Teams & Riders Tadej Pogačar discussion thread

I agree to be honest. It is very possible by the end of 2028, he will have 17 monuments.

Probably as we can see he is mentally affected and will not be so dominant by 2028, It will be hard for him as he has been dominant since a young age. Credit to him if he can keep winning at this rate beyond 2028

He has been struggling mentally for sure. For that reason I said he would win 15 monuments until 2028 and 3 GTs. With that palmares, he will be the second greatest achiever in cycling.

2 races Pogi will never win, MSR (because other guys are better then him on that finish) and the Vuelta because doing the Spring races and the Tour is too much before the Vuelta.

There is just one guy who is problem for Pogi on MSR. All "other guys" can't compete with Pogacar already on Cipressa. MvDP rode perfekt last three MSR but i don't believe he will beat Pogacar forever there. Vuelta he will get it next year, he is just smart enough to not ride it against Vingegard (he would still destoy him) when he can ride it when Jonas is not there and save some energy. P-R will be a real trouble though.

"we can see"....? Love the quick conclusions and jump to ascending the judge status of anointing him with "Credit" if he can keep winning. How many of you critics actually ride outdoors? How many have raced? It's my common rant but this guy knows how to navigate the system of pro racing. If he wins the Worlds will you still pursue this line of reasoning? We still wouldn't know.
Sorry, though; Jonas won't be at the Worlds or win anything that Tadej finds important.

The Vuelta is the easiest GT for Teddy. 20 minutes climbs are his strenght. He just needs to show up in good shape.

I guess he wouldn't mind if a rider ahead of him changes lane and chops him off.

Armchair UCI commissaire is an even more popular job than armchair cyclist.

He had an accident in the Tour because of it.

But I remember that some people here blamed Pogacar, justifying that change of direction. LOL

The UnoX rider was not sanctioned.
It's interesting to see how opinions change depending on who suffered the accident for a change of direction.

I doubt anyone here thought that the negligent behaviour of Pogi justified how Johannessen moved.

Would you mind quoting an example?

Imagine if Van Poppel does the same is a race next year and ends up taking him out, the guy is reckless all the time.

If you go back to the race thread for that stage, lots of people were blaming Pogacar for the crash.

Weren't you who blame Pogacar instead of THJ? Because he was on the radio?

 

[Netserk]

I'm sure lots of people correctly pointed out how Pogi contributed to the accident.

I doubt anyone used that to justify how the other rider behaved.

 

[Netserk]

I don't think so, no. Not instead of Johannessen.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

I guess he must also believe his own 3rd place from the 2020 LBL should be taken away since Alaphilippe did nothing wrong.

And his more mature self today wouldn't have any bad words for Dylan van Baarle.

Whataboutism.

 

[Netserk]

Whataboutism.

What about it?

 

[Monsi]

I get if he is still pissed off about the Rui Oliveira relegation in Tour of Slovenia. But I don't get why that should influence his opinion on this van Poppel move. He's just plain wrong on this one.

 

[Peyroteo94]

I don't think so, no. Not instead of Johannessen.

Ah ok, so you blamed both even if Pogacar didn't make anything wrong (IMO).

 

[Peyroteo94]

This doesn't seem a post from a mature person. It's very obvious he is still salty about Ivo's relegation a few weeks ago.

 

[Netserk]

If Brennan today decided to look over his shoulder during the sprint and thus couldn't avoid a crash, I'd blame him too for not being attentive enough.

Tell me a rider who doesn't talk to the radio in a stage or classic.

Most talk on the radio in quieter moments or in a safer manner.
