Of course they need to include one of those 3 guys already there and IMO they should do it with Del Toro because that is only scenario, where he will be good positioned before Cipressa. Del Toro should be able to survive from Berta to Cipressa even if he goes all in at Berta. The other thing you...
He can rely only on strenght because it worked (he didn't win but it worked like never before at Cipressa). He didn't cracked only MvDP because MVDP is perfect rider for MSR and would win against Pogi in 90% (we will se if 100%) cases, if some bad luck doesn't happen. His only possibilty to be...
That makes more sense than ever. I hope he wins P-N, Catalyuna and Giro this year. After that he just need to win Romandie and Suisse and he made it all what some GT rider can dream of.
UAE managers don't deserve that praise. They still need to win something big without Pogacar. Even without Pogacar's salary they would have biggest budget. Till last year Almeida won nothing worth mentioning. He also won Romandie, Basque and Suisse with no real competition. I am glad he won...
After watching Tadej’s entire interview, which gives a completely different feeling than just reading an article, I’m even more convinced that he’s a pure cycling fanatic and that his schedule will always be unpredictable. This forum focuses only on how his schedule will affect the TdF, even...
Race is not owned from any "big players". Also having street closed in switzerland for cycling is not cheap and they don't need any more marketing for their country (+there is also Tour of Romandie).
That is true BUT there was always good reason why he skipped it. Last 2 years he really had perfect WC route and year before he crashed at LBL and was really empty after TdF. Also why fight with Jonas at Vuelta, without Jonas that is 50% easier to win. I wrote schedule as...
I am disappointed because i find Remco as super interesting rider and fun to watch at one day classics. I guess it makes sense to go after TdF now since he should be in his prime.
The worst possible way to be malicious while staying unpunished is through this kind of gossip. Tadej has a huge number of fans, but also plenty of people who can’t wait for his downfall to begin, and this kind of rumor is the best possible tool for such people. Using a close person in a rumor...
So with not much going rn, what is some controversial schedule you would want Pogi doing this year? Mine would be :
TDU, Omloop, MSR, E3, RVV, P-R, Giro, San Sebastian, Vuelta, WC, EC, GDL
or
SB,MSR, Basque, LBL,Romandie, Giro, Vuelta,WC, EC, GdL.
I just want them to talk about anything because otherwise is sooo boring in offseason. Like this thread, it lives because of you and i am so grateful for your takes even if i don't agree with them but you are always making conversation going. They need some big event in offseason- i think...
Probably i am just biased but i really got a felling every race DS just want Pogacar and don't really care about anyone else. Vuelta bringing him race literally home is crazy.,If those 9km TT is somewhat uphill(as stage 21 at TdF 2024) then they are literally begging him.
