Last year Pogacar did the deemed impossible Giro- Tour double. Next year he will try the Flemish classics combined with the Ardennes classics. Bold bold guy it stretches over a long time span, but after this season nothing is out of reach for Tadej. Cool to see he continuously trying on and break all sorts of norms/records.

If he didn't crash in 2023 LBL, he would win RVV + Ardennes treble. Don't see where this is a bold move.

For most people winning the E3/flandern and the Ardennes classics in the same seasons is not deemed possible it stretches over to long time and has been the norm for ages. Doesnt apply to Pogacar ofcourse but nevertheless another feat which is not normal by other riders besides him. Point is he continues to break norms which are just remarkable to see.

I think we both can agree that we can't aplly to others what we aplly to Pogacar. My argument was valid because he already did this in 2023. Of course this schedule is unthinkable to everyone not named Pogacar but Pogacar can do it. He already showed he is able to do it.

New Pog suit. Also, his hands seem more vascular, must be hitting the gym. Soon he'll be as buff are Remco.

According to page 11 of this, which I came across while looking for something else, the 'rainbow' bands should be 26% of the vertical height of the jersey, and the sponsors' logos 20%, whereas the latter is obviously much bigger than the former here.

I’m torn here between objective facts (exploding public interest) and a few randos engaged in conspiracy theories.

No offense to the randos. Good luck in unlocking the truth!

Pogacar is for sure the nr 1 attraction to cycling and why more people are watching. Me included I think that goes without saying that he is if anything by far the biggest reason why cycling is growing in popularity as it does.

Just a mockdraft but I like this for RVV and seems plausible or at least something like it.

An ensemble off Wellens, Politt, Florian Vermeersch, Bjerg, Morgado and Narvaez, Baroncini or Herregodts.
Along with Pogacar thats literally insane.

Pogacar is unbeatable with this team. UAE is now the major team in classics. They literally have 2/3 domestiques able to rip the peloton apart before Pogacar’s attack.

Yeah so good most of them top 15 riders themselves, crazy strong team looking forward to watch it in action.

Also saw a interview about the talented Pablo Torres. ''Pablo Torres on meeting and training with new teammate Tadej Pogacar - "The rider who has inspired me the most to get here"
When are people here expecting if at all in the coming years he to become a part of Pogacar GT mountain helpers or is to many years untill, what do people expect?

This young generation is doomed to work for Pogacar. Pogacar will not slow down until 2028 at least

Thats a pscycho team. UAE is maneuvering really smart(age wice aswell). The only rider I woulda want which they didnt get was Lazkano he would be perfect in the Tour train for medium mountains and flats for many years aswell as the classics. Poor mans Van Aert he will be, just better at climbing even. But UAE is killing it like no other team and its not only money they are being really smart about their moves and have for a long time.

No clue yet. Certainly won’t be in a GT this year (I think). Broe thinks he’s too talented to not ride soon and compete in a GT
