Teams & Riders Tadej Pogačar discussion thread

[Salvarani]

No, but if THJ hadn‘t touched Pogačar he would have ended up being chopped by Matteo which should mean yellow card for Matteo, right?

This is just whataboutism.

THJ made reckless move and caused a crash. The facts.

 

[Miha81]

He sincerely apologized as expected. He should not be torched that hard.

The guy should receive the yellow card for his move.

He could end Pogi TDF. A real shame.

yellow cards are a joke, if the organizers really want to send a message about riders safety he should be disqualified from the race and pay a significant fine

 

[QueenStagiaire]

This is just whataboutism.

No, not to distract from the Pogačar crash, just asking for similar penalties based on danger of actions, not consequences

Of course, everyone who see the video knows he made reckless move.

At least a classy gesture and remorse.

Lets hope it does not affect Pog too much.

What happens in this video then?

Most of them didn't turn until his crash. They turn after.

It is just to distract.

Yup, exactly.

Thankfully Pogacar seems okay.

no reason to hate him or anything, he should just be disqualified from the race, that's it. If you don't send a strong message riders will continue to act like this

Ahahah "Pogi's fault"

 

[rafa92]

Ahahah "Pogi's fault"

who said pogi's fault?

 

[Peyroteo94]

who said pogi's fault?

Not me for sure...

 

[rafa92]

Not me for sure...

I'm very worried about tomorrow, what do you expect?

 

[Miha81]

who said pogi's fault?

It was initial opinion in the stage thread until the different angle of accident was published.

 

[Lui98]

who said pogi's fault?

I did. Then I changed my mind after seeing multiple replays. The helicopter shot helped me change my opinion.

 

[Peyroteo94]

Cycling is cruel. I don't know what to expect to be honest. Without crashes, I thought Pogacar would crush Visma tomorrow. The gap in Dauphiné was too big for someone to totally close in 4 weeks.
Now, let's see. For me cycling can't go lower than Armstrong's confession or Contador's crash in 2014. So all good!

So Pogi hit the deck. Looked like a harmless fall, but just some road rash, nothing broken, no real drama. He even said, “just skin, I’ve had worse days.”

Still, he admitted that “the next day is never easy,” so there might be some discomfort tomorrow. But honestly:
a) Road rash sucks, but in this case it’s superficial (and it looks like it is), it shouldn't really impact his performance.
b) Pain can be annoying, especially if it’s on shoulders/hips/hands (depends where he landed), but we’ve seen guys ride through much worse.
c) He seemed mentally fine after the stage, laughing, relaxed, not rattled at all.

Unless something unexpected flares up overnight, I’d say he’ll be 100% ready to fight on Hautacam.

Sleep peacefully.
He'll be fine.

Tons of people in the race thread.

Being sore when adrenaline is high is not good. Tomorrow, we will see how he is.

yes I have the same impression, it doesn't seem too bad, but still he won't be at 100%. My expectation before today was that he would gain 50 sec on Hautacam, now I expect him to arrive with vingegaard or even loosing 15-20 sec

Relax my friend.

I saw you posting on the race thread that the Tour is over after he fell.
I know you are nervous, as I am.

But this guy is a god damn gladiator.
In Pogi we trust.

I still believe in a nuclear bomb tomorrow. He is pissed. In pain, a bloody lion hurt and hungry.
