Teams & Riders Tadej Pogačar discussion thread

[ice&fire]

Great job, folks. For the first time this thread has the same number of pages than Remco's.

What a dominant performance on Mur de Huy. Looks ready for LBL.

I agree but to be honest liege is also better for pog. Imo pogacar should wait for roche-aux-faucons and not attack on la redoute. That last climb is actually quite similar to the mur, and on these kind of efforts pog has shown he has something more than remco, plus after that climb there are only approximately 12 km

I already told Pogacar is unbeatable when he is at his best. I think he missed freshness in AGR. Today is a day perfect for him, mainly due to this terrible weather. In LBL, if Pogacar doesn't feel any fatigue, he will win. He is just unbeatable in this kind of races (specially LBL and GdL because they are tougher).

 

[Peyroteo94]

He looked terrible in this interview. I hope he is not sick.

the point is that he's probably not at his best, so in lbl he has to be a bit more conservative and attack on roche aux faucons, beacuse it's closer to the finish, in amstel he would have won if he had raced more conservatively

Needed only 9 days to recover from his PR efforts & humiliate those who prepared all winter on altitude for ardennes. Savage!!!

I don’t care I’m wearing a snowmobile suit on the podium with dry clothes on.

I think it's quite normal he is getting tired, RVV and PR (and Amstel) are such hard races that they are probably as tiring as some 1 week stage races. Still he is the big favourite for Liege, even a 205 km race is probably more open to surprise than today

That was a fully seated attack to the end

Almost, there was one small bit where he went out of the saddle, but if was visible only at the far end of the shot, which was focussed on what was going on behind.

Hincapie said others were closing the gap to him. Eheheheh

The rain man.

It's incredible how bad weather doesn't affect him.
He seems to be increasing his lead over his rivals with rain.

I noticed him in Course de la Paix. It was pouring rain, and he won solo.
In the Vuelta, his best day was in Gredos with very bad weather.

Since then, every time it rains, he's even more superior than any other day.

I mean it's normal if you ride 5 hours in rain all day and it's been a hard race.

Maybe you are right. We will know in 4 days

Remco didnt dig too deep in the end here. He will be all-in for LBL.

Hope Pog can keep this level.

Nah. He was going hard today, he just didn't have the level but I agree with you, he will be better on Sunday, specially due to a better weather.

He was, but also probably didnt dig too deep in the final after Pog just went off in spectacular fashion. Unbeatable today, but Sunday could be harder. Hoping for the best.

I believe Sunday will be harder but Roche aux Faucons is like Huy. Remco will have a hard time to follow him.

 

[Salvarani]

I believe Sunday will be harder but Roche aux Faucons is like Huy. Remco will have a hard time to follow him.

I am not gonna make predictions or say too much. Just hope for the best.

Yes but today he looked good, he is the big favorite but Remco is a great opponent.

 

[Peyroteo94]

Unfortunately Christen will not race LBL. I hope McNulty is good enough because he is the only one able to keep a hard pace after Redoute.

 

[Peyroteo94]

What a victory, old man!

Calm down, one race left.
I'm just begging for no crashes.

HAHAHA. This will never not be funny. Not out of disrespect to other riders, but how dumb can George be as a former pro?

 

[No Excuses]

When he took off his jacket i knew it was over for memeco and the rest
