Teams & Riders Tadej Pogačar discussion thread

[Peyroteo94]

They beat Quinn Simmons.... A flat to medium mountain rouleur.
This is supposed to be impressive?

We will see his level next Sunday

 

[Salvarani]

Yeah, of course. He is really worse than Vine and Wilder.

What does this even mean?

Dont take out your frustrations for being wrong on me.

 

[Rou]

We will see his level next Sunday

Imagine he loses next Sunday and Vingegaard smokes him in 2 weeks as well.
What then?

Yall are hilarious.

 

[Cycling111]

Not even bronze eheheh. Terrible performance!
I don't expect him to be that much better on Sunday 28th.

I hope your prediction is as bad as the previous one

 

[Peyroteo94]

Dont take out your frustrations for being wrong on me.

Huh? You act like this performance was normal.
And no mate, I don't suffer frustrations about cycling anymore, don't worry.

Man prioritizes meme races in Canada over altitude training before WC ITT at altitude.

 

[Shortcut]

I except this thread going private after this. Just kidding. he must have some problems with ITT material or preparation, after Dauphine and this today, something is totally off.

 

[Didinho]

He’s coming from Canada with a jet lag. Another week to acclimatize and he’ll be fine for the road race. Still the man to beat.

 

[Blobs]

Played out as I expected.

But 4th was not too bad. People exaggerating that part as well.

You expected Remco to catch him? I doubt that.

Relax mate. He still won the Tour and 2 monuments. No one had a better season.

you really don't get it, pogacar on TTs like this (with a lot of climbing) really struggles when he's not in top top shape. Remember the TT of dauphine: well he lost 50 sec in 17 kms, so pretty similar level to today, but on the road bike he dominated dauphine. He's not a natural on climbs with a TT bike and so he struggles if not in great shape, but on a road bike it's an entirely different story

 

[Rou]

Do we know at what time he got his vaccinations? Or maybe he and the Slovenian boys didn't take this into account?

 

[Salvarani]

Huh? You act like this performance was normal.

No, Im pretty indifferent about it. I thought he had no chance against Remco.

Vine has targeted this and is very good.

Great performance from Van Wilder.

I dont think Pog was bad nor good. Very close to a medal, woud have a been a very good result to get it. People just were super-wrong in their predictions more than anything else.

 

[Revelation]

He would benefit from leaving UAE.

 

[Peyroteo94]

Good for his opponents.

 

[Cycling111]

Yeah, of course. He is really worse than Vine and Wilder.

In fact, Vine had never been better than Pogacar in any time trial.

I already said he wouldn't win today. But anyone who says they expected me to do worse than Van Wilder is lying. I didn't see any comments saying anything like that.

 

[Blobs]

He tried to cheat his way to a bronze medal by wheel sucking Remco, but fortunately didn't succeed. That would have been controversial.

 

[scribers]

No space for cope here. Pog got destroyed and he has to reckon mentally his place in cycling

 

[Monsi]

Sooo Pogi to win by 2 minutes next week instead of 4 minutes?

 

[Salvarani]

You expected Remco to catch him? I doubt that.

That is a leading question.

I expected the outcome of the winner.

 

[Krzysztof_O]

His season would still be great but it would signal that his post-Tour crisis (and retirement comments) is something serious, not just temporary thing.

 

[Jack_89]

I can't wait for next Sunday

Yeah but let him live in the wonderland.

 

[Rou]

Pog in the interview admitting that it's not good for the TT that he went to Canada.
He sounds frustrated and has a disappointed look.
