Will he ride at the Olympics?

He's on the starlist, the race is in less than 2 weeks so I guess form should not be the issue.
With the field being ridiculously small, the largest teams getting 4 riders, which thins out dramatically, it's gonna be wild I guess, given the race is 275km long! I think there's just gonna be a super group that goes really early, and from that he should have a decent shot at getting rid of them, even though there's only a 1k not so steep cobbled hill to go on. But that comes after 227k and overall 3 times in the last 50. It's not exactly a dream parcour for him, but he might just sail away alone or with Remco and VdP never to be seen again because no one got any domestiques to pull anyways.

Tadej Pogacar won Stage 21 to seal overall victory at the 2024 Tour de France, and after sealing the Giro-Tour double, now has his eyes on the rainbow jersey.

In a warning to the current champion, Pogacar said: “[Mathieu] van der Poel looks really good in the world champion’s jersey but I want to take it from him. I want one time to have the rainbow jersey on my back but I still have time for that."

After saying that he should just look for MvP's wheel and stick with it.

He shouldnt. I think yesterday staged summoned up who he is as a character when people ask why he sprint when it make no sense etc..

There was absolutely no reason for him to push or go fast especially on the downhill yet he crushed everyone on every intermediate and downhill and like Sean Kelly said everytime he steps on a bike he just wanne race that downhill was very telling as there was no incentive besides his instincts at all and the way he approach every race and situation even though theres no incentive to do so. Could even argue the other way around.

That he is this way is pure beaty nevermind him beeing the strongest in history alone ofcourse it helps aswell haha.

Alpha. Even the great Mvdp might be on the menu if the appetite is there.

No but serious doubt he can win vs Mvdp in OL but come WC on that route its very likely I see only peak Mvdp and Evenpoel challenge him there and should be betwen those 3. Evenpoel might be the hardest nail there if he continue to take strides aswell which is very likely, the toure looks very hard.

Jokes aside, Zurich WC is a big goal for Pogacar. The climbs there are actually larger than bridges this time: bronze last year was good but gold would be much better. He will target it, maybe even at the cost of the Olympics? (shouldn't he recover a bit now?)

Been thinking they same. Don't risk a crack at the Olympics.. Just take a break and come back strong.

He's on the starlist and it's on August 3rd, so it should not be that big of a deal to conserve form untill than, should it?
It's a pretty long race, and given how insanely small the field is I think he has a greater chance on the parcour than he'd have with an actual field that could chase someone down. Sadly I can't watch it because I star a roadtrip that exact day, but I half expect Remco, Pogacar, VdP + x to sail away relatively early and than battle it out amonst each other. Because who's gonna chase them down with next to no team.
