Teams & Riders Tadej Pogačar discussion thread

Page 721 - Get up to date with the latest news, scores & standings from the Cycling News Community.
To be honest what's happening this year is not that surprising to me.
He was such a dominant rider at 20yo at the Vuelta, and then managed to demolish the competition and win the TdF in the last stage in 2020 at barely 21 yo.

What are you expecting of such a guy when he reaches 25 yo with improved preparation... that he peaked at 21 ? Come on, unless accident or mental depression it's not logical.

He was destined to be the GOAT, at least among them.
 
Are vinegard and Masnada the only guys in cycling history strong enough to compete with peak pogacar in the big races?
I'm getting a feeling that even with high perfectly prepared Vingegaard at the start, it wouldn't be a real battle this year.

Vingegaard isnt close I do believe he did his best numbers ever on stage 15 and wasnt exactly close thats comfirmed by Vingegaard and Jumbo weve seen that so no need discussing it even...Not like I was suprised of that ever anyway. Its time vingegaard fans sums it up:

1.He beat pogacar once when he had a broken wrist
2. Another time when Pogacar beat himself along with the jumbo team WHICH THE JUMBO GUYS EVEN SAID THEMSELF no point arguing that also credz vinge that year but yeah. Thats it thats all he has done every other time when pogacar isnt hurt no matter where he has never been close thats just facts always been facts. And thats it, those two times:tearsofjoy: When you sum it up its not really hard.

Vingegaard is severly overhyped vs pogacar in reality he has always been. Unless Pogacar is not 100% he has never stood a chance nothing new. And now Pogacar has just gotten way better clearly.

The goat best Ive ever seen and will be there isnt anything else to say anymore.

Yeah no dude, don't overdo it. He won the Tour twice. You don't do this by chance. Next year he'll be closer to Tadeij. There's no reason to act like Vingegaard is not a top rider.

I dont lie its just facts. I never said Vingegaard isnt a great rider you dont win two tdf if ur not but still what I said is also true and based simply on facts which we know. So when you sum it up its hardly surprising to most all im saying.
 
Doing this best climbing performances of all time after the Giro im even blowned away. Atleast now there no need even endure pointless discussion this is so superios in all terrains it leaves him head and shoulders above everyone else in history.

Thats just purely based on numbers. What a gift he is and how lucky are we to witness him!!
The only question is how long he can keep this up. This will mainly determine his legacy.
