Again, I'm not saying this, his coach said it.
That this year they would do two training phases, one for the Classics and another for the Tour-Vuelta-World Championships.And that the next challenge would be the Giro-Tour-Vuelta.You can find that out yourself.

I believe what his coach said over Mou or anyone else on a forum. He's the one who knows him best because he's the one who coaches him.

Something else happened, because Pogacar has spoken very highly of his coach and he doesn't seem to be the type to make mistakes like that.

Post a source for him saying all of this. When and where has he said this?

You also dont seem to grasp how this makes no sense schedule-wise. It is not a good idea, which I said many months ago and detailed why many times.

So I am happy, some common sense seems to have prevailed.

You are just often wrong and it has become annoying. Not just about this.

Now everyone knows that Pogacar wouldn't be doing the Vuelta, but the reality is that last year when he was asked if he would do two GT for another season, he said yes for a few more seasons.

And in an interview from earlier this year, Javier Sola talks about doing the Tour-Vuelta and that Pogacar's next challenge would be to do Giro-Tour-Vuelta in the same year.

Something has changed.

What’s changed is a mental thing not a physical things. He’s telling himself he can’t do something. He’s admitting defeat openly. His mindset should be he could do something but it’s prudent to look out for his long term prospects. These are two different things.

He needs a publicist and a good psychologist. But most importantly he needs strong managment guidance. Bruyneel is possibly the only one. Maybe brailsford. Plugge is too inclined to propaganda. Even against his own athletes. The rest out there are a mixture of narcissists and incompetents.

Stop it. This makes no sense.

He is just tired and was never doing a second GT given what he has raced this season.

No need to go full conspiracy theorist.

I just think he likes too much to go on vacations in August. His mind since Ventoux is getting to the beach and having some wild $ex with Urska in Maldives.

He has been riding the hardest races you can do with the classics, Ardennes, prep, Dauphine and Tour.

Think he should be allowed to take a break.

That he would be tired mentally and physically... was pretty obvious that he was gonna be. Foreseeing that was not difficult.

So a break now to recharge and then focus on the fall always made the most sense, this season.

It's also very annoying that you laugh at so many posts with the intention of being disrespectful, and I've never said anything to you.
And don't think you're smarter than anyone else, as if everything you said was the absolute truth and you're there to say who's wrong.
If you want to talk about what is annoying, that arrogance and believing yourself superior to me is really annoying. I've never addressed you in those terms. And it's not the first time you've spoken as if you were superior to the rest and referred to others as if we were inferior. That is annoying.

This is a thread for discussing Pogacar and giving our opinions.

It's not a thread for you to judge me.

I agree with you now. I'm just disappointed to not see him in Angliru.
But my post was a half joke. I really think he likes too much to go on vacations in the Summer.
