The Giro is the most suited GT to Pogacar. If there is a race where he can shine without putting all out efforts, it's the Giro. No one handles the tough weather like him.

He is back to Isola 2000. A little bit strange to me because if he was in Tignes, he could recon Col de La Loze and La Plagne easily.

Last year, he was in Isola because the final stages were there. It would make more sense to go to Tignes and prepare La Plagne and Col de la Loze.

Urska is with Pogacar in Isola. This means one thing to me, Pogacar will race the Vuelta and wants to spend more time with Urska before the Tour-Vuelta double.

Nice
You talked about this and you are probably right the only thing that could make Pogi re-think his Vuelta participation is if Vingegaard really challenges him and he finishes totally exhausted.
The Dauphine probably gave him a boost of confidence that it should be ok.

Maybe Pogacar doesn’t want to race in Tignes so Visma can’t get a gauge on his true level and how races the climbs.
They've coincided in Sierra Nevada for two weeks.
They train separately, there's no way they know the numbers.

Noticed that since CO breathers was banned, Pogi is more unreachable. Facts!
Like what? Very fast from the bottom and even faster towards the summit?

Pacing strategy, where potential attacks could happen, and overall how he looks.

They were together in Sierra Nevada and we all saw how Dauphine went and how shocked Visma were.

He goes to Isola because it’s close to Monaco and UAE have a chalet they always rent there 🤷🏻♀️ G talked about it on his podcast once.
PR is a fickle and hard b*tch to win. Investing any part of a season is inviting a season-interupting injury in Pave sector #1. Bad vibes...
Better to just plan for a good early season and hope for the best. Ask all the guys that rode it 10 times, got in the 4 once and kept beating themselves up. It's like splitting aces in Blackjack when you're betting $20 a hand and winning. Then recalling that moment when it's $1,000/hand.....

I don't get why being close to Monaco is important. Is he going to sleep in Monaco while training in Isola?

G. is still a pretty good cyclist. Max. a few dozen of seconds in my case.
That would be a terrible altitude camp!

Yup. He was very close this year. I just want a bit of rain to give him an advantage.

So why it's important being close to Monaco? It's not like Tignes is in Australia.

Maybe he simply likes this place. Or maybe Visma, Bora and Soudal reserved all accomodations in Tignes so Pogacar can't stay there.

Even Jonas knows he is screwed

"I hope he doesn’t get any better" - Jonas Vingegaard says 'time will tell' if Tadej Pogacar is peaking too soon for 2025 Tour de France
For many riders, their calendars are designed around peaking at one race in particular every season. For others, they target 2 or 3 peaks within a season. Tadej Pogacar however, has shown over recent...

I agree. UAE realised the only thing stopping him from doing both Tour and Vuelta was time away from home so they are just bringing her to all the camps. She was also in Sierra Nevada.
Not sure what her schedule is like for the rest of the year other than Slovenian nationals.
