Teams & Riders Tadej Pogačar discussion thread

[Krzysztof_O]

RR fanboying Nibali for as long as I can remember and saying Pog is a luck merchant will always be funny, even if he's sarcastic (at times).

He doesn't love Teddy because he wins a bit too much and, well, PDBF happened...

 

[mariosommelier]

It was a joke because Red Rick always says Pogacar is quite lucky. In a way I also find Pogacar to be lucky, but he deserves all his wins. He works hard and it’s a joy to see him race.

Yeah, I got it.

In a way, I found Remco very lucky as well.

But you can only compete against those who show up, so luck has always been, and will always be, a part of every sport.

Training while drafting a motorbike uphill. Shouldn't he be in Canada already?

Why should he be in Canada? He can fly today and be ready on Friday

Jet lag. If it was WC he would probably arrive 6-7 days earlier but it's just a prep race.

 

[Fuglen]

Seems strange to me that you would want to be jet lagged two times 2-3 weeks out from the WC.

Yeah but like you said, it is just a prep race and he just wants some time stretching his legs in races.

He did this multiple time already, doubt he feels much impact

Maybe the trick is to spend only 3-4 days there without full adaptation (so only one jet lag)

It shows that these Canadian races aren't just training for him.
Here's an idea for next year. World champs in Canada!

Too late, it's in Rwanda

Do we have a route?

 

[Berniece]

Do we have a route?

I think there is a route already, but not properly mapped out. It's extremely hard. The hardest WC ever apparently, so a big chance for Pogacar to win it.

I'm looking forward to see the route. I hope for a very hard and successful WC, Africa needs to bring more riders to cycling.

Yes 2022 was such a big success

I mean, its Pogi we are talking about, so he´s probably going to win it all anyway, but it can´t be optimal to mess up your circadian rhythm twice during the most important training phase before a big race.

Especially because he always tries to explain how Nibali was more unlucky than lucky.

In 2026 the WC will be in Montreal, so good news for Pogačar

There is no route as you say as i understand but they list the climbs being used and as you say it will be one of the toughest WCs certainly in recent memory

Harder than Innsbruck? If so, it will be a huge carnage!

More altitude meters at least. Thought it was said to be around 5500 in total

Finally the goat is getting back to riding soon. Its just not the same without him even though its nice after watching him how insane he has been this year watching anyone else just doesnt hit the same after

Yes i believe so.
