toro is great but Remco and Seixas are even better for LBL so UAE will not risk it. In maybe two years Seixas could be even stronger than Pogacar so it would be incredibly stupid to skip it. I...
