Isn't Pogacar heavier than him?Remco is "overweight" now for a climbing course. As strange as it gets, Enric Mas is Pogacar's biggest threat but with this UAE, I don't see where is Pogacar not a winner of 2024 Lombardia.
Their lineup will have something like this:
Pogacar
Ayuso
Yates
Majka
Novak
Wellens
Sivakov
He is also more powerfulIsn't Pogacar heavier than him?
For his ideal climbing weight. And we all know Pogacar is a more gifted climber, he can be 2/3 kg heavier and still be the best in Lombardia. Remco can't win a climbing course being 2/3 kg heavier.Isn't Pogacar heavier than him?
Pogacar weighs around 64-65kg at the TDF, while Evenepoel weighs 62-63kg. Pogacar is also 5cm taller. They have different builds in general of course. Pogacar sits between Evenepoel and Vingegaard in type of build.Isn't Pogacar heavier than him?

Well, Pogacar clearly upped his level this year, while Vingegaard certainly couldn't be in absolute top form after that horrific accident.After World Championships win, Lance Armstrong and Johan Bruyneel agree: "Many put Pogacar and Vingegaard on the same level, but that's not true"
Tadej Pogacar put in a masterful ride at the 2024 Wocyclinguptodate.com
Duh goes without saying but still. Its not close at all. If Pogacar is not 100% then its close if he is 100% weve seen it time and time again recently at this Tour when everyone was doing their best numbers - where they said they was at their best and it was faaar from close. Lance and Bruynel W there but kinda obv and common sense.
I don't like to underestimate Vingegaard. He is the only rider to defeat the monster twice. Vingegaard will be better than ever next year, he will probably reach a better level than 2024 Pogacar (in GT's). Now let's see if this will be enough because Pogacar will improve too.Well, Pogacar clearly upped his level this year, while Vingegaard certainly couldn't be in absolute top form after that horrific accident.
Pogacar had an injury last year, so he also probably wasn't on his best level.
In 2022 however, they were both healthy.
I think 2025. will give a clearer answer, but I'm skeptical that Vinge can reach Pog's new level.
This is of course purely in terms of GT racing.
Zero chance he reach pog level. Goat will never lose another GTI don't like to underestimate Vingegaard. He is the only rider to defeat the monster twice.

Don't be silly. Probably you thought the same in 2022 and Vingegaard was better than Pogacar. Pogacar has to be humble and fight to reach a new level next year. Tour-Vuelta is on the menuZero chance he reach pog level. Goat will never lose another GT

Belgian suggests Pogačar is now the greatest cyclist of all timewww.cyclingnews.com
The boy is writting history every race. The godfather has even bowed to the new king. What a time to be alive. What we saw yesterday im still kinda shocked...100km to go, its insanity in this era just ludicrous how strong he is.
Jonas -> Giro-TourDon't be silly. Probably you thought the same in 2022 and Vingegaard was better than Pogacar. Pogacar has to be humble and fight to reach a new level next year. Tour-Vuelta is on the menu
We don't know that, I have a strange feeling Vingegaard will be in Italy next year but he can always follow his old boring schedule.Jonas -> Giro-Tour
Tadej -> Tour-Vuelta
What if Nordhagen and Torres get better in the next couples year than Pogacar and Vingegaard?Zero chance he reach pog level. Goat will never lose another GT
Turning back any advance from a healthy Vingo will at least be UAE’s biggest goal of 2025. Pogi is usually slightly less interested. I’m guessing he’ll want to repeat Flanders, prevail in MSR, win the vuelta, and try to retain his WC stripes for 2026 as his biggest goals.I don't like to underestimate Vingegaard.

Well, Eddy kind of change the narrative...

Important indicator is overall team performance. If the team is super far ahead of everyone else as well, then it's more likely other teams will catch up at some point.Well, Pogacar clearly upped his level this year, while Vingegaard certainly couldn't be in absolute top form after that horrific accident.

Jonas has to establish his own recovery level. Between the injuries he's sustained and the rushed re-entry into Tour training he may be more than a season from his best.Well, Pogacar clearly upped his level this year, while Vingegaard certainly couldn't be in absolute top form after that horrific accident.

Especially with more teams with budgets to buy talent. Sometimes you can succeed by subtracting from another's resources.Important indicator is overall team performance. If the team is super far ahead of everyone else as well, then it's more likely other teams will catch up at some point.
