A long mountain sprint.

Magnificent win for Pogačar today, honouring the Giro in the best way possible while demolishing the rest of the field in the process.

Now, just follow wheels please. However, what a fantastic show young man! You're the real deal!

 

[jmdirt]

Congrats Tadej!

 

[Gigs_98]

Now that's a spectacular state win!

I was wrong. He attacked with 6 to go, not 5.

That was the most impressive big chainring climbing I have ever seen. It's also rare that you visually can see it so clearly that he just goes multiple kilometres faster than the rest

He is a beast in 6/7 % climbs. His engine is out of this world!

Are you not entertained? Just kidding,maybe he saw your post claiming he was boring during this Giro

Unbelievable climbing. He needs to dial it back now and save for the Tour. If he can bring this level to the Tour, I can’t see who can beat him. Remco shouldn’t take much in ITTs, Roglic’s best hope is to hang onto his wheel and out kick him here and there, but he’s never done anything like this to any field that I’m aware of. Vingegaard won’t be able to ride with him if he isn’t 100%.

4 wins and a gc win in coming. The last one was my beloved piccolo principe with his legendary Saeco jersey! Good old times!

 

[Miha81]

Now I am impressed regardless of competition level. He can go in a cruise mode in week 3 and still win in dominant fashion.

 

[Extinction]

Simply un-believable.

 

[Valv.Piti]

This must have been what its like watching Robo-Basso. Now we just need him to drop someone who think they will be allowed to win the stage

Quintana on stage 20? Or does it need to be a GC rider?

How is it possible that today is one of the freshest days he has ever looked after finishing a stage in this Giro?

 

[Peyroteo94]

Next week it is raining. Not good news for sunday rides!

Maybe because he was still waiting for the Stelvio at the end but there was a finish line instead. Now he's got the Giro in the bloody BAG, TKO.

As Mou said he is better than ever.

The double is almost already home

We add WC and Lombardia on top

Let's make a big assumption here that the first two goals are met.

Should pogi rethink the Vuelta participation?

Let's not jinx him now. He still has at least 4 weeks of GT racing before facing other goals this season.

 

[Salvarani]

What a legendary win!

The GOAT

One thing I was starting to wonder is, if Mercx GT stage win record might actually be achievable for him. Today puts Pogacar at 18 (equaling Peter Sagan btw) while Mercx has 64. So this is obviously a record he would have to achieve by extreme longevity, but if he can win around 4 stages per GT, he will "only" be about 11 GTs away after this Giro. If he starts doing multiple GTs per year I don't think that record is out of the question.
