[Extinction]

He does what he wants.

 

[AmRacer]

He will race PR to get #100 with LBL.

 

[Salvarani]

I wouldn’t go this far, but I was thinking instead of naming a gravel sector after him, maybe an medieval Siena cathedral ??

Yup, gonna get a sector named after him now.

Equal amount of wins as Cancellara in this race.

Pog will want the record here.

And to win today after the crash was incredible.

GOAT.

Would be an incredible way to do to it! Adding to his monument tally as well.

 

[Rule #9 apostle]

He is truly the messiah.

He's not the Messiah, he's a very naughty boy

Well, evidently Pidcock flew too close to the Son of God. Like Phaethon.

 

[Salvarani]

If on purpose then it is simply to annoy people. Just ignore. The over the top response says more than the original act.

Very true and it can be seen very clearly. The over the top says a lot.

Today he was more a very bruised boy, but boy did he prevail in a great fashion in the end. A performance worthy of the greatest ever.

How many UWT wins to reach 100 WT wins?
I think that stat would be even more impressive.

Even though, tbh, 'Giro dell'Emilia' albeit a 1.Pro race is pretty legit, while, on the other hand, I personally don't care about UAE tour and such.

False. He didn't win Tre Valli (while the race was cancelled midway through, he did start it).

 

[Unchained]

Funny how three popular bike race sites are speculating about a non start for Paris Roubaix because of crash\injury chance and putting TDF in jeopardy.. I have watched his crash a few times and he definitely was a rabbit's foot away from DNF and hospital

Seriously?

 

[Netserk]

Seriously?

Did he start Tre Valli? Did he win it?

The quote was: "Tadej Pogačar has now won 10 of the last 11 races he started."

If he had been the thing to hit that road sign, instead of his bike hitting it, that would have been catastrophic.

Don't be so literal. You understood what he tried to say.

journalists should be held to a higher standard than other people, not *fewer

 

[Peyroteo94]

Honest question. Without the crash, would Pogacar win this race with an under 2 minutes gap.

 

[scribers]

I think the gap would have been similar, crash or no crash

 

[Peyroteo94]

Pogacar would attack at 45 km to go IMHO.

 

[No Excuses]

Another majestic performance from the goat. Hopefully he recovers fast and will be at 100% at msr

 

[Shortcut]

Pogacar would attack at 45 km to go IMHO.

I don't think so. Pogi muss try something else on those races, where he is clear favorite. UAE Tour and Strade were perfect to just sit and wait. He knows he can win with attack 80-100km from finish, but why? He showed us, he can do it but his goals are MSR /Flanders maybe P-R so those solo attacks are uselles for trying something new. I think he is still not at his best and wants to peak at MSR, Flanders/PR .Without crash that would be really perfect win.

Let’s say this crash is a bit of a setback on form target. I think he was focusing on msr this spring. This might set up a much stronger Holy Week
