Do you take lots of photos yourself?
I can't be the only one thinking you have a brilliant eye for photography

He is all in for MSR and PR. I wouldn't be surprised if he wins PR. Last year was an experimental year, now he knows what to do.

I think there's a better chance he wins Roubaix than MSR. MVP has probably the best engine on flat cobbles but various things happen in Roubaix (plus Pog has great engine as well and likely improving). As for MSR I'm not optimistic: MVP is flying, Ganna is also doing very well and even Wout showed some form today.

I'm also curious to see his sprint. He is bulkier and I believe this can make a huge difference in his sprint.

They need to do Capo Berta full gas. It's the only real climb. Then 2/3 doms at the foot of Cipressa would be enough to try solo

Domen Novak about people comparing Seixas to Pogačar:

“Paul Seixas is very good. Everyone wants to compare him to Tadej. At this age, he’s even ahead of where Tadej was. But when Tadej was Seixas’ age, he wasn’t going to altitude camps. He was still racing for the Gusto Rog Ljubljana team. He won his first Tour while eating pizza, drinking beer and playing PlayStation.”

“Pogačar is a natural talent, while the young riders today are very professionally prepared. They spend a month at altitude and everything is perfectly planned. That’s all good, but the question is how long they can keep it up mentally. At 19 or 20 they’re already going to the absolute maximum, 24/7. I don’t know if they’ll still be racing when they’re 30.”

I didn't know Pogacar loves beer but maybe the way he drank the Amstel beer back in 2023 was a good indicator of that.
