Thanks!
He doesn't need an excuse after winning two GTs. He's served the Pride of Nation beyond any duty. As it stands; Slovenians are the only folks that have a stake in this so my opinion doesn't count.Oh come on. He is just miffed Urska was not selected and this is his retaliation.
Thats wild and I have heard so many say it aswell it seems its basicly haters and people with nostalgia saying otherwice and im sure others too but the majority of legends ive seen on IG and in media and cyclist they all seem to say him now ? its crazy what time we are in. I sure listen more to Cadel than user 12312451 for instance.View: https://www.instagram.com/reel/C9rY5upyBcH/?igsh=bmp4OG5heWpzdnNp

I suspect it’s actually quite a complex issue with the head coach and Urska that most people don’t know about. There were some Slovenian journalists tweeting about a long history of issues with the head coach including him being verbally abusive to young girls as well as a lot of promotion of eating disorders and power plays with women.Oh come on. He is just miffed Urska was not selected and this is his retaliation.
He's tired... tired of that national federationDo you really believe that because I don’t. He finished the tour look g by far the freshest of the entire peloton
Did you see the internal PR release from the federation they said they want their best riders to be selected but it’s not their final decision it’s the head coaches 🙃 I would be annoyed too.He's tired... tired of that national federation
Yeah, I just think the Giro was a bit special this year because of all the injuries etc.I think they already are, look at the lack of depth in the Giro this year. I think the likes of Carapaz/S.Yates/Mas/Rodriguez might have ridden the Giro if Pogi hadn't as they would smell the chance of winning the overall. But when Pogi announced they switched to the Tour
I strongly suspect.And you know that how?
He should definitely do something. Not riding at the Olympics might bring some attention but idk. I guess he knows best.Yes. And you know what? I'd do the same. *** the morons who didn't select Urska.
He does not. But it seems to be as a response to Urska's non selection. That is all I am saying.He doesn't need an excuse after winning two GTs. He's served the Pride of Nation beyond any duty. As it stands; Slovenians are the only folks that have a stake in this so my opinion doesn't count.
I vaguely remember something like this as well.I suspect it’s actually quite a complex issue with the head coach and Urska that most people don’t know about.

I vaguely remember there were some problems at one of the previous world championship where Urska was told she would participate then told she couldn’t when she was already there? one of the Australian events?
On top of that she gave a pretty good break down of how his supposed selections were made and how they were incorrect. Like that they stopped counting UCI points before the end of the year and refused to accept that she is a domestique in some situations.
She said she asked him not to comment on it but he did anyway. It was an interesting interview she gave but I doubt she wants him to use his influence like this.I strongly suspect.

The question is whether he should use his stature in Slovenian cycling to influence the selection process. By all metrics Urska is the best cyclist so there must be something deeper at play.
Lol. What mythical competitors are these? Literally everyone showed up across the two racesHorner is making the case for the Vuelta by pointing out that the season has been pitch perfect in ways of letting him keep freshness because the few competitors that could've made him really go all out didn't show up, or not strong enough. Also noone's gonna show up at the Vuelta who could beat him except for Roglic possibly. So Horner argues he can hardly hope for any better season than this one to ever present itself again.
Ciciban raceI think he should have competed in Paris. Form of his life, possibly the highest level a rider has ever reached in modern cycling history just before an Olympics and with no guarantees for LA 2028 aged 29. I think he risks a career without an Olympic win which seems incomplete for him.
If I am reading this right, he says Horner thinks pogi should to the vueta because everyone worth a salt pogi has destroyed already in previous GT's and the Vuelta 2024 is a dream opportunity for the GT treble.Lol.

29 is basically peak age for a road cyclist.I think he should have competed in Paris.

I think he risks a career without an Olympic win which seems incomplete for him.
Is that even a big deal? Let some next tier stars battle for the OlympicI think he risks a career without an Olympic win which seems incomplete for him.
No it’s not a big deal. Pros have only been allowed to compete relatively recently so it’s not an absolute historical marker for pogi. Plus he’ll get two more realistic shots at it possibly with better suited parcoursIs that even a big deal? Let some next tier stars battle for the Olympic
