Teams & Riders Tadej Pogačar discussion thread

Page 693 - Get up to date with the latest news, scores & standings from the Cycling News Community.
Predicting this stage wasn't easy. Pogacar's level is overly unconventional compared to any rider. Not that the Tour title has been already deciced and packed, but Vingegaard clearly needs a perfect prep to take on Pogacar, just as Pogacar needed this run-in to compete against Vinegaard in the last year's TdF. Providing both of them hit the tour on full magic, most of fans would've made a bet on the Slovenian. Theres no doubt. Pogačar's absolute best seems almost untouchable.

Has anyone predicted Pogačar is done on longer climbs? I could hardly imagine event most enthuaiastic Vinegaards fans coming up with this kind of thoughts.
 
Great win and bounce back!!!! Hopefully tomorrow he can continue to show the improved training he said he’s done on longer climbs. If push comes to shove Vingegaard has still shown he has trouble following the acceleration, plus his team has been making mince meat of Visma so far.
Only a crash, covid can stop him. The giro even in his legs wont be enough the gap to just to equal him is to big and even if the giro legs starts showing for real its not enough considering how big the strenght gap is.

Only crash and covid can stop him from this now I think.

Predicting this was pretty easy. I've been saying for 8 months now the Giro wouldn't affect him much and been saying for 3 months now no way in hell Vingegaard gonna be in top shape.

But then people just call me a salty hater when I speak truthfully. That too is expected. First there was Jesus, then Jose, now there is me.

Well even a very broken clock can be right twice a year.
