Teams & Riders Tadej Pogačar discussion thread

[Extinction]

That's hardly the point. But you can't have it both ways, expect him to attack the race early and then complain he gets isolated early as a result.

Nah, I think he learned a lesson from the last Tour experience or if he hasn't he is a blockhead. I mean there is attacking with cognitio causarum and attacking just because it's cavalier and puts piss and vinegar into the gesture. From here out, I think Tadej shall attack with the former condition not the latter.

 

[Valv.Piti]

Once again, Vingegaard glimmers with his absence. That guy, honestly...

He's riding a very important race in Asia.

Said no one ever, but thats what hes nevertheless doing.

I know, Rolf said it during yesterday's transmission.

 

[Mayomaniac]

I guess the best supporting cast for him for the next Tour is probably Bjerg, Trentin, Laengen, Formolo, McNulty, Majka, A. Yates? Some guys who can work on the flat, good guys for the hilly stages and 2 (maybe even 3) potential climbing superdomestiques.

Today he's competing in Giro De Rigo in Colombia! It's a race organized by Rigorberto Uran of course.

Where they do laps around Rigoberto Uran!

Of course! And they wear big hats, as is tradition.

 

[Bolder]

Is that his initials razored into his hair?

Yes I think he got a new haircut there in Colombia too

 

[Lequack]

He's still in Colombia racing against groups of amateur cyclists using motopacing. Apparently he sped up to 85km/h behind the moto.

Other than that he's been exploring nature with Rigo and his gf

Wait, they aren‘t doing laps around Rigoberto Uran? Or maybe the laps are just slightly longer.

 

[Escarabajo]

He is having a very good time. Pogacar looks to be very simple guy. Not very complicated with his answers, just what he thinks. People are loving it. Very nice!

 

[Red Rick]

Bit embarrassing if you're the best cyclist in the world that your gf has better tan lines than you.

Maybe he does his home training at night. That’s why he does better in the cold.

Maybe proof that Remco is the best cyclist in the world?

 

[Eeslliw]

No way, Remco in ashamed to be cyclist. I saw him numerous times rolling his sleeves up in training to blur tan lines.

Tells you a lot about cycling that a failed skijumper and a failed footballer are among the best 5 rider in the world

Does it?

It is not too late to give it a go?

Correction: not a failed skijumper.....a broken skijumper.

You go where the money is and Asian faux racing gets the top guys after the Tour. It's all for show and a few buck$. Kinda like Belgian post-Tour criteriums.

To be fair, one was a World Champ in his prior sport.
No sh*t. Can you imagine a cycling team of Ingebrigtsen's? How about a DK Metcalf (NFL exception WR for Euros) slimmed down to about 180lbs? You'd have the Alpha version of WvA....
It takes a special mentality to enjoy training 20-30 hrs a week to maintain form. Most people with more conventional jobs would admit being paid for about 100% more hours than they actually work and they are largely sitting down. They also have a disproportionate amount of time to critique' athletes in sports they never played.

 

[Oldermanish]

Hopefully it's not to remind him who he is....

It's pretty wild over in Colombia, now they're doing wife swapping

He continues to prove why he is the best rider in the world.
