Problem with mou is he miss his prediction , he told us 6,5w/kg for 30 min when in reality it was 6,9w/kg for 40min. He knows something but not a lot like we used to think. Nobody predict that Pogi will become the greatest climber of all time in 2024.
He missed pogis weight by .5-1 kg for the tour. But he did these projections months before they happened.
I don't think he will not come back. MSR doesn't affect his season at all. He can have different racing schedules and still race MSR in all of them.
Even the greatest storytellers have to leave some room for a magical surprise 😁
Agree. After PdB in the Tour I felt Pog was very “Mouish”. He destroyed Marco’s climbing record by 3 minutes. But by the end of the Tour he was making Mou’s predictions which we all thought were wild look conservative 😳. Then he went on to win Lombardia and the Worlds.
Next year, 6.6-6.7 w/kg in Mont Ventoux.
Best season of all times
Mont Ventoux is after a rest day.
And he is only progressing. Next year its gonne be cat and mouse to avoid him for their life.
This is one of the reasons I think Pogi will be on top of cycling for many years. He loves riding his bike! Even after his season, he is riding his bike. This is the main difference for Vingegaard. I think Vingegaard looks to cycling more as a job when Pogacar just loves to do it as a hobby.
I don't think we should assume that for Vingegaard. We really don't know much about him when he's not racing because he's not really active on social media.
I'm not saying Vingegaard doesn't like to ride his bike but I get the impression he wants to spend some time with his family without riding his bike.
On strava last week Urska was still putting in proper rides even after she finished her last race and joked she doesn't do offseason and pog replied "scared for how much we are going to ride next week" they have no chill
Theres many more significant reasons. While Vingegaard, Evenepoel and so on are terrific athletes, their not half as gifted genetically. Pogacar is simply better genetically gifted than anyone else ever been. Ive heard so many stories circulating from every rider today, masseuse's, mechanics, SD's, past riders stories of him on the bike and things which are abnormal.. Its so many its more a norm now of crazy things which for other are not normal but for him is, the aura around him and it goes from his rival teams to everyone, its very telling.
Thats why he is so talented and it is a big part behind his success. The guy lives for it.
Yes, he lives. It also helps to have a cyclist girlfriend
