Teams & Riders Tadej Pogačar discussion thread

He was bruised and had rash on shoulder, elbow and leg.

Typically this can be a problem the day after a crash but all of the pros say they feel the worst the second day after

Pog probably wants to punch the Norwegian in the face now.
Spend all this time, prepare like a monster, focus on your goals and be crashed by a random farmer who nobody will know existed 20 years from now.
I would be livid in his place.

absolutely, this can't be accepted

The problem is that there is no recovery time, we are heading into 3 brutal stages.

I think tomorrow he will be able to follow, but now I think he will lose some time on MTT, and Saturday he might even get gaped by Vingo

 

[Jack_89]

The way how he jumped back on his feet and bike, it's comforting. I don't even see much damage to clothing, which is usually a clue. No blood. No big tears. It doesn't look that bad. Obviously, it would have been better to stand, but that's racing.

Impossible to say now honestly, every scenario is possible

The timing is shocking.

There is recovery time. It's called sleep.

looking at him it seems like he sustained the minimal impact you can have after a crash, but it's impossible to say, we'll see tomorrow

This is another tshirt moment. Pogi will look an invincible hero ala strade. Or visma will get shirts for their good fortune if Pogi flops

 

[Kedjan]

Irony is that Pog said in the interview yesterday that he was happy the mountains where ahead and the stressful and hectic first part of the tour was over. Unfortunately it was such stage left.

 

[snipeheem]

We were 1 day away to the greatest performance in cycling history.. what a **** show

Not his fault. But still tough day in the office.

From now on whatever happens in this race the Tour will have a huge asterisk.
Almeida out and Pogi crashed.

Oh boy. I want to give these guys the benefit of the doubt in race conditions. But he did that from behind???

He literally runs him over. The definition of it.

Crashes might be a part of the discipline but they certainly aren’t a part of the “sport”

He literally runs him over. The definition of it.

Please don‘t write a dictionary.

The narrative is "no one's fault. Race incident"

Ofc but we are talking about good recovery.

Not only it will take days to fully heal even if it is just minimal injuries. When you have rashes you don't sleep very well

He probably wasn't aware Pog is that close. Racing incident. I hope Pog is OK and I can still look forward to next 3 stages.

exactly, I agree
No one on earth currently knows his condition. Only him. Remco, for example, was visibly more sore and bruised after his crash in the third stage. From what we can see, the impact is minimal and we can be hopeful, we await his words. Tomorrow we will see.

He rode over pogis front wheel and did it from behind

He can see all of pogis body and position within the incident. Pog wasn’t on his wheel

 

[CatchyH]

I think Pogacar should pull out of the race and focus on the Vuelta and Worlds. It's not possible to compete with Jonas when you have missing skin and bruises.

 

[rafa92]

just heard the interview of the uno x rider and he doesn't take responsibility, says pogacar was distracted. I can't believe the nerves people have, this guy should be banned from the race
