Get ready ladies & gentleman, 🐐 is finally admitting it🤩 cipressa attack is incoming! Here is how, polit,bjerg position the team to the front for the tre cappis as the race will start from there on. Novak all out on the first two cappis then narvaez all out like sprint on capo berta(2km@7%) with around 25 guys left in the peleton & 37km to go then narvaez will do what formolo did in 2022(dragging the field to the start of poggio) riding for 11 km till the start of cipressa(26km to go) then wellens 1km all out on the 5.6 km climb then the rest is history... i've been dreaming about this since i saw his 🌈 form. If he is in his worlds form by then he wins it by more than a minute

Just bring back Manie and he will give us a 90 km solo

It would be a mistake to only have climbers left for the flat before Cipressa. Better to save someone like Bjerg for that.

Why is that? After the finish of berta its only 11 kms till the start of cipressa. Do you think any domestique will come back after narvaez goes ballistic on his speciality climb?

That depends on who and how many pull the peloton before the start of Cipressa. If Narvaez goes all-out on Berta, he won't have the power to keep the dropped riders behind for all that flat on his own.

Giro d’Italia
Tour de France
Vuelta d’Espagna

I fixed the list. Should Pog race all of them then there will be a clean sweep. We shall discuss this at this time next year and realize that it would be a thing never happened before and to never happen again.

I like this. It’s one or the other. I happen to think uae favors another assault on worlds+Lombardia and would save the treble for a different year. Next year they can also fully gird up to see what a healthy Vingo poses for their tdf defense.

P-R is another consideration. He might feel some interest to start riding P-R straight away if he can finally solve MSR.

It’s a little insane to be talking about how to tactically maximize a season with this many goals. But here we are

Is it possible pogi is saying earlier than the cipressa? Because they tried it last year and the favorites busted up the uae train in the bottle neck before the foot of the cipressa
Click to expand...
Possibility of his saying would be a super hard capo berta where they hope to drop many domestiques of other teams so that they avoid last years chaos before cipressa and he would launch there

What Pog does right now, is a proper snooze fest. It's so predictable and boring (like F1 in Schumacher Ferrari era). You know, he can jump anytime he wants and no one can follow. Another xx km solo for the win. If that's not boring, i don't know what it is.

Every dominance like that becomes boring quick. Fanboys are happy, because they only chase the latest winners and will climb on the next bandwagon, when Pog slows down. And Pog real fans are happy for sure. Every other cyclists fan will probably skip the next race Pog is in, because why bother watching one guy winning and other kids playing in the background?

Good thing is, nothing lasts forever and cycling can change quickly.

Yeah, breakaway riders need 5 minutes before the start of a climb to have a chance.

The problem is Pogi can't drop MVP or WVA. How is Pogacar going to drop them?
Click to expand...
Hope they either have a bad day or end up looking at each other. They hesitate or get boxed in it might be over. You need some luck in MSR no matter who you are.

Last year MVDP didnt ride for himself. He might ride for Philipsen again if he is there.

There are just a lot of different factors or scenarios that could be played out.
