Nice interview during Mywhoosh coffee ride; clearly trying and also clearly failing to get someone to adjust the thermostat.

Reminds me of the Catalunya post-stage interview when he said he had hurried up on the last climb, in the hope to be interviewed in a warm room.

Interesting stuff about his training. He went on a 5 hour ride with Politt and Rune recently. He loves training with power horses in undulating terrain.

He said this bike is 300g heavier which means he will only use this bike in flat TTs and flat stages. I don't believe he will use in the high mountains.

Thats the bike but not Pogacars bike. Its normal he will use some slighty different moderation and materials so most likely 150-300 grams lighter than the original version and even what teammates have. I expect he will use it during the entire classic season and flat/rouler stages during GT.

More and more use aero bikes even in high mountains but if he will I dont know depends on how much they can trim or maybe other stuff, most likely not on high mountain stages I would be surprised but it remains to be seen.

The UCI or maybe even the war crimes panel over in Geneva need to step in and do something about these white skinsuits. He looks like he's wearing a nappy.

Black shorts should be mandatory.

Yes nothing wrong with ambition. But Pogacar is the greatest rider we have seen since Merckx. I can’t see Ayuso beating Pogacar until Pog is in age related decline. In the meantime, whilst he gets paid big money to ride for UAE, Ayuso’s job is to support Pogacar. His own ambitions must be secondary.

"I dream of being like him, so to do that I would have to beat him" - Juan Ayuso determined to reach Tadej Pogacar's level

At their December training camp, UAE Team Emirates confirmed both Juan Ayuso and Adam Yates for the Giro d'Italia in 2025. Whether the pair will form a dual-pronged leadership strategy for UAE Team Em...

He is crazy. Can't wait to see him gettimg demolished by Vingegaard in the Giro (or even Roglic).

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.

Of course he is. He is like Messi or Ronaldo for football or Djokovic, Nadal and Federer for tennis.
People wants to watch the best cyclist since Barnard Hinault, one day maybe even since Eddy Merckx.

Cycling is still not what used to be. It is a shame Pogacar is slovenian, maybe if he was from a big nation, cycling could get his popularity back.

Cycling is blossoming like never before in Europe now. USA is different and a big market but naturally since its no big american name at the top of the sport and after lance that market is now not what it used to be. But cycling in europe is blossoming like never before right now and cycling as a whole have never been more attractive.

I dont know how much this is beacuse of Pogacar effect or not but cycling is more attractive than I can remember anytime before. The amount of money sponsors are willing to throw into the sport now and deem a good return compared to before is night and day.

Im a old man and remember Lance era very well.
But that was duo to the draw of the US market which is huge in Europe alone cycling is bigger now than in that era. But overall yes but again duo to US market nothing else. In europe its still bigger now than it was then.

Not just US market. He was big in Europe too and the Tour grew massively in popularity due to his presence.
