Teams & Riders Tadej Pogačar discussion thread

[James M]

I would hazard a guess that Pedersen was also disappointed, and MVP knows he was beaten by a better rider.

Nothing wrong with being disappointed—it would be strange if they weren’t, honestly.

Pogacar was disappointed after MSR im sure; if these guys weren’t disappointed, they wouldn’t be as good. Theres a difference between being disappointed and happy with the result—one doesn’t necessarily exclude the other in these cases. It’s a nuanced distinction.

Pogi thread is catching up Remco thread when Remco isn't racing and Pogi does goat things

I don't remember Vingo being that much smaller than pogi

Pure cyclismo

People on rooftops, this is the holy grail what an epic RVV edition it was. As stacked a field as you can get, with pure racing over a long distance and close until the very end;it’s hard to top that. Awesome edition!

Yup but Remco was really hyped in his youth. Belgian, decimated Junior Races, new Merckx. He didn't live to expectations.

The Monuments have been stellar so far, and PR won’t be any worse I bet—on the contrary, it might even top them, considering there are more unknowns at least to what extent heading into Roubaix, beyond the usual PR lottery.

We just need MVP and Pogi to have stellar monuments.

The new Merckx was waiting in the wings at the exact same moment

Of course I want Pog to smash all three remaining Monuments, but I’ll be perfectly satisfied with him taking LBL and Il Lombardia, as long as VDP doesn’t touch Roubaix.

Give me someone like Pedersen, a guy who actually deserves a Monument and doesn’t come up with excuses every time he gets outclassed.

The real Merckx was flying under the radar.

There is only one Merckx. There will never be another like him. The GOAT, the only one who was capable of winning everything, including PR and MSR.

Not everything though. Merckx never won E3.

Geraint Thomas remains the only rider to win E3 and The Tour. The Real GoaT.

Merckx never won strade Bianche

Merckx never won strade Bianche

Duh, if you're going by that, at least use a proper example.
Merckx never won Zuri-Metzgete and, to my knowledge, that was a big race back then.

Wiggans isn't ready quite yet. I lean more toward's wiggans thinking. If pogi died in a plane crash next week, we'd all only talk about the potential with endless debates about what might have been.

Don't write stuff like this! Dreadful!
