Yes, I was surprised to see Jonas dropping so early. Maybe an off day or maybe he is doing something different with training to peak for other goals.

Tadej Pogačar shrugs off suggestions of weakness after fading in La Flèche Wallonne

He did try in 2020 soon after he won TDF but his performance was very similar to what he showed today…
The Belgian races elude him. If only Mur de Huy was in Italy or France.
Could be doubtful for LBL because of family issues.
I personally think his aim was a peak that stretches from MSR to RVV. LBL is a race he already won and Pogacar seems like a guy that really wants to strive for 5. Even Pogacar can't peak from UAE tour all the way to Liège.
Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't be suprised if he wins in Liège, but I don't expect him to be as dominant in LBL as he was in Flanders where he was the strongest in the race. The sprint in Huy never lies. Guys that end up top 20 usually do wel in LBL.

I saw today that he wasn't even the best-placed Slovenian named Tadej in an edition of the Flèche Wallonne where Valverde was second.
Because in 2007, Tadej Valjavec was 10th. Pretty poor not to be able to break that record.

The mother of his fiancée died. For this reason he didn´t make the recon yesterday, but he is scheduled to return to Liege on saturday..

Family comes first and that is something to respect.
This is something that is often overlooked, but crucially important to mental health.
My thoughts are with TP and his in-laws.
Short interview with Eddy Merckx for Slovenian media.
www.rtvslo.si
He visited Slovenia in 1961. It was his first trip abroad. With a group of students he visited Bled and did some hiking in surrounding hills. Pogačar reminds him of him. Not waiting till the end to win a stage. He still watches biggest races on TV and enjoys that much more then selfies and signing autographs. He mentioned Mohorič and Roglič. He sees all three as champions that always race to win.
Chapeau!
Merckx: Pogačar malce spominja name, saj ne čaka do zadnjega, da dobi etapo
Najuspešnejši kolesar v zgodovini Eddy Merckx še vedno zelo podrobno spremlja največje dirke na svetu. Navdušujejo ga predvsem Slovenci, ki so letos dobili že pet dirk svetovne serije.

It seems the Ardenne classics were a game changer for Pogacar. Dropped by a 100 yo Spanish guy on a tiny Belgian hill while Evenepoel finally turned into an unbeatable beast. The end is near: maybe a farewell race in Slovenia before he rides off into the sunset.
Pogi didn't sign for Netflix series and Netflix lost 200k subscribers.

Are we sure that Merckx didn’t visit Slovenia in early 1998?
Tadej is listed on the start list for the Criterium du Dauphine. Change of plans?

He is listed for both Dauphine and Slovenia which seems highly unlikely he will do both even though theoretically possible with the dates.

BANNED
He's clearly scared of Froome
Likely ASO was at play. That is today Primož confirmed he is doing Dauphiné and no nationals. Obviously Tadej to participate at nationals and no Dauphiné.
Makes sense.
