the answer to everyone who doesn't understand the point, Pogi is better than Vingegard in everything and recovery on the grand tour, classics, he has a better sprint, the only reason Vingegard beats Pogi on the Tour for the last 2 years is because Vingegard has a perfect training plan, perfect nutritionists and they focus on the smallest details, while Pogačar was trained for the last 5 years by the biggest fraudster among the elite coaches, Inigo San Millan, do you know that only this year Pogi started using Core and heat training WTF, that only this year he had a perfect winter with the right program and coach Sola, who is a top expert, do you know that the pace this year on the Strade Bianche from the beginning of the race leading to the Sante Marie sector was 30% higher compared to 2022 and that Pogi was better by 2 minutes compared to 2022 from the moment attacks to the end of the sector and he attacked in an approximate place despite a 30% harder race, this Pogacar has nothing to do with the one of the last 5 years and I can assure you that Vingegard has no chance in all the races on the calendar against Pogacar except for the tour where he will be 65: 35 in favor of Pogi, his 2 weaknesses so far have been heat and altitude hills, but only because he has not been adequately trained until this year, the San Millan clown wore him out at the altitude camp before the tour, so that the heat and fatigue from the hard camp in 3 week tired and now there won't be any more, Pogi will have an even better recovery in the 3rd week than Vingo, I repeat you have never seen anything like this before and everyone will have questions over their heads regarding Pogacar, starting with giro 😉😉😅😅😅

who can have 8.5W/kg for 12 minutes on a hill with a 5% gradient behind a scooter? that's how much Pog had 3 days before Strade Bianche, I'm telling you they made a monster from a catastrophically trained champion with an adequate trainer at the top level in the ranks of trainers from Visma, and Sola it is definitely that level

none of you know that Pog tests himself every month on Madonna via Gorbio, after each training block of 3 weeks, and so far his record for February was 23:59min 9.77km 7.1% VAM 1747 4 days before departure for Strade Bianche achieved 22:29, VAM 1850, the plan for the Giro is to be around 22 min on Madonna and that after 4 hours of driving around 5w/kg, I want Vingegard for the Tour the best ever to be at least interesting because when Pog drops him again like on stages 9 and 15 there is no return for him like 2023

Today was a legendary stage. In 20 years, we will remember this stage as the best climbing performance cycling has ever witness. This is a time I wouldn't expect in a MTT, let alone with 4000m of elevation and 180 km of a very hard tempo.
Pogacar made a statement today, he wants to be the best ever! If he wins the Tour, I will put him alongside Indurain, Hinault, etc. And I'm pretty sure in a couple of years, he will sit close to Merckx.

We can all dig up posts from ages ago Samu, my prediction that Natnael Tesfatsion was 'winning it all this season' after his impressive 2nd in Cadel Evans Road Race also unfortunately didn't transpire, nor my prediction of 'Wilco for the stage' yesterday :(

I was just looking forward to reading the news stories after what would most likely have been a failed attempt to get into his hotel room.

Yeah that was the plan indeed. However, he'll get way more opportunities to win Worlds than doing the triple which is a once in a life time opportunity with Vingegaard injuried in the Tour and not doing the Vuelta. Besides, Pogacar can still do Worlds, but obviously not with optimal preparation.

Must say I have hard times to see Vinge doing it much better today, more like Pogi has improved massively...
(apart from that, I agree much in the priorities for Pogi's upcoming calendar).

I think that will be hard for me, since I am a cold and calculating Dane. My only choice will be to appear on mou's podcast and do my best Pogi impression, in case Matxin & Co. still keep the real one from taking part, cause I will be toast otherwise.
