Teams & Riders Tadej Pogačar discussion thread

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

Imagine he smokes Vingegaard in 2025 TDF. Oh wait

Pogacar's season could have ended after the TDF. All of this is a bonus.
Just compare the season in which Vingegaard won the Velo d'Or, and this one is far superior.

 

[Salvarani]

Yeah but let him live in the wonderland.

You do before every race.

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

He got sick and skipped some TT training. But he said he went to Canada to prepare the RR.

 

[VayaVayaVaya]

I have to say, he just looked bad on the bike the entire time. Too upright. Terrible position.

No excuses, no coping. Today was not a performance of a guy who is chasing the GOAT of cycling.

Everytime when Pog loses some race this thread going crazy, lets wait for RR…

Yeah, who would have thought that going to Canada is suboptimal for a good time trial at the Worlds.

He is the goat of cycling, nothing to chase anymore

Stop it. Come on now.

And then he always put everyone at its place. Let's wait

This wasn't just a loss. I believe he is missing something to be in top shape.

 

[fenns]

his worst race since 2023 - a but worrying for him tbh

 

[Salvarani]

I thought about that on the first climb as well.

Then Remco went massively faster in the slope and corner up right before T1. Just visibly from the eye he was going so much faster.

 

[Valv.Piti]

Who cares about the ITT. Pog was plenty good in Canada to win on next Sunday. He got sick and went to Canada, hardly the best prep, but despite the sickness looked really good still in Montreal. Thats what really matters

Good. At least he has some pride

His whole season has ups and downs in a way. Competing to 2024, when he was absolute beast throughout the season, he relative ups and downs in 2025.

 

[Divergence]

Today is the first time we saw his teeth. They are very bad.

 

[Lequack]

Merckx would have won the ITT.

 

[BubbaChuck]

Next year he should do only 30 race days before World's so he is not tired.

I would wait till the season end. If he wins in a dominant fashion both WC and Lombardia then it's close (2024 is better due to GT double). If he flops at least one of them then you are right.

Pog trying to mask his form for the RR.

What downs he had in 2025?

 

[BubbaChuck]

its not about race days only.you need rest during season,pog is always on.

This performance will help him win the RR. Now Remco believe he can beat him so he will have Belgium control and then race for Pogacar in my mind.. If Pogacar had won with 1 min today Ii would be everyone against Slovenia. And no way Slovenia could handle that.
