They will not use, it's extra weight. Aero extensions is for gradients around 4-6%. I don't believe a 10 seconds gain in 3 km is significant when you have to climb after for almost 20 minutes.
POGGENHEIMER on the launch pad
Bueno, Matxin también dijo eso de Ayuso el año pasado. Siempre dice lo mismo de todos.
I'm really scared of tomorrow's stage.
Pogacar was there before Dauphiné. He's been preparing for this Tour for more days than last year. Remember, last year he was at the Giro in May, and this year he was preparing for the Tour in May.
Pero con Almeida ya hemos visto que es verdad. Y con Yates también.Bueno, Matxin también dijo eso de Ayuso el año pasado. Siempre dice lo mismo de todos.
Yates yes, since last year because his level has dropped.
, but now he feels young and strong. That's the problem.
What the hell? Puy de Dome, Joux Plane, Colombier. What race did you watch?Yates yes, since last year because his level has dropped.
In 2023, he didn't pull anything.
This year, since his level is lower than last year, I have no doubt Yates will work.
The problem with domestiques is when they're young or have options.
Maybe Ayuso, at 32, is a good domestique
In 2023, Adam looked at his classification. For Pogacar, it was as if he had been a rider for another team.
There will always be conflicts of interest when a rider is young and feels strong.
This isn't a criticism of Almeida; it's a reality that has always been seen in many teams.
If Almeida is third and Pogacar needs him to sacrifice his classification one day, it's natural that he'll not make the sacrifice until the end.
well vingegaard will use them I tell you that. For pog I didn't think so, but there are leaked pictures suggesting he may use them.
the point is that those first flat 3-4 kms can make more difference than you might think. Vingegaard will very likely use the Cervelo S5 which is one of the fastest pure aero road bikes, plus he will use TT aero extensions. Pog will almost certainly use the V5rs which on the flat is a slower bike and we'll have to see if pog uses tt extensions on that bike.
Pogacar was there before Dauphiné, doing the recognition in Peyragudes.
Man I'm just speculating that pog and uae haven't gone as deep as visma in terms of specific preparation of that stage, it's more of a feeling I have, as I said I might be completely wrong and pog hopefully wins
the point is that at the dauphine we have all seen that even in few Kms of flat you can loose a lot of time. Pog there lost 30 seconds in the first 5/6 kms of flat. Of course nobody has a clear idea of how much that was due to materials and in the MTT they will use different bikes, but I expect pog to loose something like 15 seconds in those first Kms.
It gives the image Netflix wants to portray of him.
