Teams & Riders Tadej Pogačar discussion thread

Well Slovakia had a worse team than Slovenia and Sagan manage to win it 3 times so I wouldn't rule out Pogi winning it 4 times. Even if he wins it 'just' 3 times, he would already equal Merckx and he can also get something like a WCTT or the Olympic RR gold too.
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.
 
Vingegaard is downplaying his chances and putting pressure on Pogacar. Smart move!
It's reality. He has to rebuild his confidence and his form so self-realization is the first step. The other steps are much bigger, though.
Pogacar, Remco, Primoz will all be tests for Jonas.

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

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).
