Don’t mess with success!Is it too much hoping for him and Urska to get married this winter? I think they have been officially engaged for a few years now. It would be the perfect way to end the year.

Just amazing.Monumental season from Pogačar with a perfect finish.
He is now a seven time monument winner just like Boonen and Cancellara.
Pogs year but that is not a bad spread of riders winning the big races. The stars delivered.View: https://twitter.com/CafeRoubaix/status/1845126511168241897
2024 was Pogacar
Number 2 in the spring was MVP
Number 2 in the fall was Remco
Incredible ride. The autumn'24 version of Pogacar is heavier than the summer one but in terms of pure power it must be the strongest ever.
Crazy but indeed he just seems to gain more power from the Tour demolision even and tbh hardly that weird considering his age (which is crazy to think about, he is in that age he should only get stronger) and the fact about the new training is just getting implemented.My eyes almost came out of their sockets when I saw the time gap. Greatest season of all time and would be a touchy act to beat. Insane year for Pogacar who’s looked to improve every race.

Is it safe to say he is looking good for next season? Or to early to tell maybe.
I was joking btw in regards to next year But MSR yeah will remain his hardest race to win regardless how much stronger he is duo to the nature of the course me thinks. Or remove MVDP and I think hes alone at the finish line.5 months is a long time, we will see. If he's as dominant next spring he will have his best chance to date in MSR and will have a decent shot even at PR.
Can't argue with that. In an era where the playing field was supposed to be level, he moved the goalposts 10 yards, to mix and mangle metaphors...Hats of to Pogacar for the best season ever. Chapeau Teddy.
We can still debate it.Gilbert in 2011 was better than Boonen in 2005
MSR is a race any rider can win, because it is a race where many scenarios can play out.I never thought pog would win msr in anytime but seeing what he does at worlds & today i think winning it next year is looking more likely. I think he was not on such form earlier this year but with his worlds form if he goes all out on cipressa he will drop everybody
Yeah, but he won't drop them for good. There will be fairly big group with a lot of (fresh) helpers and they will reel him in.I never thought pog would win msr in anytime but seeing what he does at worlds & today i think winning it next year is looking more likely.

He said recently he would go to grave to win msr i.e he would probably try cipressa all out cause poggio on 3% he cant drop mvdp even if he goes all outMSR is a race any rider can win, because it is a race where many scenarios can play out.
The beauty of that race is it may be a race Pog might never win, despite being as great as he is.
We will just have to wait and see.
It will be interesting. He will keep trying. It could work, but he could in other ways as well or always be coming close.He said recently he would go to grave to win msr i.e he would probably try cipressa all out cause poggio on 3% he cant drop mvdp even if he goes all out
