Teams & Riders Tadej Pogačar discussion thread

Can't believe there are people who complain that Pogi is over hyped.
Evenepoel has a bigger fan base and his level is an order of magnitude under him.

Imagine Messi having as much hype as like Kevin De Bruyne and calling him over hyped 🤣

Sorry Goat. I still doubt you. What a ride!

 

[snipeheem]

The greatest ever and its not close , dont even start with Merckx BS

Sorry Goat. I still doubt you. What a ride!

I was reading all the messages after the TT, I was telling everybody they had no idea what was coming and they all doubted. This year he was quite a lot stronger than in zurich 2024

 

[Peyroteo94]

He is gonna win this with a 1'30" gap. Alone!

 

[Peyroteo94]

The difference between this WC and AGR is quite telling. He suffered from PR.

I'm enjoying every meter thinking the *** written one week ago. As I predicted, he put everyone at their place. Here and there( socials too)

How much Pogacar hates time trial bike to have done such a mediocre time trial, he would have finished second.
There's no point in complaining because Remco is far superior in time trials and was unbeatable the other day, but Pogacar should have been superior to Vine and Van Wilder.

The lack of time trial training. He only does it in the Tour out of obligation. We have to focus on the positives; thanks to that, he was in Rwanda for seven days and has acclimatized. Because unlike others, he didn't do alttitude camp before Rwanda.

👑 is back. Really strong statement, a little bit surprising for me.

Sorry Goat. I still doubt you. What a ride!

No worries a lot of us did. After last week TT i doubted as well

 

[Salvarani]

What a win!

What a race!

Congrats GOAT

That was amazing

Another incredible win for the GOAT. Beautiful to watch.

First rider ever to win the Tour+Worlds in two consecutive years.

PR has been underestimated. It's not just a one-day race; behind a day there are weeks of training and weight gain.

The other day, some want to bring back the old routes so Remco can have the time trial, but the old routes had 250-kilometer mountain stages. One year, in aa Tour of Anquetil, the queen stage was 300 km

Pogacar would slaughter them all, and the time trial disadvantage wouldn't matter.

Vingegaard hasn't proven himself a 200-kilometer rider either. I think Pogacar would benefit from routes from decades past.

That's the reality, although people can keep complaining. But we saw at Mont Kigali what he would do. Remco may have had a problem, but in every race where there's a mountain, he's always inferior to Pogacar. He's never been on his wheel in a a mountain like Mount Kigali, never.

And the Tour's mountains are tougher. Imagine Pogacar on old routes with those long mountain stages. Vingegaard is another cyclist with 250km syndrome.

1st rider ever to win TdF and WC 2 times in a row!

 

[Lorzenz08]

Incredible, history is being written

 

[Lorzenz08]

Merckx didnt outclass his peers the way Pogi does.

Pogi is by far the GOAT

 

[Peyroteo94]

Another big solo in one week. Other in 2 weeks.

 

[Rou]

A higher level performance than his 2024 World's win. He didn't show any sign of slowing down!
Chapeau!

 

[Savant12]

Congrats to the GOAT once again. Must have been mentally difficult to overcome the disappointment of the ITT but his legs did the talking again. Super strong all day.

 

[BigCoward]

Merckx didnt outclass its peers the way Pogi does.

Pogi is by far the GOAT

This is objectively not remotely true.

 

[Salvarani]

Could see him skip EC and do Emilia instead.

 

[Miha81]

He always seems to amaze me. Once again I thought he attacked too early but made it stick (and it looked easy).

 

[yaf2]

What a win!

What a race!

Congrats GOAT

That was amazing

The most impressive win of his career! Not only had to fight against the riders but also against bs motorcyclists for 70 kms. Won the worlds against the world!! Absolute Goat👏👏👏

 

[Rou]

Could see him skip EC and do Emilia instead.

Why? Makes no sense. A good opportunity to tick that one off as well.

 

[Salvarani]

Why? Makes no sense. A good opportunity to tick that one off as well.

I dont think he really cares about the EC and he won here so is happy with that.
