!!! POGGENHEIMER T-Minus 12 HOURS !!!

Take shelter !

Yeah baby! Ready to kill them all with another Poggenheimer. 4 days ago, he did his best attack this spring, probably the best attack I ever seen after Contador's attacks against Rasmussen

 

[Peyroteo94]

Yup, Pogi is tired following the cobbles season (FW was a cold weather fluke) so 1 star is max. I would give him.

Yeah, he will fight with Alaphilippe for the biggest bonk in the race.

He´ll be a domestique for McMulty, as that Basque Country.

Now more serious, McNulty will be very important today. I hope he delivers a big performance as Pogacar's last man

There are not many weaknesses one can find, but maybe his doms are one. Crazy to say really because the team is strong.

McNulty did well in both AGR and FW. As you say, he will be crucial today.
Novak, Sivakov and Grosscharter are of course all good, and maybe the longer climbs will suit them better. But how are their shape? And with no Christen in the team, Pog seems to lack someone who can do a strong pull and put Pog's competitiors in red.

Sure, for Pog it's not necessary to have a strong leadout to be able to drop competitors when he attacks, but it sure helps.

It would help if he had a strong leadout against this Remco.

 

[Peyroteo94]

10 kph headwind on Redoute and Roche aux Faucons. I think he needs someone with him after La Redoute.

Ineos boys will be waiting

Nah, break will be caught before La Redoute.

Tough prediction

Tough prediction

Eheheh. It wasn't that obvious!

 

[Peyroteo94]

On his way for a third LBL.

 

[Spine Concept]

I'm done with these "Only Evenepoel can catch Pogacar" nonsense talks. Pogacar stands alone.

 

[Salvarani]

GOAT

He done it again!

Amen. I have been saying this for years.

 

[Poggenheimer_Aus]

What a glorious day.

 

[Peyroteo94]

What a glorious day.

9th monument on the way!

 

[Peyroteo94]

How many riders won 3 monuments in a season? I know Merckx did it 3 or 4 times. Anyone else?

 

[Poggenheimer_Aus]

9th monument on the way!

Yes, and 10th is on the way this year.

 

[Peyroteo94]

So a harder race benefits Remco huh?

 

[Poursuivant]

Can’t believe how nonchalant that attack was, it was like that Quintana pain face meme: no discernible change.

 

[Cycling111]

Only De Vlaeminck and Merckx have more Monuments than him.

Pogacar's weakness at Amstel was definitely caused by PR.
PR has been greatly underestimated.
Last year, van der Poel said that Amstel was his hardest race because he was exhausted after PR.


I was wrong in my prediction with Cicoone. I didn't expect it to be this good, not even the best from Lidl.

 

[KZD]

First time that Pogačar wins two monuments in the spring. 2025 may become as good as 2024.

Yup. On his way to 3 monuments! I already told this is Pogacar's kindergarten! He just got extremely unlucky here. He could be a 5 times winner
