    I already think with his improvement in his absolute power this year, he has already closed the 16 secs he missed to beat evenepoel in the 30 km flat TT at last years tour but I might be wrong.

    I don’t know whats wrong in admitting someone’s greatness/potential especially when he is performing at such a young age. He finished more than a minute ahead of pidcock, jorgenson & 2+ minutes ahead of Ben healy on strade & this guys are Liege Bastogne liege materials. Undermining such a...

    It’s not just the eye test, the numbers speak for themselves. 7.4w/kg for 16 minutes with 40km still to go + 330 watts for 80 kms at strade( what pog averaged in 2024&2025 strade)🥶 seixas a kilo or 2 less than pog

    This winter seixas has improved like no one else in the history of the sport as of my knowledge. In faune ardeche his performances were exceptional( he put 2 minutes on a relaying group of jorgenson, Lenny martinez & Jan chiristen after attacking 45 km from the finish + what he did at strade...

    When you see seixas reaching pogs ftp of 2025 in a single winter you would think everything is possible this days…

    Good analysis, I think Y1 could save at least 30 secs in this flat race plus, people are getting carried away with the gap at the finish being big. Pog had to ride 20kms with a spare bike which was braking in its front wheel. That killed his legs as he said to vermersch at the finish + the 24...

    I think this “regain muscle matching previous tour levels” was nonsense PR play from visma & ving. His San Luca & Galibier accelerations at 2024 tour were his highest ever accelerations & you can refer pogs comments afterwards which he said at sanluca climb he broke his 5 minute power & that...

    I don’t know why this bulking up thing is messing around atm. Vingegaard was a lot heavier in 2025 tdf(this are his quotes at the start of tdf last year) compared to the past years & he said the gains were focused on muscles & not on getting fats. It’s not like pogacar is gaining 4 or 5 kilos. 2...

    Ofc I would also bet on vdp for a sprint. But I was talking about in terms of levels, which imo they were equal in roubaix or in other words wouldn’t have dropped each other

    Well I’m not sure about that “heavy” adjective. Last year they were equal in roubaix & if not for pogs crash it could have been a nail biting final.

    He might not have that luxury of vdp working anymore + there will be more chaos by the 2nd tier riders from 2nd kwaremont to the last one in the hope of exposing pog. There is only a small chance of the same scenario as last year is happening.
