Urška Žigart departs Liv AlUla Jayco, bolsters AG Insurance-Soudal's climbing team in 2025

'It was hard to think about changing because change brings new people, relationships, equipment, and challenges, but change can also bring growth' says Slovenian Champion

Urska had her best season this year and looks really good. It’s also a team that suites her a lot. 2 year deal probably means that he isn’t doing less racing days in 2026 because they are going to have children like everyone is speculating 😅

All this talk of not wanting to ride three GT in a season to give his teammates a shot at winning and not wanting to do more than one GT a year at the most. It’s got me thinking. Is pogi softening? Is the pressure he’s getting from eating everyone’s lunch getting to him?

Because he’s got to stop this. He isn’t going to win forever. But he can win a lot right now. Get it while you can because it can change in a blink of an eye

Pogi needs 2 more years to win the stage races he hasn't won. Then he can go all in for PR and MSR, if he still hasn't won the latter.

Three GTs in one season will never ever happen.

The other part is an overreation.

Very interesting post. This is the reason LA was unique, that badass attitude made him a champion, even if we don't like it.

Vingegaard was at home after his 2023 Tour win and still managed to almost win the Vuelta. He would win, specially against a weaker field

We dont know that. Vinge still "only" had one GT in his legs, as compared to two. I think also think you disregard the mental aspects of being away, preparation included.

Dont think it would have been good or that he should try it. Would be dumb and potentially detrimental.

Pog achieved his goal and then he was done both physically/mentally as he said himself.

I think setting a goal of winning all three in the same season would just be foolish.

We know. Vingegaard said it. He spent time in Danmark.

I respect his decision but as a cycling fan I would love to see something unique and never done it before even if we never saw Pogacar at his best again. I think he would pull it off but triple crown is also a incredible feat.

I am saying winning Vuelta after the Tour is not that hard and he would win 2024 Vuelta easily in March shape

Pointless then to quote me, as that wasnt the discussion.

Winning the Vuelta after "only" doing the Tour is a completely different thing.

You dont know that and it is a big assumption. Disregarding other factors such as physical and mental fatigue.

Like I said it's my opinion, you feel free to disagree. I think with some days resting (7-10 days) and then 2 weeks of hard training, he would show a decent shape and that would be enough to win the Vuelta.

No, I think he needed the rest/break and then to focus on Worlds/Lombardia to be in a good place both mentally/physically.

I think trying the triple would not have done him any good at all and it would have been really stupid, possibly affecting him going into next season.
