Teams & Riders Tadej Pogačar discussion thread

[Peyroteo94]

@mou is likely a psyops campaign so who knows what goes on inside the peleton. Pogi doesn't strike me as being armstrong level petty. But the headgames between camps is definitely credible/possible

He is a good guy, that's obvious. However, he is a killer, a winner, a huge champion.

Romain Bardet said in this French interview that Pogi didnt know how to train up to 2024 lol

"I'm surprised, but at the same time, he put together the immense potential that we saw in him. Apparently, he didn't know how to train. Now he knows." "He's so superior... It's hard to explain. I don't spend a lot of time looking for explanations."

Bardet : "Apparemment, Pogacar ne savait pas s'entraîner"

Romain Bardet a été, comme beaucoup si ce n'est tous, impuissant face à Tadej Pogacar en 2024. Le Français de DSM-Firmenich PostNL nous en parle, entre autres.

It baffled me they didnt do any basic specific training such as intervalls 4 X 3mintue VO2 max sessions - after long endurance blocks to induce more fatigue beforehand. Or lactate and fatigue metabolite clearence training such as 3x15minutes at tempo for long blocks at 80% and 6 x 15 second sprints every 10min, again into endurance blocks, which has come to light he does alot now.

The gap in numbers from him to everyone else now is gigantic in all metrics.. Nvm everything else within various training methods which has been highlighted as day and night from before, to positioning and basic stuff.
I believe his training went from a Fiat to a well calculated Bugatti in terms of professionalism from a to z.

There isn't any rider who will come close to him (bar Vingegaard) in the next 5 years. And if Vingegaard isn't able to follow him in the Tour, Pogacar has a free ride to become the all time record holder of GT wins. Vingegaard really needs to find an extra gear if he wants to beat Pogacar. If not cycling will be boring. MVP will not last more than 3 years so Pogacar will dominate every single classic (even PR in the future).

I think we may to accept that Sola is something of a revolutionary as well. I mean obviously the bald fraud was missing elements top teams like Visma were utilizing. But UAE couldn't have been entirely out to lunch with Pogi.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

I think he will dominate until 2059. You gotta remember that he had never done any training on a bike before 2024. He used to sit in a couch for six hours a day while San Millán screamed "zone 2" into his ears through a didgeridoo.

Try that in another thread boyz and see what happens. ;-)

Pog when he catches a stage-leading Jorgensen 500m from the finish line on a MTF.

We already have a route for UAE Tour. The same boring race. 4 flat stages, 2 unipuertos stages where jebel jais is a mountain sprint and jebel hafeet is where Pogacar will win 45 seconds with one leg. Finally, we have a pancake flat TT.

And Strade Bianche too. They added a new 9.3 km sector in the middle of the race. Another 80 km solo in coming

That middle section of the race has around 50km of gravel roads in just 70km of distance ridden as well as containing some significant climbing.

The race will have been shredded even before Pogacar engages anything more than zone 2.

This is a far higher percentage of the route as off-road than Paris - Roubaix and should really see them arrive exhausted 5+ minutes behind Pog in ones and twos.

Pogi loves excellence and therefore loves Jorg

@mou was the only soul speaking of the things, and in this forum, when Bruyneel talked about in that video.

UAE Tour should start in Italy, like lately with grand tours starting somewhere else.

He created an account after Mou's legendary takes.

Because he rides for Visma, Pog will not let anyone from that team win if he can help it bar potential mind games with Vingegaard.

2nd Tour de Pologne.

As a Pole I’m embarrassed for what organizers are saying about this race. The Director of the race said sometime ago that TdP is the third most important race int the World after Tour and Giro. Sorry for that off-top guys.
