Teams & Riders Tadej Pogačar discussion thread

[scribers]

Roubaix incoming. All monuments attack.

Mou did say no P-R before 2026. But we haven’t been afforded an update in thinking since late winter, unfortunately

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Has anyone said yet that mou was right all along and that he‘s teaching people on twitter? I don‘t know what this ‚oh look this thread has more posts so our rider is clearly very important’ stuff is all about.

 

[groogster]

BTW anyone knows why Mou was banned?

He surely doesn’t have a roommate, a room only for himself.

I think his best mate is Wellens.

My thought too.
As soon as they were an odd-number of riders - with Ayuso leaving - it would have made perfect sense for them to put Pogacar in his own name, to limit the risk of infection.




(Alternatively whoever was roommates with Ayuso got a room on his own - at least for a couple of days - just to be sure he wasn't infected too.)

last time im gonne say it buddy cause I know I know but im stressing more about that covid article than I was before stage 14 and 15. I knew what would happen there and that he would drop everyone like we have saw on every stage before I have no idea about sickness though feel me? Nvm last time you hear about it from me promise.

Other sprint stages I noticed 4 and 5km rule. This one today I see is 3km lets hope everyone gets home safe I find these sprint stages so not for my taste but have to have something for everyone which is fine. I havent watched how the boys looked during the stage as im on my way to a fishing place.

That make the most sense, yes indeed. But I wasnt sure but indeed does make most sense with that budget to have a room alone all the time but idk why was curious

It's mainly just a math thing.
If there are seven riders on a team, one of them needs to have his own room. Because, well... the alternative is a little messy.

Im sure you can have solo room even if not with that budget if they wanted but yeah idk as I said whats the deal there. Yes indeed it is.

 

[Peyroteo94]

He is safe, great news! Now bring hell tomorrow!

 

[Berniece]

BTW anyone knows why Mou was banned?

Because he insulted other users over and over again after warnings and bans

He took no risk. He gambled with possbile losing 20-35 sec but make sure he didn't crash.

 

[Slavique Nuke]

Yeah, he seemed to be saving himself and his team for tomorrow. The stage is perfect for him to get his fourth win.

 

[Jack_89]

where do you get the belief that tomorrow he attacks=?

This is a primary forum rule in that we don’t discuss forumoderation.

An easy stage win?

Because he's Pogacar and there is a 10% section close to the top of the cat 1 climb, one descend and a little cat 3 to the finish. But I agree he might actually for once be saving himself for the last days. But it's Pogi, you never know, if there's an option for attack, he usually seizes it.

UAE has the budget to give pogi the hotel to himself. But that’s not how the uci and aso look at it. They get so many rooms in any fleabag hotel and the riders stay in it no matter what. I wouldn’t be surprised if three guys stay in a single room so that pogi is alone and away from covid as much as possible.

 

[Barkintheeye]

It’s good to see him stirring about. Clearly the twitter platform isn’t as satisfying for him as this platform.

I look for clues. He says almeida could win the giro 2025. Does this mean the giro is no longer on pogis 2025 menu? And if so, why. I saw elsewhere pogi says maybe to 2025 vuelta

All in for a 2025 spring monuments wrecking campaign???

Grabbing the lot: MSR, RVV, P-R, LBL and GdL in one year plus probably also the road WC. Why not? (although I don't think so and surely hope that MVDP and others will give a match)

In theory he’s demonstrating dominance in the GC arena. Does he need to win 5 giros and 6 tours and 4 vueltas? Or does he lineup against one day race specialists and try to assert himself there?

Yeah it’s reckless, crazy, and a little bit dumb to do.

So yeah, he probably will

Look, fish will hit the same lure day after day. Because that’s just their nature.

 

[Taxus4a]

It is an opinion and it has his arguments. I have just another. Vingegaard was close to doesnt start this Tour, he was one month on hospital. If some people think wrist issue of Pogacar was a problem, imagine Viggo injuries.

We will see a new Viggo after this rest day, it is normal when you didnt get optimal to a 3 weeks race to be stronger last week, he needed this rest day.

At the level Pogacar is showing I think there is nothing to do, but if the 19 stage would have another climb at the begining, an stage with at least 180 km, I will say the race will be now 50-50. Now I see 90-10. Next stage is even shorter, but it all up and down, it is the last and you never knows. By the way. when you com pred times of climbing, I just remeber now that Le Couillole, who they climb that day and it climbed at Mercan Tour classic, was climbed better by Froome 2 years ago than Pogacar later at le Tour. and there was bettel at the climb on le Tour by Pogacar. And of course Froome now is not climbing better than Pogacar. You can take some conclusion of those numbers itself, but not too much.

 

[velaso montador]

Its not harder than that. Simply the best. History people!
