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.

That (Giro-Vuelta) would be pretty nice actually. But only if he doesn't skip P-R and RVV. And i don't see how is that possible.

Why do you take everything out of context? "Crazy bad", "try" and so on. Yes "try" at this point, i can't write "win it" since it was 3 years ago last time he won against Pogacar at one day race. I think at this point winning (if miracle happens) one more LBL doesn't change much but winning Giro...

Yes i did use term "crazy bad", and of course i didn't mean it like insult but crazy bad for Remco. He probably doesn't even care about those races but maybe that is problem. We have seen him how good he can climb when he is all in. So i think schedule like T-A, Romandie,Giro for one year would...

You want to tell me Remco's caliber of rider should be ok with this? He won only Vuelta and UAE tour that are worth of mention and i feel sick to throw that UAE win as his "major stage race wins ". His Vuelta win and 3rd place at TdF are only things why we think he could be great at GT racing...

And you confuse Pogacar with standard riders. He was in crazy form already at Dauphine and nobody excepted him being so good after heavy spring schedule.

He doesn't need to test himself anymore. At Dauphine started that narrative this year how boring everything is with Pogi winning everything. He looked really annoyed at Dauphine and if you have in mind he rode it just 2 times in career, that means something. I think this year he proved he is not...

We don't really know what his goals are. Eventually Real goal could be LBL, Giro, TdF (at least yellow jersey), WC TT+RR and Lombardy. He should also start winning some one week stage races. He won Vuelta, UAE tour and was 3rd TdF but other then that he is crazy bad at stage races. He could...

Politt was bad this year?? I mean i get it for Yates, Sivakov and Soler but Politt? Anyway-Politt,Wellens, Narvaez, Soler, Vine,Del Toro, Almeida, Pogi would be my dream team. Yates, Sivakov, Novak and Mcnulty will be there for Pogi at Vuelta...

Just saying he will do Dauphine again is wrong. He hinted it already he wants just ticked it and that is it. He will rather ride tour of Slovenia if he needs preparation race. But tdSuisse looks easy choice for next year.

What Matxin said is pretty irrelevant. He was also saying in last week of TdF that Pogi is going to ride Vuelta.. Pogi this year was injured, sick at the end of TdF. He needed to be mentally at 100% for racing against Jonas again. This year i had a feeling at UAE and Dauphine that he wasn't...

Del Toro will be great domestique for Pogacar in next two-three years but i have doubts he will be GT winner in near future. At giro he was extremly lucky with Ayuso, Roglic even Landa all had crashes/illnes+ Jonas, Remco, Almeida, Lipowitz not being there. Carapaz and Yates being on podium is...

According to Pogacar ( i mean he is probably the best source) he will care about MSR and P-R more than anything next year. There is no way he is riding Giro. Jonas will go there, probably Almeida+Del Toro and Remco. Pogacar goes to Vuelta next year, without real competition. He doesn't need to...

Exactly, that is argument i was waiting for, since everybody is saying that OG gold (!!)means something special, even though that never meant anything in cycling. The same goes for RR and TT difference (as you said it). So if it is about OG then gold should be equal if you got on TT or RR, but...
