Teams & Riders Tadej Pogačar discussion thread

[velaso montador]

It is a very long climb at altitude and more important, first real test in the Tour! Some legs will be undercooked so UAE will rip this stage apart. No doubt we will have big gaps.

I can agree on that part but still confused as why this partical stage suit him more relative than others. Agree however that it will be gaps tho I would be surprised if as big as you think in that terrain. Only part I dont like its the downhill if its rain like projected especially

80k solo for comrade mou

I'm here at your disposal Sir.

I am trying to find a reason for him to be bluffing (but can't find one), if he isn't... oh dear, this Tour is over.

No he aint bluffing, imagine him doing 8.3 w/kg for 12 minutes and the media and the peleton going nuts bringing back the days of lance and in the 1st week press conference he be like, i told u early in the year that i reached a point where i strive to be the best ever and i even sent a random guy to a cycling thread so this chaos wont happen

What are you smoking bro? Must be good ***.

So much propaganda and hype, only to get kicked in the ass for the third year in a row and fade at some stage.

First stage has lot of flat at the end, so he cant go solo. Buf he could go with a group of about 20 without Vingegaard, that is possible, depends how is Vingegaard, but he should try it.

In that case, If Van aert can be in that group, or Jorgesson? what to do? stay behind to minimze damage, or in the case of Van Aert stay ahead and win the stage, especially if Van der Poel is not...

Tactical stage and very interesting. what is for sure is if 2 or his superdomestiques are in that Group, thay are going to get the end-
Stage of Galibier...I am not sure. That kind of long climbs are nor his best, but of course he can put a minute to everybody. If it is only one to Vingegaard, this one will have his options to win at the end of the race. Very interesting start..This year we have an stage more, so the race finish with an ITT, and start with the Mountain at the begining, so,more tome for GC fight than other edition,,and more likely to change thing at the end of the race.

Teddy will average 8.3 w/kg on Galibier. After the stage mou will resurrect and the majority of riders will withdraw from the race.

If 7,3 for 15 happens we owe him a whiskey bottle

Never understood why some people was upset with what he said he literally had inside knowledge why that was threatening to some randoms on a forum is wild/sad to me whatever you like.

I think Pogacar again even tho with the giro in the legs crush everyone. Hes not hurt and has been able to train usually noone stands a chance then, nothing new.

The media says the big 4
The big 4 says the big 1
Lol

 

[velaso montador]

I see everyone is really excited about the Galibier stage, it may be just me who dont think huge gaps will happen there, i might be wrong he has defied logic many times before.

But I hope Evenpoel, Roglic, Rodriguez and Vingegaard all stay with Pogacar there. Lets see im ready for summer and le tour and everything else have a blast fellow cyclefans.

 

[Põhja Konn]

You are gonna be disappointed if you think there will be big gaps in the first 13 stages.

Completely depends on how good Pogacar actually is. If he is anywhere close to his top form, there's no chance he waits for two weeks before showing it.

Gaps will be made, riders will risk everything in the descent, someone will crash

That is "nothing". 7 w/kg of FTP is not TdF winner material.

Vingegaard is going to be left wondering why he showed up by stage 5.

Do you remember people complaining about Foscagno? Pogacar destroyed the field there.

 

[Froome]

Personal desires are very different from reality.

I’m not the one that’s been in denial about Vingegaard’s condition.

 

[Froome]

I’m not the one that’s been in denial about Vingegaard’s condition.

How do you know about Vingegaard's condition? Unless you work at Visma, nobody knows the real condition of Vingegaard.

 

[Peyroteo94]

After stage 2, we will know his condition. I think he can't follow there but it would be huge if he can follow Rodriguez, Yates, Roglic there.

 

[Jack_89]

I predict >=1 minute in the GC at the end of stage 4. Would be a good looting.

 

[SHAD0W93]

How do you know about Vingegaard's condition? Unless you work at Visma, nobody knows the real condition of Vingegaard.

I know the injury he had and how hard the recovery is, on top of the sport that he does and the conditions it requires. Then add in the actual stress of the race. This isn’t like the Vuelta last year coming in undercooked due to enjoying his Tour win. Something will give due to his poor prep and his body won’t be able to compensate for it anymore. Add in we just saw Visma hope Kuss will be better and it not happen. They’ve had a terrible year so far compared to previous precedents and while you may not see the team or sponsors pushing Vinge to compete, I can.

One of us is going to be wrong on our spectrums, or it can be in the middle. But you’ve been saying miracles happen in cycling and that’s what it would take for Vingegaard to be competitive.
