    Teams & Riders Tadej Pogačar discussion thread

    Before he tries at sprint he needs to try at least one time already on Berta with Del Toro and Narvaez. If there 15-20 riders at begining of Cipresa those two can do great lead out. If they try that and Tadej still doesn't win.. then that is it.

    Without SB, he can peak 2 weeks later. E3 is because he normally does preparation races, but this year he didn't race nothing before RVV and still won, so you could be right.

    No, it is not, it is similar but with less climbing.

    Teams & Riders Tadej Pogačar discussion thread

    With his schedule it is also important to take into account what can he even do to prepare himself better to be better at them. For example i don't see how any race can truly prepare him for MSR, also really hard to prepare for next year WC. 3200m climbing at 270km long distance it will not be...

    He won all big RR (Vuelta,LBL 2X, OGRR) except WC when Pogacar was out. It is reasonable to think that Pogacar wouls win at least 3 of those races if not all 4) so don't start with "Pogacar has had some good fortune...". Tell me one RR where Remco would be favourite over Pogacar, just one?

    After seeing Del Toro punch i really think they need to attack with him and Narvaez already on Berta next year at MSR. And with Del Toro+Almeida that will be such cheat code at TdF.

    Teams & Riders The Remco Evenepoel is the next Eddy Merckx thread

    So he was NEVER dropped against MvDP at RVV, NEVER dropped at GdL and he was NEVER dropped at LBL. Not even once... we have never seen that. Since 2021(!!!) on those races we have never seen it. We have also NEVER seen Remco outsprinting Pogacar. But somehow that would happen exactly in those...

    Teams & Riders The Remco Evenepoel is the next Eddy Merckx thread

    He cooked him but finished behind him? Why was he 1 min behind Pogacar in middle of the race? Why does he always need someone to help him catch Pogacar? Like this year at Amstel, WC and EC, if he is able to drop him on flat, why doesn't he catch him alone? And what was the result him going all...

    Teams & Riders The Remco Evenepoel is the next Eddy Merckx thread

    Uff, i can't believe somebody could put it like that. In 2022 he was 4th at Flanders but because he really f.ked up finish. He was already there with MvDP. Also he won Lombardia. Those preparation races when he lost (that is all what they are for him) are totally irelevant. Reality is he was...

    Teams & Riders The Remco Evenepoel is the next Eddy Merckx thread

    I am also not fan of Remco avoiding Pogacar but when was he really a problem for Pogacar in terms of "reach the amount of wins Merckx had"?. He won 2 LBL because Pogacar DNF. Other than that he is not really Pogacar's problem. "Avoiding" is only in disscusion because of Remco. He is clear number...

    Teams & Riders The Remco Evenepoel is the next Eddy Merckx thread

    No he can't. Cobbles in a peloton with a Remco's history of injuries and his terrible positioning that would be really bad. Almost same goes for Flanders. Remco should do T-A (better for him than P-N), Amstel, LBL and Giro. After that TdF-WC-EC-GdL.

    Teams & Riders Tadej Pogačar discussion thread

    It is weird that Remco and Pogacar never came together to finish (i mean just two of them). Or even not just to finish but were never alone. I always wonder how would they work together. Remco has such a weird engine, he was dropped at Worlds when he won and also Olimpics, he was dropped at...

    Teams & Riders Tadej Pogačar discussion thread

    Wrong thread but just one question, if there is no Pog, Remco wins ECITT, ECRR, WCITT and WCRR in two weeks, every time with huge gap even with multiple mechanicals. Also with breaks 30km+. It's that more believable for you? And he is not part of UAE.. how do you explain that?

    Teams & Riders Tadej Pogačar discussion thread

    Jonas was sick first week of Vuelta 23 and also after that clearly not himself. He lost first ITT against Kuss(!!) and pretty badly against Roglic. Then he was allowed to attack because everybody in his family and all friends had birthdays. Roglic was already one minute in front of him at GC and...

    Is Roglic past his prime?

    No, he is still ok. That Giro crashes and illness were just terrible for him. He looked really good at Catalyuna, at Algarve Jonas couldn't distance himself from Roglic and first week in Giro he looked like strongest guy. On ITT (13km) he lost just one second against Tarling. For example he was...
