If I were Rabobank, I too would scream at the top of my lungs that it is completely unnecessary for Pogi to improve any further, and that he should be fine with only trying to replicate this season for next year.

He was probably making a confession to a friend. Not very friendly from RasmussenThough...
Am I the only one who finds weird for it to being voiced from someone with such position in a team like Visma?
I mean, it could easily be true but one would think that either Maassen would've kept it for himself or at the very least he would've told Rasmussen that it was 'off the book'.
'Cause as juicy as it is, if Rasmussen is now working in the media space I doubt he wants to burn bridges with such a important source, over a single scoop.
@mou told us last winter pogi would not lose a GT or any race for 4-5 year too
Next year could be shaping up to be an all out assault on monuments
Apart from Ciciban race Sanremo.
Just bring back Manie and he will give us a 90 km soloView: https://x.com/laflammerouge16/status/1845539932477231536?t=WhJx3jFULBQk2OwsGQIjbA&s=19
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

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.SAN SEBASTIAN

It would be a mistake to only have climbers left for the flat before Cipressa. Better to save someone like Bjerg for that.Get ready ladies & gentleman, 🐐 is finally admitting it🤩 cipressa attack is incoming!

Its all about putting as many kilojoules as possible on his rivals. In 2022 formolo rode with around 25-30 riders on his wheel till the start of poggioIt would be a mistake to only have climbers left for the flat before Cipressa. Better to save someone like Bjerg for that.
No he doesn't need that he's a 🐐 for a reasonJust bring back Manie and he will give us a 90 km solo
You can do that after Cipressa because of the time gaps. Not possible from Berta to Cipressa.Its all about putting as many kilojoules as possible on his rivals. In 2022 formolo rode with around 25-30 riders on his wheel till the start of poggio
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?You can do that after Cipressa because of the time gaps. Not possible from Berta to Cipressa.
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.Why is that?

Men, its not like he is racing for the win.. his race will end at the foot of cipressaThat 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.
The problem is: will Narvaez not burn UAE domestiques with an all out pace?Men, its not like he is racing for the win.. his race will end at the foot of cipressa
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.Giro d’Italia

Its all about the kilojoules game that matters in this race he has to hurt many with the hope wellens hung on to it. I hope uae are smart enough as visma are in order to win the race.The problem is: will Narvaez not burn UAE domestiques with an all out pace?
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 thereIs 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
