Teams & Riders Tadej Pogačar discussion thread

[Peyroteo94]

Sivakov uploaded a instastory today with Wellens and Pogi.

Thanks mate. So everyone is there bar Politts?

I am curious to see if Almeida and Yates will join Pogi in the altitude training camp. They will probably finish on Sunday, maybe they can join them for 3/4 days.

I’ve read the standard “dose” for gains from altitude is at least 2 weeks, but I guess a few days doing it wouldn’t hurt.

It is absolutely not that simple. Doing it wrong can very well do more harm than good.

That's a shame. No true sage does that.

Nils is defending his time trial title on thursday and will also start the road race on sunday.

He took far more personal criticism than he dished out

Thanks. Maybe don't like altitude training.

 

[Froome]

Thanks. Maybe don't like altitude training.

It's not about like or not altitude training, except if your name is Pedersen. It's about the benefits of the altitude.

There is riders who can't benefit from altitude because they're body doesn't responde well to the effects of the altitude.

That's why not every rider do altitude training camps, or other riders do more time in altitude because they benefit more from the effects of altitude.

The usual pre race BS, on where everybody is supposedly better than Rogla. And on how UAE will take first 8 spots in GC. I guess just like JV did, when they still were a level above the rest.

The messages of how weak vingegaard is seem to primarily be coming from Velo news and American writers who want the Americans on the team to take the lead of the team. I think all being equal atleast Pog doesn’t do as well in the huge mountains as vingegaard although he may be better now than Roglic at climbing although it might be very close. Roglic has crashed so many times we haven’t seen them one on one in the mountains in several years proper.

So Pogi won't sue the fan and at the football match in between Slovenia and Denmark he appeared on the big screen saying Kdor ne skače, ni Sloven'c.

The mind games involved!

10 days to go. Time to sharp the watts machine!! Go go Tadej!

No way? Was he really put on the screen during the game or are you joking ? Regarding the camp their on anyone know since their all there besides Politt, is anyone there planning to do the nationals I know Pogacar wont but the rest there? I just guess i wonder how Pogacar and they are planning on staying at altitude.

So you presume he wasn't jumping during the game?

Maxtin upbeat about the team and Pogacar saying he wasn't tired after the Giro and that there's absolutely nothing negative. He also stays at altitude until Monday (three days longer than was stated before), which is probably good news regarding his post-Giro recovery and form.

Gonne be fun to see another double attempt again been a while since the great Froome did it.

I have my doubts from history alone and all that blabla and personally think the double presents challenges exceeding X' and O's but if theres anyone doing it its him ofc. Gonne be fun to see how much his performance drop if its at 90% i believe it maby is enough tho i have no idea. Gonne be fun to see

from the article he went to Isola at 4 juni and gonne go home 24?

Whats the reason for the extra stay was it duo to taking longer time to recover than anticipated or just want more km in the legs i guess are essential there but if they say nothing is negative I guess its posetive.

Yup, 4-24 June. After the Giro it was said till Friday, 21 of June IIRC (but maybe they started one day later, 4th instead of 3rd, which was maybe the initial plan).

My guess would be a longer stay at altitude wouldn't be for recovery. Altitude doesn't enhance that in any way. If he's responding well to intervals or he's rested enough to polish off some long efforts he probably is just doing extra-credit preparation.

I thought maby they wanted to stay longer duo to the start of the camp he needed to recover a bit longer than anticipated before beeing able to push at normal levels and therefor beeing longer kinda thing. But yeah your properly right, it make sense.

They want über-form for the Tour. Their assumption must be that an in-form Vingo could be their main rival.

That seems reasonable. Or he thought the views were nice and the weather was better
