Teams & Riders Tadej Pogačar discussion thread

[Froome]

GOAT. Here, my quota reached, of mandatory writing GOAT in this thread.

The GOAT of stage racing, the GOAT of long range defence, Roglic.

 

[Extinction]

Sagan's career proved he was a self-sufficient animal. He lulled the competition to sleep and made decisive moves at the end of the race. He was magical in that sense for the WC's.
Pogacar, as much as he can do couldn't beat MvP in a small break. After this year's title I doubt anyone will give him any slack at all making future titles tougher to come by. That said; if the competition doesn't race to win but only not to lose too badly then he can do whatever he wants.

If Pogacar rides like he did this year, he does what he wants regardless of what the others do.

 

[CyclistAbi]

The GOAT of stage racing, the GOAT of long range defence, Roglic.

GT winner in 2024 season. In GOAT Vuelta mode.

They seem to understand he has been undertrained throughout his career

Actually, in the CN interview it was written as "you get the feeling you're not even one of his rivals." And in this IG strip it's "we".. Which one is the original interview/text in this case?

I read his full interview on another article, he meant it. Rogla also with his recent interview looks like he is shitting himself for competing with pog 🤣 2024 pog what have u done to them😁

Not too long ago, Gargamel said Roglic didn't need to worry about his palmares because he won so much even if he doesn't win the Tour, he already won a lot. Younger riders (same generation as Pog) are the ones who should be worried because Pog won't give a chance to them. I agree 100% with this. Even Remco was resigned racing against Pogi. There was a rider (don't remember who) who says breakaway riders need a 5 minutes (to Pogacar) to fight for the win in MTF (long climbs).

He said he will probably race 2 GTs in the next couple of years. Can't wait for another triple crown in 2026

The best line from the season is when Pidcock said it felt like he was in the grupetto after Pogi attacked.

I am preferential to Pidcock's quote "what the fock... what the fock" at Strade finish

 

[proffate]

Bill Russell GOAT 11 championships !!! Jordan who , Lebron who ?

This is a bad example because his poor record in championships is exactly why LeBron is not in the goat convo. He's more like the Valverde of hoopers.

b/c no one has evolved from being human to alien in just a year.

🤔

Imagine if there was no mou to tell earlier in the year what was about to happen during the year, i guess pogi would have been under so much scrutiny from the media & the peleton b/c no one has evolved from being human to alien in just a year.

Anyone who thinks mou was not sent by pog is kind of foolish i guess

No. This one is better.
Tadej Pogacar: "I can see your ass."
Remco Evenepoel: "I would like to see more of yours and not from 500 meters away."

Jonas on Remcos wheel, "Remco, when will you attack?".
Remco, "I'm attacking"
Jonas, "I'll show you how to attack, see you at the finish line"
Remco having a Pidcok moment.

We’ll see this year how much influence the great @mou philosophy plays out as the season goes by. He showed up in the forum with the goods last winter, that’s certain

At worst he is 2nd best in history.

No need to worry for the next couple of years, he's signed up for military service.

At least he is bad at something

I don't think that kind of haircut (or its severity) is flattering on anyone, where's a helmet when you need it?

PSA for any young lads out there, you aren't meant to turn up a the hairdressers 5 minutes before it closes, please make sure the barber is using scissors and clippers, rather than a knife and fork.

It's obvious Pogi is better than Merckx. Only difference that makes Merckx the GOAT (yet) is his palmares compared to Pogacar. Pogacar winning all GTs (and 5 Tours) and monuments is enough to change this paradigm.
