'I feel ready, I expect a lot from my legs' – Tadej Pogačar back to bullish best ahead of Rwanda World Championships road race and in search of revenge for heavy TT defeat
'I didn't catch my rhythm, I didn't catch my legs, but after Sunday, I think I've got used to the environment' says defending World Championwww.cyclingnews.com
This is very different from the LR headline. I think he's saying what he needs to say to avoid worry.![]()

Now I have more doubts about his shape.
Why too late? Seems very illogical.
He is not used to Kigali, humidity and air quality specially. You don't have this in Europe.It's rather logical, to be in and to keep good form, coming from the altitude just after having a quality training block in the legs. Heat and humidity is something Rogla is good at adapting to and handling. Less smog as i assume roads will be closed on Sunday. A bit less exposure to possible illness.
So a couple of briefings, some mingling and reconnaissance, then lets do it, everybody knows why they are here for.
You can simulate this. At least that's what Hermans did. Not sure if Roglic did this too.He is not used to Kigali, humidity and air quality specially. You don't have this in Europe.
It's not that unusual...I for one am absolutely shocked Pogacar isn't exactly saying what he's gonna do
First of all, it's his opinion. Can he have it?Pogacar is a great champion, but him saying wollongong was no good sounded a bit churlish.
I'd almost like to see Pogacar have a bad season and win almost nothing. Just to see if he remains smiling.
Odds are he won't. Which would be only natural. what champion would be happy not winning. It's just that his fans have a skewed view. Now i'm also wondering what he said about Glasgow. That constant turning was far more controversial.
I guess i'm starting to have a similar sentiment that other people have towards remco fans. I like pogacar himself, but some of his fans.. they be annoying.
Most interesting quote IMO. He doesn't feel comfortable in the TT bike.
Does that make it difficult to predict how you will feel?
"When I arrived here, my legs weren't at their best. Since I switched to the road bike, there have been no more problems. I'm accustomed to the conditions, and my legs are responding well."

"Since I switched, there have been no more problems": Tadej Pogacar speaks out ahead of the World Championships
Tadej Pogacar celebrated his 27th birthday last Sunday, but there wasn't much for the Slovenian to celebrate. During the individual World Championship time trial in Kigali, he was overtaken just befor...www.idlprocycling.com
But you also need to be very strong if you want to do a long solo. You can easily go over your limit and explode.Florian Vermeersch said something similar.
It will be an interesting WC, though perhaps a bit boring. With people saying that once you go in the red it's harder to recover. Draft being less helpfull, ... . i'm guessing this will create a quick natural selection 100 km's of the finish line.
And than 1 or 2 major attacks which will leave the rest unable to recover and gasping in the dust. If Pogacar (and to a far lesser extent Del Toro and/or Remco as also rans) don't win this, i'll be very surprised indeed.
