Teams & Riders Tadej Pogačar discussion thread

[VayaVayaVaya]

I read this morning Vingo is the greatest GT rider of a generation and is only chasing legends from other eras at this point.

Maybe pogi can take notice

What you read this morning was that he should chase GT legends rather than get his ass kicked by Pogi in RVV. It really got to you though, huh?

Vingo is the strongest GT rider of this generation.

I think we can all agree on that.


Personally i think he is the strongest GT rider of this century. (Palmares is a different matter).

You can think whatever you like. Claiming we all agree on that is a bit rich, though…

I for one think this generation is not even close to halfway through with their racing and any such claim at this point is ridiculous.

I know. That’s essentially what was said

It didn’t bother me. But personally I think Vingo might win a little more before we get too crazy

On the other hand, if he, Vingegaard, were not the most aerobically efficient we've ever seen, Pogacar would not be settling for a Giro win.

He has to win the giro first

In top form and without incident, I'd bet on him.

I always thought he was settling for the double…

What you really mean with this? Can you explain please? I didn't understood.

It’s only the start of the 2024 season. There could be other riders that perform this year or next and be at an even higher level than Vingegaard. Like how we went from Bernal to Pogacar and to Vingegaard as who’s going to dominate the GT scene.

 

[Elos Anjos]

All Pogacar needs to hit the history books as the best rider of his generation is to have about more three or four seasons like the past three he had.

The title of “best of his generation” has changed the address at least twice in the last 5 years. It looks like we will have to wait a bit longer to draw any conclusions.

Sure you ( @Froome ) may believe Jonas will come on top in the end - if he keeps this up for a few more years, he will… But until he does, there will be no “agreement” on this board regarding who the best GT rider of a generation is.

 

[Froome]

See the post below:

Yes, someday it will happen, maybe it will be somebody from the same team like uijdtbroeks, but i think vingegaard, pogacar, remco and roglic will still be the best GC riders at least in the next 2 years.

The level of Bernal wasn't that high, so naturally appeared somebody better, it's not the case at the moment.

I wouldn't sleep on Ayuso, he lost a bit of hype last year after missing the Vuelta podium that he had gotten the year before but I don't think his numbers were any worse and he was still the best non-Jumbo despite spending a few months injured.

He is my fifth favourite for this year's Tour and it wouldn't surprise me if he finishes on the podium. I actually think his ceiling as a Grand Tour rider is a bit higher than Remco's.

I agree with ayuso. Personally i think uijdtbroeks and ayuso are the most young promising GT riders for the future.

Yes, he will be the best allrounder. Not the best climber, not the best stage racer and certainly not the best GT rider. If he can't beat Vingegaard in the biggest race of the year it should be obvious.

Predictions about the future like yours are just another kind of astrology. A lot of forum users write like they are standing in the cloud number 9 of cycling.

You think he will ever get a ITT good enough? I have my doubts.

He needs to eat better breakfasts to get more energy in stages like la loze.

Brave.

He has room for a lot of improvement, but it will be concerning for uijdtbroeks ff he doesn't improve anything this year in the ITT.

 

[Red Rick]

I honestly can't think of the last time someone was a bigger favorite to win a GT.
