Teams & Riders Tadej Pogačar discussion thread

[Peyroteo94]

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.

Don't let your mouth write cheques your body can't cash.

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.

You will be getting caught as well as the instigator for this conspiracy.

Tim Cahill aint going down alone.

My rap sheet is clean as a whistle, so it might be time to get that changed. However I can't promise that I wouldn't try to get scribers convicted as the ring leader.

 

[Zoetemelk-fan]

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).

Mou has taken over the whole prison and runs the yard. Scribers will be well protected.

You better make some friends fast!

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.

Cant beat them, join them. Survival instincts will kick in.

You notice that guy actually unregistered his username?

@mou wins again!

Which guy?

Why did Mou get banned though?

 

[James M]

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.

Is that the people who compare and use 2023 as reference when the dude rode with broken wrist? Ofcourse that was never the case thats just forcing a narrative which never was there to begin with. Ofcourse he was better and now just showed how much better that was more than people think but im not surprised.

Because he kept insulting people with an intensity I‘ve never seen anyone do before or since.

He is already the best dont fool yorself if you think Merckx would beat Vingegaard uphill and those times and Van der Poel in flandern. You said it yourself today the did the best climbing performance of all TIME. And then he runs to beat Van der poel in flandern. He is by far the best of all time already!

If your talking about the greatest I get you.

He kinda sounds like a legend ngl

There were also 4-5 other posters antagonizing him. Not seen them saying much today.

All he said has played out exactly like he said it.

Except that he never won MSR

 

[Salvarani]

Yeah, what a fraud…

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Mou actually said that he was not expecting that, if I remember correctly, since the race was too easy and UAE didn't have the right team to support Pogačar.

 

[OJRvE]

If I recall mou never promised MSR partly cause the team was too weak not including Del Torro etc. Plus Pogs training wasn’t suited for that parcour.

Tadej Pogačar and Jonas Vingegaard both did the best and second-best climbing performance of all time on the Plateau de Beille climb, making this the greatest climbing stage of all time.

Pogačar did 6.98 ᵉW/Kg for 39:50 min, which is by far the greatest climbing performance ever, taking into account conditions and the stage difficulty. Sea normalised power for this historic effort is 7.27 ᵉW/Kg. Pogačar’s adjusted altitude score was 696, which means this performance was equivalent to pushing 6.96 ᵉW/Kg for 60 minutes at sea level. Jonas Vingegaard, despite losing 68 seconds did the second-greatest climbing performance of all time.

@Froome is missing the last 2 days

He is using 2023 calculation when pogacar was hurt still maybe i dont know that always was so perplexing to me why ppl dont think he would be leagues above that level when he literally rode with a fracture which still healed and always was better than that.

He was the dude being rude to others, wasn't he (or she)? I mean, some of the numbers were and are clinic territory, so not really a good thing to be accurate about.

Perhaps Mou is Gianetti the Vamp? Or perhaps a dealer?
