I hope for Pogacars sake he’s lost that kilo or so by then

Q36.5s tt setup looks cracked too, even Sjoerd Bax looks incredible, could be TROUBLE on the horizon for Pog, lets go champ!

Relax.

Even a fat Pogacar will eat fisherman alive come July.

Why? There is zero competition for him in Suisse.

Good behaviour from the fan.
This first week is just zone 2 ride so fans can get a free a ride in the Pogacar's wheel.

Yeah, it looks like Pog will need those extra days at altitude because he still looks like a snail.

Lol, normally Teddy's Z2 is deadly for mortals. It's around 5 w/kg.
Pogi should prepare to fight for green against big boys, not for yellow against skeletons.

Precisely my point. Pogacar in his January rides makes mortals have near death experiences and here in May a random bloke is doing selfies and trolling Pog if it's okay to suck wheels.

I was going to say the same thing, easily riding up on Pogs shoulder. Pog was even rocking a little bit while this guy was talking

There's hope for Pogi only if this random bloke was Andrew Feather: British lawyer and hill climbing specialist.

He can improve by 20 watts a day. There's no reason to panic until the first stage of the Tour.

Not an English accent, sounds like Robert Forstemann

He is very fit. Doing 279 watts in 22' is very good for an amateur.

Yeah but Pogi's rivals at the Tour will probably be a bit fitter...

 

[canina82]

But since he was riding on Pogacar's wheel, Pogacar was probably pushing higher watts (don't know the man's weight). This amateur was clearly riding comfortably in Pogacar's normal zone 2.

Yes, and the amateur only got dropped afterwards because he started feeling bad when Pogi attacked and he couldn’t drop him!
I think the only way to save the season is to skip the Tour and go to the Vuelta a España instead.

No worries. Green jersey at the Tour is still a great achievement, especially when combined with a couple of breakaway wins in the mountains.

We will have a better look at TdS.

Then, fisherman can start praying for death.

Fisherman has been sick. Let's see if he has another gear for the Tour.

 

[Coppi-Bartali]

He doesn't usually train on a time trial bike until before the Tour, but there's a flat 23km time trial in Switzerland. Will he start training on a time trial bike?

He already is, with the new helmet also

Yes, he will win every stage in TdS.

This year, TTs are not important. It's basically a hilly TT with a lot of downhill.

 

[canina82]

He is in Sierra Nevada and he is already on week 2. Things will start to get serious, however it's a shame we don't have any information about his training and who is with him (except Del Toro). Even Seixas and other riders are in silence with their preparation. I know it's better for them to not have any media (or fans) disrupting their training but it sucks for us (cycling fans).
