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.

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
"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.

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?

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

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.
