Some people don't understand what is silly season. Every sport has this, don't know why cycling would be different, speacially with such a long off season (normally 4 months for top riders).

Cool video, cheers. I wonder how much she has to answer about Pogacar all the time, must be rather annoying sometimes when you have your own cycling career when your boyfriend is the grim reaper himself.An interesting interview with Urska, I suspect the only way Visma may be able to beat Tadej is if they make him change his own tire

I wouldn't go that far. She is a fairly accomplished professional cyclist. We can't always be the best at what we do, but we can be the best at who we are.

Yea she gave an interview like last year saying she was trying to only talk about her racing when she races but was happy to talk about their relationship for other things. They probably vetted the questions before hand.
I agree it would be annoying but I guess she is used to it.

Pogacar explains how he made enormous progress last year: "It’s really an upgrade for me"
Before 2024, Tadej Pogacar was already a two-time Tour winner and had won five monuments. Last year, he added two more monuments, a Giro d'Italia and Tour de France victory, and a world title. The rid...

Interesting. If I remember correctly an interview I saw from San Millan, he basically explained that the training he provides allow for Pogi to maintain a very high level all year round.
In my opinion, this is the benefit from Z2 and his training formula, basically it is stimulating while not very taxing on the body. So he can basically "train good" all year round and maintain a very high level.
The problem is that this way you never really achieve your full potential, it is like you stay at 80% all the time, of course with someone as talented as Pogi, it is enough to win most of the time. But if you want to get to 100%, you need that big spark of intensity. Which is where I think Pogi has improved massively this past year and what he mentions as " more specific training ".
Cheap shot, she is a solid bike racer at very high level

No one would talk about her, let's be honest. Even in her interview, they were talking more about Tadej than about Urska and her cycling career.

He will have a hard time when he discovers it is all about legs
She is a WT level rider who has some deficiencies in her skill set. She's no mug as evidenced by her finishing 24th in the World's.

I just said she wouldn't be known. No one talks about Roger Adriá and he was 11th in Zurich.

Her closest comparison in the men’s peloton is someone like Ivan Sosa who can climb really well on their day but lack the all round skills to compete more widely.

Ivan was/is a better climber by far.
Urska has 6 wins, 5 were in Slovenian Nationals and 1 in Volta Valenciana probably after a breakaway.
I don't understand why some people get offended when I say she would be nobody.
Because she is not a nobody. That could possibly refer to a Conti level rider.

Ok, we have different opinions. A nobody is a anonymous rider. Fist of all, Women cycling doesn't have 1/10 of audience compared to the Men cycling. It doesn't matter if she is or isn't in the WT, she is just known as Pogacar's girlfriend.

You fail to understand that you are using offensive language by using the word 'nobody'. You could use more appropriate words to describe Zigart. I have previously mentioned Zigart's deficiencies as a rider, however, I do not need to use offensive language. Anyway, she is a good interviewee and you will see her on more podcasts in the future.
