Teams & Riders Tadej Pogačar discussion thread

[SHAD0W93]

Does anyone know what he said to Quinn Simmons during the first HC climb of stage 19 that made Simmons laugh?

Just wait to see what I do to Visma in a couple hours.

With how the last week has gone and Pogacar’s love for the theatrics, what are the odds of the conspiracy theory of Pogacar faking weakness on stage 11 to give Visma hope is true or not.

I think he legit bonked. Feels too elaborate a scheme and there was not certain Vingo could even claw back that much to him. Others certainly couldn’t

He choose the right day for his off day I guess

Not sure if this has been posted somewhere in the forum already but just saw this article in the Guardian.

A concerning quote attributed to Tom Dumoulin - copied below.

Pogacar bursts clear to deliver payback in Alps and tighten Tour de France grip

The Giro d’Italia winner took a definitive and conclusive grip on the yellow jersey, with just two stages to go

There’s definitely an element of arrogance. The rivalry between Vingegaard and Pogacar has spanned three years, and Pogacar can’t accept being beaten two years in a row. Now that he’s back in control and has the strength to challenge Vingegaard again, he’s thinking, ‘Now, I’ll get you back

Can't accept? This is a bit rich coming from the arrogance of Jumbo Visma in 2022, 2023 and 2024 up until stage 15 when they have since fallen strangely silent. This attitude doesn't come from Tom personally but certainly the team who dished out more than its share of arrogance and disrespect.

Visma and Tom just seems like sore losers.

And they are taking it hard because they are very arrogant. Thought they would win again, so it is amplified.

First time I watched the Armstrong podcast today. It was about Tadej, and he and Hincapie were very critical of Tadej’s move. Basically he didn’t ‘let’ an American win the stage and he’s very greedy and selfish and he ‘made a mistake’ and that don’t let them blablabla…

Armstrong point has nothing to do with Jorgenson I think. He's been adament about is previously as well. I can see where he's coming from (this is probably not the forum to discuss it), but at the same time I don't agree. But its definitely a valid argument I think to some extent.

Tadej: Let's not talk about cannibalism. That's not very nice. 🥺

You see? Pogačar is not a cannibal. Cannibals eat meat, he just eats candy.

(I'm sure he has a well-balanced diet, including meat. Just from... other animals.)

He eats bears though.... made out of gummy.

Armstrong's point isn't invalid, but he and George were def worked up because Pog beat their love Jorgenson. George especially.

Which is ridiculous, if Pog is going to give up the queen stage he has been targeting for months, and climbed many times, it won't be for a visma rider who was in the break initially to set up an attack for Jonas and for the team that has smashed pog 2 years running.

Johan disagrees with his ex rider Lance and George, and while they are all have a checkered past in cycling, Johan is the smartest of them.

And while I am at it, and talking about "being greedy" has the forum had collective amnesia regarding the domination of visma in 2023?

What a bunch of clowns. What has "mr. Livestrong" ever gifted to anybody? On contrary he was a cancer of peloton of the time bullying everybody (sometimes even his teammates).

lol Lance, okay.

The queens stage needs to be won by the upcoming Tour de France winner. End of story.

Sean Quinn.

Pogi: "Lets stop talking about cannibalism, that's not so nice. I eat candy and gels, not human flesh."

Good guy, echoing my bafflement at Merckx' nickname that I've always had.

hahaha he knows he is a cannibal he just cant help himself when he smells flesh/victory. True candy eating cannibal.

Maybe he prefer when ppl call him a sweat cannibal?

The thing is, cannibalism isn't defined by a massive appetite but for eating your own species.

Haha I know man but that's not the term in what its used in cycling. In that term he is clearly a cannibal weve seen it countless of times he has said he just cant help himself if he smells a win.

Now, that's just disgusting!




(You meant "sweet", not "sweat".)

I wonder if he had let a different rider win the stage but didn't want to make gifts to Visma. People talk about "making friends in the peloton" but Visma won't become his friends anyway. If today he goes to the finish line with Remco I would predict he would gift the stage win to him, yesterday just wasn't the day to do so.

 

[Fos]

I also think that if Remco drops Jonas today, Pogi will follow his wheel and give him the stage.
