Bring back Mou

 

[Krzysztof_O]

Vingo did a great ride today and he can still be dangerous in the GC if Pog has a bad day. The most important thing for Pog is avoiding one.

Pog is ready to be at 7 w/kg for 20 min if necessary after 4 hours of a fast-paced race, I'll just say that from 2024 onwards no one will leave him on the hill

No one

Bring back Mou

A prophet is not without honor, save in his own country, and among his own kin, and in his own house.

Pog will play at the Giro, like a child in the sand, enjoy Italian pasta, massages after each stage and the love that the Italian fans give him, so that the Giro will be fun for him and an excellent base preparation for the Tour💯

Prep for the tour he said

 

[Krzysztof_O]

Prep for the tour he said

Mou was right since March. What a f**king legend!

Pogačar at 100% with 65 kg means that at the end of each stage on the Giro, Pog can leave in the dust whoever he wants and who will win both TTs, and Pog 100% on the Tour means everything the same as on the Giro, only with 1 kg less, and that's you my friend means that if he is ready for the Giro after 4 hours he will have 6.78w/kg on the final hill which lasts 30 minutes and he will have 6.9w/kg on the Tour

Ahem

Unbelievable performance from both but visma with the greatest bluff we've ever seen "we wouldn't bet on jonas to finish on podium" lmao

If you claim he won by more than 1:08 (I counted to 68 without looking at a watch), you'd be overstating it.

Called it!

What a legend.

A few of us knew he was right.

At this moment, I think he has a better chance of winning the Vuelta than the WC.

Slightly better chance. The parcours of worlds very much suits pogi

People got impressed by what he did in Monte Grappa. It was obvious some mutant performance would come in this Tour after the Giro. He lost more than a kilo (probably 2) during June.

1.5kg. Which tracks slightly lower than estimates from mou in the late winter

He got this right, didn't he

So does Pogi now try and get another 3 stage wins in the last week now, given his lead and that he is clearly strongest? It's not like the Giro when he had to save himself for the Tour?

Or does he save himself for the Olympics? With Van Aert and Van der Poel not looking at their best, he might have a good chance in that? Or will he be too tired and it's not suited enough for him?

I’m guessing 3 stage wins. Olympics is more of a nationality criterium unless he sees a clear path during the race, and then worlds and maybe Lombardia.
Part of me wishes he would go easy next week, skip Olympics, and give the vuelta plus worlds a go.

He is not doing three GTs in the same season. It is not gonna happen.

I too think it would be reckless. But part of me will always wonder what if he could. It would be historic

Read somewhere that Pog beat Pantani‘s record at Beille by about three minutes. Can that be true? I mean three minutes are a lot. And Pantani (1998?) went quite full gas from the start of the climb, I think I remember this day quite well.

He did 39'44". Pantani's record was 43'20".

This guy literally called everything. Incredible!

What’s insane is that he doesn’t have a regular blog on this media platform. He’s not even allowed to post. Think about that. The folks who dogged and baited him are still here (at least the ones who didn’t delete their own accounts)

They talked a lot. "Not possible". Laughed at what he said. Broke it down with numbers and so on. So much for that.

It is quiet now.

Thats extremely specific (and impressive)

What can we do as a community to get him back?
