Teams & Riders Tadej Pogačar discussion thread

G**T!

Now that they named the guy he’s going to get a lifetime crap from his friends and family, which will have to serve as his penance.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

G**T!

I sure hope he doesn't have gout (neither Pogi nor the old man).

Will Teddy be sleeping well tonight?

maybe with some unpleasant dreams of Granon, Hautacam or Col de la Loze. The worst might be actually about Col de la Joux Plane - always looking back and ..... stilll there

He should transform pain in additional motivation. Not a good news since TDF is round the corner and he should be focused only on this.

Will he defend his Slovenian title then if he‘s already there or will he stay with his family?

Stay with family ofc! Registrations already done.

Pogacar forgives Renato Favero who pushed him on Monte Grappa: «I won't report that fan, he's an old man»

(in italiano)

Tadej Pogacar perdona Renato Favero che l'ha spinto sul Grappa: «Non denunciate il tifoso, è un anziano»

Lo sloveno non chiederà i danni. Adam Hansen (sindacato corridori): «Il Cpa ha esaminato la possibilità di sporgere denuncia, ma l'atleta non vuole»

Race organizers should require hands off the athletes. This is assault under any other condition

Lol, what a question 😂

Idk where this came from. Today i saw him giving a message to the Slovenian national team for their euros game while on his uae colors likely at isola

Yeah, they can publish it in the T&C when you purchase your tickets, and print a reminder on said ticket.

If this is normally assault, then why do race organizers have to ban it themselves?

Can you translate to me?

His grandfather died, he has left altitude camp 3 days earlier than planned in order to be with family in Slovenia.

Pogacar had to end the altitude training three days earlier than expected due to the death of his grandfather


Tadej Pogacar lost his grandfather a few days ago. The Slovenian from UAE Team Emirates, top favorite for the upcoming Tour de France, therefore had to cancel his altitude training three earlier than expected.

Setback in the run-up to the Tour de France for Tadej Pogacar. After his victory in the Giro, the Slovenian seemed to have had a flawless preparation for the Tour, but a few days ago he received sad news during his altitude training camp in Isola 2000, France - the death of his grandfather. Pogacar rushed back to Slovenia to be with his family.

The altitude training, which started on June 3, ended three days later than expected. The preparation for the Tour was slightly disrupted in terms of training, but the death of his grandfather will probably mainly be a blow mentally.

Pogacar will soon try to become the first rider since Marco Pantani in 1998 to win the Giro and the Tour in the same season. The first part of that mission has already been completed, the second will begin on June 29 in Florence.

Horrible news.

Pre recorded messages exist But it is kinda strange because I could not find anything in Slovenian media. Usually they jump on this kind of news immediately.

 

[Extinction]

The death of a beloved grandfather is indeed sad, but he will draw strength from riding in his memory.

Why would he need to pre record or is he a prophet? The article on hln said his grand father died few days ago but today he was giving a message to the team for their special game against serbia.

Maybe because he does not have time to go live exact time Slovenia plays and most of those messages are pre-recorded

I found the obituary and apparently man named Franc Štebe (his grandfather's name) died on 11th of June and funeral was 13th of June. So there is something there.

 

[Oldermanish]

Tough news for he and his family. I hope he draws some inspiration from this.

So he left 3 days before his original schedule, lol
This propaganda on the goat thread is unacceptable. No spoilers, the goat is doing well and is gonna obliterate everyone in july!

It used to be that the Giro in the legs fostered deep form in the Tour, but everything has so radically changed since then. Pantani started the 98 Tour decidedly off key, but then rose to insurmountable heights. Hinault started the 85 Tour flying and was strong throughout, but then Lemond, who also rode the Giro at a high level, was in the end papabile. Indurain was on top form in both GTs when he won them in the same year consecutively. So the precedents are there.
