Teams & Riders Tadej Pogačar discussion thread

[Peyroteo94]

If I'm Bora I'm staying put on stage 6, and maybe stage 8. Think it's up to Visma to control stage 6, but then it's more simple to send van Aert in the break.

No one will drag WVA to that finish. His best chance would be Visma controlling the break. They should hunt stages and not rely on Kuss to somehow win the Vuelta. It won't happen again.

 

[Peyroteo94]

Roglič has previously liked to give away the leader‘s jersey in the Vuelta, he might not want to control Stage 6.

Maybe but it is easy to control the Vuelta. Half of the mountain stages are unipuerto stages

The historic show Pogacar put up while also donig the historic Giro-Tour double is unrivaled of anything weve seen in modern cycling, unmatched.

Still perplexed in some way of the fashion he pulled it off, mindboggling how strong he is now.

Yes it really is. He truly is one of a kind.

Shame that Pogi's going all the way to Canada just to get beaten by De Lie ...

He has a bigger fish in Zurich. Important race for him if he wants to become the GOAT. There are 4 targets he should try to accomplish.
Ardennes treble
Triple crown
Double digits wins in GT's
Double digits wins in monuments

How is made that coefficient? I would like to know Merckx's seasons

He must be paid a lot to race in Canada. There are a lot of races in Europe, why go to Canada if not for the money?

they are WT races, the Euro races right now are Vuelta or small potatoes(for Pogi).

It's nice to see the world.

He has done them before, maybe he liked how it was organized and the hotels?

Hamburg, EC are important races (at least worldtour). And he could grab some races like wallonie or those small italian classics. He loves Italy. I only see money as the main reason.

I don't know if EC is really that important?

Hamburg is nice and all, but Montreal is better suited to Pogi. I am sure he can win Hamburg if the stars align, but same goes with Quebec.

And The better competition is probably in Canada, he'll probably be able to beat bigger names with more tv viewers earning better points.

He isn't the type of rider who settles for beating the second best he can find.

Neither are Canadian classics and there is always the jet lag.

Maybe they found a way to turn off pressure regulation in the plane and flight will count as preparations on altitude

Can't wait to see his peak in September, ready to destroy and show the world that Remco is a secondary rider close to him.

 

[velaso montador]

show the world that Remco is a secondary rider close to him.

As great as remco is he has showned that already, theres nothing to show....Its not exactly close

 

[Peyroteo94]

Yeah, but all this nonense how Remco will catch Pogacar on rolling terrain is getting me sick. There is zero evidence that Remco can catch Pogacar after getting dropped.

There is evidence that Pogacar can't catch Evenepoel though

When both are peaking for a race, I can remember the gravel stage.

Yeah there’s always an excuse. Wollongong Pogacar wasn’t peaking apparently, but a few weeks later wins Lombardia

You're right but I gave that exemple because someone said Pogacar never caught Remco after he got away and that's not true.

In Wollongong there was no chase between them. One of them got into the breakaway and the other stayed with the group. However, Pogi was not seen at 100% in the last climbs up the hill.

 

[ppanther92]

Well, quite obvious now already that Pogacar wouldn't have taken anything from anyone at the Vuelta.

Are they going to back Del Toro now or give up on GC?

E: although COVID for Almeida is bad luck

He is the only capable of winning GT's in UAE, period!

One thing they won't say is how Remco benefited from having WVA in his team. He gets a free role when WVA marks the main rivals. I want to see in Lombardia or Liege, if Remco can beat Pogacar.
