Teams & Riders Tadej Pogačar discussion thread

[Jan the Man]

i would not read too much into body language as yet- still i would ordinarily expect Vigno to take some time on Hautacam given the crash.

What about Jorgenson? Wasn't said he was a hell of threat?
Last year only 26mins gap btw

C'mon Teddy!!!

Now once again all on the victorious bandwagon of Pogacar. 🫠🫠

My man!!!

 

[Peyroteo94]

Ahahah hilarious! Best climbing performance ever!

And everyone was worried about a bike... He is the GOAT, he wins with any bike.

 

[Jack_89]

My only concern he doesn't exaggerate now. Two big days are coming and tomorrow he buries them definitely

 

[Miha81]

He never cease to amaze me. Lost for words. Did not expect this today.

 

[Peyroteo94]

He can gain the Tour. C'mon Pogi!

Eheheh. Really good without a doubt

 

[snipeheem]

He is the goat and its not even close.

Don't underestimate repercussions in the mind of Jonas( and Visma) after today

 

[AmRacer]

#3 stage win in Rainbow, Sagan and Cav did it too

Where is Matteo? Eheheh

Imagine from 2nd place on Paris Roubaix going head to head with the greatest cobble rider in history. To the greatest climbing performance of all time.

 

[Jack_89]

Where is Matteo? Eheheh

Eh, a good question. Nothing against him ofc. But the truth is that the captain needs to be stronger or similarly to his main opponent. Otherwise, you can have even 10 domestics but if your legs aren't good...you are f××××x.
In the 2013 Contador had a much stronger team than Sky in the mountains...but Froome was on another level and Alberto was brutally beaten. A similar situation happened in the Giro 2015 with Astana vs Contador/Tinkoff

Pog smashing everyone as expected. Vingegaard is cooked signs been there all year, unfortunately.

 

[Peyroteo94]

Incredible!!

 

[Peyroteo94]

35'25"

 

[Salvarani]

Congrats Champ!

What a performance

GOAT

There's a lot of place for improvement it seems.

I want to expect the estimates of watts but I have the impression pog was not on Pdb level, and I don't think he beated the climbing record of hautacam. I talked a lot about the bike and I continue to say he doesn't look comfortable on that bike. To me the surprise of today was how bad vingegaard was, really bad

 

[Jack_89]

Expecting to beat a clearly doped performance...well, it's better isn't happened

confirmed, he was 32 seconds slower than riis. At Pdb level he would have matched or even beaten the record. Vingegaard today was much worse than in 2024, pog a bit worse than 2024
