Teams & Riders Tadej Pogačar discussion thread

[mou]

Matxin is the best scout in the world and has top contacts in the world, as a tactician he is 0 and persistently interferes in the work of DS, the only DS expert in that team at an acceptable level is Fabio Baldato, 2+2 is always 4, if Pogacar is so far was trained by a quasi-trainer who only prescribed endurance rides of 5W/kg and FTP 15 min intervals 2 times a week after zone 2 and the rest of his training was based on prescribing training from training peaks, imagine what can happen when a top-level coach takes over Sola, if one Yates progressed from 32 years old after 1 year of working with him, how much Pogi will progress 🤭, UAE has the best TT setup in the world, Pogačar finally has a coach who trains him with a Core device for heat training and for the first time you could see Pogacar in Strade Bianche to wear Core attached to a heart rate strap, he finally has real training and intervals for hills for the first time in his career and he will have properly conducted altitude training after the Giro, I can't tell you how I know all that, but believe me I have insight firsthand in all that, how else would I show you Pogačar's part from training on 24.2.2024 and that his 349w is 5.33w/kg as a base training and FTP 431w, that he will be 20% better is frankly a little too hasty, but if could predict for the Giro Pogacar will be at 65 kg, at both TTs he will win, at 15 min he will have 7.3 w/kg, at 20 min 7 w/kg, at 30 min hill 6.7 and at 40+ min hill he will have 6.5 w/ kg and on the Tour kg less and the strength is the same, so if Vingegard gets that from me, he has 👏👏👏👏

currently Pogacar on a 20 min hill has 6.7 w/kg after 4 hours of driving of 5w/kg and the plan is for the Giro to have 6.9w/kg and for the tour 7.0w/kg, Javier Sola is currently basing his training on 5 and 20 min power , after Catalunya there will be 30+ min of hills and at Altitude after Giro 40+ min of hills, don't forget that I have a code from Pogačar Training peaks and that I know what is being done at all times, TT training was seriously approached and I can only tell you that in the middle of February, a TT was held between Pogacar, Bjerg and Ayuso on a 30 km pan flat course in Valencia and the results were as follows: Bjerg 33:58, Ayuso 33:40, Pogačar 32.44, so much for Ayuso, the best TT, quality intervals were introduced in Pogacarev training, it's no longer boring like 4 hours ago Inigo zone 2, training was introduced 2 times a week on a TT bike, heat training with Core was introduced, private exercises were introduced in Monaco with Alex Bacilli, a top expert, briefly imagine what Pogacar was like until 2024 and what will it be like with all these improvements in equipment and training and San Millan can continue to train Ayuso, Almeida and Mcnulty and ask yourself how much those 3 have progressed and how much they needed considering the talent, this Pogačar from Strade Bianche is at 85 %, for the Giro there will be no savings and it will be at 100%, and for the Tour everything is planned as for the Giro, only 1 kg less, i.e. 64 kg

Really hope he doesn't improve much, vingegaard neither. It's already ridiculous and a net loss for entertainment quite often.

Imagine if stuff like trainingpeaks was around 15 years ago, the nutcases who used to stalk Contador would've had a field day.

I am fairly certain at least two posters here had a pair of his dirty bike shorts. Not sure if this rises to that level.

So long as it resembles clean sport (lol), I don't mind seeing the very best dictating races to their abilities.

best grand tour selection: Bjerg (Pollit), Domen Novak (Pogi assistant, water bottles, gels, protection from the wind), Wellens (Pogi man for mild and explosive hills), Morgado (for covering the escape in the initial 50km on medium hills), Majka (road captain Pogi, the most important man for the atmosphere in the team and for the 1st tow on the hills), Del Toro (the tow of more serious attacks 2-3 tiers-Hindley, Kuss), Yates (the last man for big hills), Pogi..... ..everyone else is either not good enough or brings a problem to the team

Not gonna lie. Numbers given by Mou look scary but he actually sounds believable.

Teddy reckoning Poggio:

I can't wait to MSR. Will he finally prevail in the race? Will MVP smash everyone again or be weaker this time around? Will another guy make his decisive move on the descent? Will we have some action on Cipressa?

 

[Netserk]

I can't wait to MSR. Will he finally prevail in the race?

Yes. I'm so ready to get my mind blown on the Poggio.

 

[Ripper]

Yes. I'm so ready to get my mind blown on the Poggio.

Teddy going full T Power will be a clinical destruction of the field. It will be like a beaker going off in the lab. ET dropping a nuke ...

 

[Netserk]

For Sanremo, I will even post the Oppenheimer .gif. Other riders will literally blow up if they stay too close to Pogi when he detonates!

 

[Valv.Piti]

Lmao this guy, Imagine if that's the truth. 85% of his capabilities in Strade? Then we are in for a historic year..

Maybe he means mental capabilities and when he wisens up he just starts racing more passively

It's not about wisening up, it's about more power:

There ain't no party like a Teddy P party

 

[Valv.Piti]

If that was 85%, all I know is that Pogi could win the Giro at 75% max.

The only thing Im really, really bummed about with his planning this year is the fact that he won't ride my favorite race. And I will even be in attendance in Flanders.. all good if he beats Vingegaard in July though. Il Giro? Meh, if were to trust the TrainingPeaks-hacker, he will win with 15 minutes at minumum. I guess that will be somewhat entertaining in itself.

 

[mou]

Pogacar attacks stage 1-2, first TT, Prati di Tivo, second TT and all together takes a 4 minute advantage and after that there is control so there won't be a 15 minute advantage because the Tour is waiting for him....

 

[Krzysztof_O]

I'm almost starting to think that Mou is Teddy himself!

 

[mou]

I'll just tell you that if Pogi went to Tireno, he would sweep Vingegard like this by 25 seconds on the TT and in the sprint smoothly yesterday and today, Jonas wouldn't question anything about that

 

[mou]

here is another "secret" why Vingo is better than Pogi in the 3rd week of the tour, Pogi's biggest problem until this year was the heat of 33+ degrees and it slowly drains his energy and he doesn't have the recovery he would otherwise have and he is a fighter and he gives more than 100% both mentally and physically and that comes to the fore in the 3rd week where he breathes through his gills, he has the best recovery of all, including Vingegard, and we would see that at the Giro where Vingegard will never, ever beat Pogi where the temperatures are up to 20 degrees and rainy weather, since this is the first time Pogacar has been working with heat training properly since he got rid of that charlatan Inigo and wore at Strade Bianche Core device for the 1st time in his life, put on a heart rate strap and the info I have is that the heat training will be started seriously after Catalunya

It never occurred to me Vingo is ducking pogi at the giro! Good stuff bro! I’m ready for all of this!!
