[SHAD0W93]

Tadej Pogacar has just revealed he caught COVID-19 ten days ago but wasn't badly affected. "Covid is just like a cold now. I stopped training for a day and then was on the rollers. When I got better I trained outdoors

Visma’s plan failed it seems.

On the plus side, he should now have immunity for the Tour.

Apparently he had a mild COVID infection just 10 days ago:

'I stopped for one day and then some rollers inside. Then when I wasn't sick anymore, I was riding outside'

So not everything was as smooth as Maxtin described recently.

Had a talk with Matxin and Mathieu today. Pogacar will even win stage 1 both said, Mathieu even refered to him as the goat and that there wasnt much more to say, never heard he of all people use those words before, heard plenty of others but never him.

Anyway Pogacar will win stage 1 even. He has apparently become even stronger than he was which is ridiculous to think about.

You occupy the hole in my heart (almost) that mou leaves behind

De Plus thinks the heat could be Pog's cryptonite.

"The heat may be killing him. It is common knowledge that he does not like racing in extreme heat. You can work on that, but it is mainly innate or not," the Belgian concludes. "But racing in the heat suits me. Since the focus of this Tour - the final week - is in the south of France, a warm edition is also predicted."

Very rarely in recent years has so much discussion been made of just the mere presence on the startline of the Tour de France, than in 2024 and the recovery by Jonas Vingegaard. Not even a punctured l...

Extreme heat protocol, activate.

Cancel long sprint stages in this heat, shorten them.

While we’re at it, cancel them and just award them to Cavendish

So he had Covid. He is playing mind game with his opponents.

Poetic. We keep it wholesome here.

Every day the stage conditions should be discussed with the most accomplished rider in the race (the peleton representative). If he thinks it's too hot then it should be called off. Safety first!

Yesterday: Never felt better on a bike
Today: I had covid

Everyone in cycling sure seems to agree on this point.

Looking forward to see how he has recoverd from the Giro and the double attempt, been a while since last time weve seen it.

In other words; he didn't follow JV's directive to Kuss to go ahead and race Dauphine' or overexert which was the smart choice.

haha picture 5 he seems good to go

Go where? Down the drain?

How very underdog of him. I, for one, am convinced that stage hunting and riding for Ayuso will be next.

I'm on the edge of the grid (not quite off the grid) for several days, and I got an alert that "TP confirmed covid". I couldn't believe my eyes, but then I read that it was two weeks ago so hopefully his body is good!

Everybody has Covid, you're not with the cool kids unless you've had Covid ...
