So Tre Valli calcelled. No more racing in terrible weather and full focus on Lombardy now. @James M Saturday will be much better, some rain showers possible but generally it should be ok. Around 17 degrees near Lago di Como and likely around 10 degrees one kilometer higher (Sormano area).
Sounds good. Especially since that race can have a extra significant historic meaning than normal this year.

Pogi: "Can't we race a bit more, I was just going to attack."
Director: "Uh, it's raining cows and goats.."
Pogi: "It's just small puddles and natural cooling."
Director: "You'll get an Italian espresso and a large baguette directly from Nice. Just stop, please."
Pogi: "OK then."
 
UAE Team Emirates for Il Lombardia:
Jan Christen
Finn Fisher-Black
Marc Hirschi
Rafal Majka
Tadej Pogacar
Pavel Sivakov
Adam Yates

Thats a good roster. Wouldnt mind seeing Vine but thats a good roster for Lombardia.
No great surprise to see Ayuso drop out but Fisher-Black riding is surprising and would have expected Wellens to be there.
 
@mou projects pogi to add 5-10 watts in 2025 with stronger body
one thing is certain: his body has clearly changed compared to previous years. Probably due to the change of coach, and he is getting "older" but if you take his appearance compared to 2021/2022, today his body is more sculpted, visually you can appreciate the muscle bands etc. before he was stockier, bigger

Also its very easy to forget about Pogacar when he has been the best for so long that he is only 26, so he is also in that age where its natural he only will improve and get stronger which again is yeah crazy.
