After him saying yesterday, he is happy with this Dauphine win because it is another "check" in checklist i believe, he wants to win everything at least one time. He will go after Giro-Tour or Giro-Vuelta at least one more time so in that year he can "check" Basque Tour. If he really wins...

Yes you are right, it is probably in his contract. They (UAE) also can't win any important race (5 monuments, 3 GTs or WC/OG) without Pogi (at least last 6 years they couldn't).

I believe Pogi could really use one year to take a break from TdF. Doing classics season without thinking about TdF or trying Giro-Vuelta would be really good for him.

I still don't know how do you expect Pogacar being in best shape possible through TdF-Vuelta- WC- Lombardia?? And than also being in great shape one month before TdF? The same thing in Spring from UAE tour-LBL? He knows how to get better and what his goals are and he showed that already many...

I have a mixed feeling about Del Toro right now. I saw him as loyal guy but know they were some races this year when he raced for himself and did great but when he needed to do something for other it didn't go quite well (MSR for example, this Giro also already three weird situations). I like...

Don’t exaggerate. On the gravel stage, he followed Pogacar only at the end (after Pogacar’s fifth attack), not before. When Remco and Tadej tried to break away, Jonas bridged the gap by himself. Jorgenson is good, but it’s not true that we don’t know what he’s capable of. I actually thought he’d...

Crazy stats: Since Tadej Pogačar joined UAE Team in 2019, there have been 81 major races — including all Grand Tours (18X), Monuments(34X), Big classics (Strade Bianche, Amstel Gold Race, La Flèche Wallonne)21X, World Championships(6X), and the Olympic road races (2X). Across all of them, not...

Vindegaard is legend because he won against GOAT(2X). This alone made him legend.Just those 2 wins are already comparable with Froome palmares. Nibali won all 3 GTs and now he is somehow legend and Roglic not? Yeah sure. Just imagine someone saying Mohoric is MSR legend and Pogacar not, even...

Just amazing how i agree with you on Tadej's takes but disagree with takes about Roglic. Literally everything what you wrote about Jonas could be said for Roglic too. And i do also think Tadej and Jonas are the best GC riders ever talent-wise, that is also reason why i think Roglic is just crazy...

I can’t believe you write such contradictory comments. You constantly mention defeats against Nibali and Froome, even though that was when Roglič had just started his real cycling career. And even in that Giro, he crashed and got sick in the middle of it. That’s like comparing Pogačar’s loss at...

I agree that the gap is getting bigger, especially in one-day races—without crashes, Pogacar probably wins 10 out of 10. Still, I don’t believe the difference between them is as obvious as it was last year. Roglic came to the Tour de France injured, and even before the Dauphiné, his preparation...

Not true. 2018/19/20 he was crazy agressive, amazing and atraktive ride at tdF 2018 when he finished 4 (everybody forgot that), giro 2019 he crashed and was sick, giro 23 he crashed so he needed to adapt to win. TdF 2020 like I said he crashed before. Actually when he rode at P-N 2020 (he...

1)You forgot to mention Roglic crash before TDF (it was not even 100% he will start. 2)Tadej "didn't" have a team but was allowed to ride with Visma because they didn't see him as a problem. 3)He lost time on a stage with echelons, but was allowed to get time back(vs.Roglic) when he went and...

That was not Roglic at his best shape ever. He crashed on Dauphine 3 weeks before TdF, that was also the reason, why he rode pretty conservative-just to win yellow. He never in millions years excepted Pogi could ride ITT like that(nobody could). I still think, he was easily stronger than Tadej...

I find it funny how much comments i read "Jonas being great teammate because how he let Kuss win and prevented Roglic winning". Roglic was whole minute in front of him and then he was forced to let Jonas who wanted to win for NVH (didn't gain enough) and after that his daughters birthsday. Of...
