Teams & Riders Tadej Pogačar discussion thread

[YavorD]

Yes, from a rational perspective, I agree with you.
But thinking on a mental perspective, it will be just too much for him to be stomped in back to back GTs.

If he isn't dropped in the Alps, he won't be on a bad place mentally. Even if he's dropped, he probably wouldn't be that bad.

The Tour looked bleak after Hautacam, but he proved competitive in the last MTF's. I see no reason for him to be in a bad place mentally.

So we have our answer! Pog is targeting Col de la Loze to shut the pundits up. (Pay attention to 56 second mark)

Yeah, he was targeting Ventoux as well and didn't put any effort to win it, so I don't think he cares too much about Loze.

Another day without crashes.

 

[Bombarolo]

Another day without crashes.

Very good. Can’t wait for tomorrow.

 

[MariaB]

Very good. Can’t wait for tomorrow.

Tomorrow he will win and decide this Tour for good.

I hope Visma go crazy on Madeleine, super fast, super hard, and then Pogi breaking their spirits later.

Yeah. Let's remain positive and hope for the best. Tomorrow is the stage I wanted Pogacar to win the Tour after what happened in 2023.

Yes, and for sure he wants it.

He is tired of watching: "I am gone, I am dead", he said today.

Also, it's the queen stage.

UAE has a very simple job tomorrow: keep the break in a short leash, so if Vingegaard attacks, nobody from Visma can follow him, and also to prevent Visma riders upfront.

So, it's UAE job to have the initiative and control from the beginning. Let's see if they can.

This is it. If Pogi cracks again on La Loze and Vingegaard ends up winning the Tour, I think we Pogi fans might never recover from the PTSD. He has to make a statement.

For sure. I'm not prepared to see him losing again on Loze.

If vingegaard wins this tour im done with this sport

Why? If he wins, it's because he deserved it

 

[No Excuses]

I want to order a pogenheimer for tomorrow. A seated one with some fries please.

I just cant stand Visma

 

[Cycling111]

That would mean Visma winning all three GTs another year. Most people are hoping for that, they don't seem to think that's a bad dominance.

Vingegaard hasn't droppe Pagacar go for too long; doppe him with a four-minute would be very odd given this trend. Without illness, it would be very strange.

Honestly, same. I don’t think I can go through another July like this. Imagine surviving 2022 and 2023 just to get hit with this again.

Most people thought it was bad in 2023.
The Giro this year goes under the radar because of the way it was won, certainly didn't look like domination. The Tour wouldn't look like a domination as well.

If Visma were dominating both of the GC's, a lot of people would complain as well.

I hope this isn't bluff.

In Pog we trust.
My body is ready.

It would make many on here and on X extra salty if it happens 😂

 

[Cycling111]

Today is the first time I've had the feeling he's sick. He came up to the podium very wrap up and looking bad .
