Yes, I think he only wants to be a leader in some GTs (Vuelta) and he will be a super domestique for Pogi.Almeida would ride for pogi again and a top 5 finish or better

Theres no team in the world which are as stacked as UAE when it comes to elite mountain doms.They signed Vermeersch and Narvaez for classics but zero riders to help Pogacar in the mountains.
based on? He is a extraordinary talent and after the Vuelta it may be a given already time will tell wouldnt be surprised though thats all, think he will become a beast very soon and going to the Tour with Pog will be the best he can gain if he strong enough for that next year but wouldnt be surprised as I said but lets see.Del Toro seems to be too raw for the Tour.
Those 2 are not team players.based on?

Regardless the team is stacked in that department no worries. They didnt bring riders like Vine and Mcnulty in any GT this year and still dominating easy in mountains their stacked in that department.

Beautiful! My lovely "Sardinha assada com batata cozida"!
He is 20 years old. I think he will play a domestique role in August so I don't believe in a top5.based on?

He better works his ass to win this WC.Riders after the Tour do altitude training? For example, Pogacar will be in Sierra Nevada this month or he will just train in Monaco/France/Italy?
He better works his ass to win this WC.
And I think he should do the Giro-Tour next year, and aim for the WC in Rwanda, which will have more than 5000m of climbing.
He could be a 2x World Champion by next year, with 6 GTs and 2x Giro-Tour doubles in his resumé.
The Vuelta can wait.
I was under the impression that he takes a few weeks off, and then starts training again. I can’t imagine him not doing altitude since it worked so well before.Riders after the Tour do altitude training?

Tour-Vuelta next year. WC is 2/3 weeks after but are you sure, it will be a mountain WC? That would be great since they shut down the zurich classicHe better works his ass to win this WC.

He never does altitude training before his spring season and he is very successful thereI was under the impression that he takes a few weeks off, and then starts training again. I can’t imagine him not doing altitude since it worked so well before.
I am having a hard time in believing he, as the Giro champion, won't defend his title.Tour-Vuelta next year. WC is 2/3 weeks after but are you sure, it will be a mountain WC? That would be great since they shut down the zurich classic
I am having a hard time in believing he, as the Giro champion, won't defend his title.
5000m of elevation is Pogacar's playgroundI am having a hard time in believing he, as the Giro champion, won't defend his title.
About the WC in Rwanda:
A parcours for Tadej Pogačar? Rwanda set to be the most mountainous World Championships in 5 years
The cobbled Kigali Hill will feature on both the men's and women's routeswww.cyclingweekly.com
He should try the Giro-Tour double again and go for the WC again next year.
He is more interested in monuments than rerunning the Giro/Tour double again. Depending on how hard the Tour is for him next year, he might very well skip the Vuelta again to secure WC good chance to win.He better works his ass to win this WC.

That is not what that means at all.He said he can only beat who was there, implicating that if Pogacar was there he wouldn’t beat him.
He will do Tour-Vuelta for sure and try to win MSR and Flanders again.He is more interested in monuments than rerunning the Giro/Tour double again. Depending on how hard the Tour is for him next year, he might very well skip the Vuelta again to secure WC good chance to win.
I would also usually think Giro-Tour double is a one time thing, especially since he pulled it off.He was defending champion in Flanders and he didn't defend his title
I don't think he'll do the Giro next year. I find it more likely yo come back to classics.
