Teams & Riders Tadej Pogačar discussion thread

[Peyroteo94]

His most remarkable win was 2020 tour. His most impressive win was 2024 worlds with 2024 SB a close second (someone here created a whole username about that solo).

No he didn't. I really think his username was 80km solo before SB win

Don’t bust my fantasy like that!

They must maintain this route until Pogacar retires? And then change? This is utterly ridiculous, if they do this, it is clearly sabotaging Pogacar's palmares.
MSR always was won by a variety of different riders. This was no different when Manie was introduced in the race.
Manie would be a interesting addition but without it, MSR is a race where nothing happens during 270 km. I will say again, the same people who say Manie should not be introduced again, are the same people 10 years ago were against the current route. A rider cannot be harmed just because he is so much better. Even Pompeiana was introduced because the route wasn't delivering a good show.

The rider (Pogacar) isn't harmed as the race is the same as it was when he started riding. It's not like anyone changed the route with the sole purpose of him not winning it.

You don't alter a route so that a single rider benefits just because he can't/it's hard for him to win it and his fans want that.

MSR route has changed route numerous amount of times. It is part of every race to make tweaks. All the monuments (or any race for that matter) have and will likely continue to do so. Would not be strange at all. We know the reason why some wouldnt, but same ones will complain on the route of every other race. Hilarious.

Weren't you who said removing Manie was a bad decision and now don't want Manie back? Interesting change of opinion...

Lmfao. You cant make it up.

He really said that

"Races are better without Pogacar". After seeing today's stage in PN, my only answer is "right..."

The race was yesterday and that was the end of it. Today they just rode in places and lipo was content to not win it

I expect tomorrow will have a decent stage and not this clown show we saw today.

@TamauPogi goes at 305 watts and 139 pulses and at the same time eating a bread that is a bit short for any mortal.

He already told he loves to train 5 hours on true zone 2 (320-340 watts).

Looking at the 1 week races this week I think UAE should try and get Lidl and Ineos to cooperate with them and make the race hard. It also looks like it will rain which will make it more interesting.

It's too early to tell if we will have rain in MSR.

I think even if it doesn't rain his only way to win is to convince some other riders like Pidcock, Pedersen, Ganna that it is better for them to drill it and reduce the group then let it go to the sprint.

Currently there is prediction for rain around, but of course you have to wait till closer for that to be confirmed.

Ineos is very conservative. They won't do anything to be honest. I still think Pogi doesn't have a chance with this route so I want him to just rip the peloton in pieces.

Ineos haven't been riding conservative all year? They know they don't win like they used to and with the company hemorrhaging money and the cycling team looking to keep sponsorship/ get new sponsorship they are really putting themselves out there at every race.

I think he just meant that they are unlikely to be aggressive but hope someone like Ganna will produce a great result.

Exactly. Every single team will wait for Pogacar.

 

[Peyroteo94]

Let's see (as @Salvarani said) if MVP will get half of criticism Pogacar got for being in the break.

Can’t remember the last team we didn’t have a pleasant sunny MSR. Was it the snowy edition that had a stoppage and Ciolek won the reduced sprint or is there a more recent edition with inclement weather.
