Do you feel that Pogacar gets an easy time from the press?? Has he ever had a journalist like Kimmage face up to him with a direct question like 'Your climbing times are lightyears ahead of men who were convicted dopers, do you see how people might be suspicious?' Like him or not, Armstrong...

I predict Pog will finish his career with 10 GTs 6 Tours, 2 Giro, 2 Vuelta 17 monuments 7 Lombardia, 5 Liege, 3 Flanders, 1 MSR, 1 PR This will put him very close to status of GOAT.

You're right.... you just never know. I hope he does win it. I'm tired of Pog breaking everyone's spirits.

Anyone else targeting Liege will be aiming for 2nd. I know Remco is brilliant on such a course. The man has won it twice and in a dominant fashion. But I just don't see him beating Pogi. Unfortunately. Even if Remco gets away from everyone, Pogi will still follow and beat him in the two man...

Is Pogačar doing Liege??

Delighted to see Quintana do pretty well. He has been climbing decently this week and finished alongside Carapaz today. Could potentially still win a GT stage from a breakaway if the opportunity comes.

Does anyone feel like this is a pretty tame route?? Remco could definitely have won if he came here.

Probably his motor

Will Pogi win MSR?

Your opinion is clear? But you don't state your opinion.

Just looking back at some performances from 2025 and I can't get the ride of Pogacar at Fleche Wallone. The race was nicely poised with 500m to go. About 8-10 riders were in a small group at the front. Pidcock makes a move with 500m to go. Pogi locks onto his wheel and then with 450m left Pogi...

It was just something I was always curious about. Whereas Formigal in Spain always produces much more carnage despite the fact its gradients are very tepid on paper. I always felt that Station de Rousses and Col de la Lusette/Mont Aigoual should create a bit more damage as their profiles have...

I have a query about Mt Etna in the Giro. On paper, it is a tough Category 1 climb. 17km long @6.5% and 1900m in elevation. Yet the gaps on the climb are very minimal. We often see 10+ riders battling out the finish. Is there a reason for this when I often see lesser climbs produce more damage??

If Pogacar turns up for the next two years without crashing out, he will win in 2026 ad 2027. I think he may start to drop off from his insane peak and rising stars will be in with a real chance in 2028. It may be the case that we witness a small decline this year but he will still be too much...

Apologies if the word fanboy hurts you or others. I won't use that word again. I myself am a Remco fan. I follow his races with intrigue and always hope he does well. My initial question relates to the 'reason' (not excuse) of Remco underperforming because of a lack of altitude training and...
