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.

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.

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.

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

Last one legends. For today at least

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
