If he wins it they should put rainbow bands on leaders jerseys so we can still see them for most of the seasonThe worlds I like far more for him than the Olympics personally. How cool would it be to see him ride the WC jersey next year(ofc with a proper UCi worlds kit not the usualy uae rubbish)
Would be epic to watch him ride the Tour or giro in the worlds jersey but if its only one day haha idk but anyway rest of the year would be epic.
If he wins the TT he will have more wins this season than 2 and 3 (Merlier and Vingegaard) on the list combined. Not only that but they are all world tour wins.

If POGAČAR Tadej (UAE Team Emirates) was a team on his own, where would he rank in the PCS teams ranking this season?

I think this is exactly what it is and when Vinge beat him in 2022/2023, they thought they had his number. Like "we got him". They were just gonna do it again this year, despite the crash which frankly cant have mattered much in their decision to send Vinge and after seeing his performance on PdB... they definitely thought "we got him". They saw Giro and like many others on here said... its "only" the Giro. He is racing against Martinez and old man Thomas. Come to Tour, we will see who is the best. Especially, 3rd week.Tom was in probably thinking he’d never have to relive 2020 again. He and Visma should know cycling cannot be controlled like a turning a dial. I thought we learned this wasn’t right after enduring the Dave Brailsford years.
I agree. Will never be a chance like this but what if he breaks his body down for next year I have zero doubts amost he could do it this year but I dont think thats the problem.Doing La Vuelta would probably be a bad idea for all kinds of reasons , but this might be the best chance we ever get to see if the GT treble is possible.
First rider to win the giro - tour double in modern time. Lets look at the fashion he did it(if he manage to secure it last stage)I said I would not say Pogacar is the best GT rider in the world despite winning Giro-Tour because Vingegaard was not at his best (I think he was very close in the first two weeks but his suboptimal preparation took a tool in his performance just like Pogacar last year). I still won't say he is the best but after this Tour, it's hard to not say.
What you can conclude is the roles have been reversed, which Vinge and Visma probably wasnt thinking was even possible. Thats why they are now saying the things they are saying. Tom D. Zeeman etc. They are very hurt, because of their own arrogance and pride. First they were shocked/stunned. Now as the days goes by they just seem to be getting more angry about it, but thats the stages you usually have to go through.
He’s definitely the best. Sure Vingegaard didn’t have the best preparation, but this was only visible in the last week. Other stages he also wasn’t able to follow while pushing his best numbers. Pogacar is just betterI said I would not say Pogacar is the best GT rider in the world despite winning Giro-Tour because Vingegaard was not at his best (I think he was very close in the first two weeks but his suboptimal preparation took a tool in his performance just like Pogacar last year).

This guy doesnt miss. Pogacar or Evenpoel for the win today? Not the most aero TT.He’s definitely the best. Sure Vingegaard didn’t have the best preparation, but this was only visible in the last week. Other stages he also wasn’t able to follow while pushing his best numbers. Pogacar is just better
Who is better than Pogacar?I said I would not say Pogacar is the best GT rider in the world despite winning Giro-Tour because Vingegaard was not at his best (I think he was very close in the first two weeks but his suboptimal preparation took a tool in his performance just like Pogacar last year).

Better that he not burn himself out doing La Vuelta thinking about the future, few will doubt in a few years that in 2024 he could have easily achieved the triplet.Doing La Vuelta would probably be a bad idea for all kinds of reasons , but this might be the best chance we ever get to see if the GT treble is possible.
You have a young man's definition of modern...First rider to win the giro - tour double in modern time.
Or that the likelihood of defeat is a poor incentive for participation: we'll never know.Better that he not burn himself out doing La Vuelta thinking about the future, few will doubt in a few years that in 2024 he could have easily achieved the triplet.
Pogacar, unless he gifts it or does not take risks. But Pogacar not taking risks in the descent is as fast as Evenepoel taking risksThis guy doesnt miss. Pogacar or Evenpoel for the win today? Not the most aero TT.
