2022 Canadian WT Races - September 9th + September 11th

[Volderke]

Guys just remember that Van Aert is a better and more verstatile rider than Pogacar

I don't think so!


(I know you were sarcastic )

 

[Blanco]

Wout van 2nd at it again.
Pogacar World champ in 2 weeks?

No, but he'll beat Van Aert there too...

 

[Sciatic]

And of course he finished last in the group

 

[Eeslliw]

No, but he'll beat Van Aert there too...

Who will win it?

 

[Netserk]

So Pogi will end as the most successful classics rider for the second year in a row?

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Considering the way this year has gone, Van Aert and Pogacar will finish second and third at the Worlds. Just not sure who will beat them yet, would be amazing if it's Girmay though.

Needs to win Worlds or Lombardia for that. Wins in only Strade and this don't merit it.

Probably Tom Leezer.

I think he was thinking that he would go on to win Lombardia.

 

[Eddy Evenepoel]

Jumbo team doctor should take a look at Wouts “small group sprint” allergy

 

[KZD]

I think he was thinking that he would go on to win Lombardia.

He should really be the number 1 favourite there being defending champion and riding like this

 

[Netserk]

Needs to win Worlds or Lombardia for that. Wins in only Strade and this don't merit it.

Of course, hence the question.

I need to pay more attention to what I read.

 

[Eeslliw]

I think Pogi is "angry" after losing TDF. So I wouldn't be surprised if he wins both WC RR and Il Lombardia in rainbow jersey. Or will curse of the WC jersey take it's tool?

 

[Wvv]

Always have a 'meh' feeling when Pogacar wins, but that's personal. He was the strongest, so deserved win.

Wout not in top shape, but if he's still building up, I rather have it this way over last year's fall campaign.

 

[Jagartrott]

Wout not the best after difficult racing beforehand and redzoning to close attacks

In Plouay, Van Aert was constantly closing down attacks, attacking himself, and ultimately he still won the bunch sprint. People just keep underestimating how strong Pogacar is in sprinting.

 

[Red Rick]

I think his sprint is a bit overrated in the first place, but has excellent positioning. But it really seems to turn to *** after a hard race, I wonder if that's a fiber composition thing.

He's going to win the 5 monuments in a row in his rainbow jersey. Never make Pogi angry! Cycling rule #1

 

[yaco]

The World's course is probably halfway in difficulty between Quebec and Montreal - Then you factor in an extra 50kms in race distance.

 

[QueenStagiaire]

No Grand Tours??? Never underestimate Pogi! Cycling rule #2

 

[Panda Claws]

Pogacar skipped a turn here and there. It is easy to outsprint that way.

 

[Blanco]

Who will win it?

Poulidor's grand son.

 

[Eeslliw]

Pogacar skipped a turn here and there. It is easy to outsprint that way.

He was also cooked, there was no faking. But in final sprint he basically gave a perfect leadout to Wout and still beat him comfortably.

 

[Samamba]

Considering the way this year has gone, Van Aert and Pogacar will finish second and third at the Worlds. Just not sure who will beat them yet, would be amazing if it's Girmay though.

Girmay is sick apparently so might have an effect on his Worlds form. And he was already not in super form lately (he was getting better tho).

One things for sure, it isn't going to be Sagan

 

[Netserk]

I think his sprint is a bit overrated in the first place, but has excellent positioning. But it really seems to turn to *** after a hard race, I wonder if that's a fiber composition thing.

When he gets to sprint after a hard race, he has either dragged more weight over the climbs or pulled more on the flat than his opponents.
