Teams & Riders Tadej Pogačar discussion thread

say what you want, but I wouldn't bring Ayuso to the Tour, it's clear to Almeida who's the boss and he'll be an excellent assistant, unlike that little jealous Spaniard, I'd go with little Del Toro instead of him

Yoyo isn't a good helper.

You are right mate, almeida as a super domestique is very good, adam yates the same. They should go with mcnulty instead of ayuso.

The main problem is that, looking at the performance of today, Pogacar doesn't have the power to beat Vingegaard in the Tour. I expected a lot more after hearing your statements.

Just 15 s better than ciccone? C'mon buddie.

Maybe the tatic of UAE is going with ayuso to attack with a lot of leaders, and trying to break Vingegaard, because emirates staff don't believe Pogi can do it alone.

Are you trolling or being serious? Asking since you’re repeating this over and over. The weather conditions makes a pretty big time difference I would assume, wheter it’s 10 seconds or 30 seconds I have no idea of, but it seems pretty stupid to just repeat “15 seconds better than Ciccone” without context.

Not to mention Pogacar letting up at about a KM to go. Someone already said his strava was about a minute faster than Evenepoel’s last year and that was in a sprint for the win.

 

[Cookster15]

He was about ten seconds faster than Ciccone last year. Javier Sola is a charlatan and a bald fraud.

How much would the weather slow him and what was the official time anyway? Poursuivant posted above that it was a record and the huge gaps over everyone else would seem to confirm this. e.g. Enric Mas who is always a good benchmark at +1'49" and Kuss + 2'03".

He also didn't launch his attack until 6.5km from the summit. On paper this seems as impressive as anything Vingegaard has shown recently.

 

[Barkintheeye]

Nice! That's a statement for the next big races to come.

The conversation about bad weather for Pogacar is BS. Yes, the majority of the riders suffer more in bad weather, but Pogacar it's opposite, based on the claims Pogacar and the UAE perfomance staff said in the past. Yes, Pogacar already said he is better in bad weather, it suits him, and you just need to remember romme/colombiere where the weather was even worse than today.

So, the conditions for Pogacar today were very good, and he disappointed a lot, specially because of silly statements that he was going to be a lot better this year.

 

[Elos Anjos]

@ users that can't tell the difference between weather conditions that suit a rider and the same weather conditions delaying any given rider.

 

[mou]

guys, relax, I told you nicely, but you persistently don't listen, in the next 4 years, Pog will not lose a single one-week and grand tour race, everything else is not important, and that is as safe as in your safe, today was a bit stronger training that he works in Monaco, you persistently deny the fact who is writing about Pog, someone very familiar with the situation

He disappointed a lot? . To the contrary - I am not basing this on anything mou has posted either. Today from Pogacar must surely match anything we have seen from Vingegaard so far this season? Its only March and Pogacar needs to measure his efforts for the season ahead - unlike Vingegaard. Yet huge gaps opened in just 6.5Km and Catalunya has a strong field of climbers.

The field was very weak today, but it's also because i expected a bit more from guys like Kuss.

When i see chris harper in 6th place 1 min 40 down.....

from the best cyclist 2019-2023 with San Millan, Pog 2024 GOAT with Javier Sola and that's not because Sola is a miracle, but because he introduced modern training at the level of Ineos, Bora, etc. you have no idea how fraudulent and ignorant Millan is, he lives in the 20th century with his zone 2, and nothing else exists, neither TT training, nor heat training, nor intervals, scammer.....

It was a good effort, but nothing not expected from pogi. Don't think you can really compare the routes of this with most of what Jonas has done so fare. As for competition, it's up to you to rate ayuso and hindly against vlasov and landa.

 

[Netserk]

The field was similar to last year's field below Rogla and Evenepoel. Or Itzulia below Vingegaard.

Pogacar did better performances with San millan, than the perfomance he did today.

Maybe the inclusion of the Stelvio at the 2024 Giro d'Italia isn't going to be dull after all?

 

[mou]

pog stated that he is not tired at all and that if Groschartner, who has stomach problems, and Novak are not too tired, he will go for victory again tomorrow, for the peloton it will be like bringing cattle to the slaughter, their fate is known

 

[Valv.Piti]

Problem is he is 10 minutes up at that point. 5 with Millan, but at least 10 with Sola

 

[Red Rick]

Why are people still acting as if on climbs 8000 desnivel stages he isn't only behind Vingegaard

 

[mou]

you know what I would do now in Pog's place and create an unprecedented hype with it, perform in Flanders😆😆😆😆😆 just to see the face of Wout and VDP, from Flanders 2024 I would make the biggest race ever...

"Joao shut the *** up you can do Almeida things after you drop everyone for me"

Any manager that allows pogi to go for KOM records at a race like this deserves to find a different job.
