Pogi ripping up some random cobbles in some forest at the north of France.

I'm so fu##ing hyped right now!!! Let's go Tadej, bring us hell this year in hell of the north!!

 

[Peyroteo94]

As far as I could tell they only rode it on the flat stages, old bikes used for climbing stage.

And TTs?

F**k it’s really happening 😍
Please do it, Tadej.

I think the outcome of MSR and Flanders will decide that.

 

[Tymek]

Yeah, me too. Probably he will ride it only if he’ll win MSR and Flanders. That’d give him chance to win 5 monuments in one year.

He'd be the actual winner of the 5 monuments plus World Champion for 2 weeks.
Not that I believe it will happen, just a chance for something that is unlikely to be repeated.

 

[Tymek]

Well, probably for even more. Assuming he wins PR, he would have to win LBL to extend this for the next two months and in opposition to PR there almost isn’t any scenario beside crash he loses LBL.
Also he could become actual winner of 5 monuments, Giro, Tour and of course actual WC.

3D chess by Teddy: he's just trolling MVP hoping for his heart attack and as a result an easy Milan-San Remco victory.

I’d sacrifice strade, e3, gw, amstel, and fw for MSR - RVV - PR - LBL schedule

 

[Wyndbrook]

And TTs?

Ugh, there wasn't one.

 

[YavorD]

The first time I saw GW in his schedule I thought that he was leaving the door open for Roubaix.

But I see him miss Amstel and FW if..

 

[James M]

And TTs?

There isnt a new TT bike as far as I know atleast. They only dropped a new aero bike, Y1RS, they will continue to ride the TT1 time trial bike. Unless you mean modifications/setup etc.

 

[James M]

Poor guys, already wakeless nights and now they have this to worrie about aswell. Jasper should just order sleeping pills and be done with it.

MvdP seeing the "Pog to Roubaix" news

 

[Poursuivant]

I didn’t realise he had not ruled it out for 2025 in a December interview. Interesting.

As others have mentioned, I think it will depend on winning MSR and RVV.

Could be straight up trolling. Time will tell

What if we think a bit bolder: If Pogi manages to win MSR and Flanders... he should try Paris-Roubaix. If he wins all three, he'll also get LBL and Lombardia!!! He will be the first cyclist in history to win all five monuments in one season. That would be unforgettable. If he doesn't win Paris-Roubaix, he'll still have four monuments... and still hold the record... because only Eddy Merckx has three monuments in the same year. So, our Tadej is once again on the path to eternity... HALL OF FAME - GOAT!!!

Of course it's off at this moment.
Doesn't make much sense to go there before he wins San Remo.

 

[Didinho]

He couldn't keep up with cameraman Wellens. It's all good.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Hasn’t he done the same joke before?

 

[Red Rick]

Why should Sanremo matter for riding Roubaix?

IMO the only thing that matters is how fatigued you are after RVV and if you're risking Liege. But he wins Liege if he wakes up from a 6 day binge drinking coma as well

 

[YavorD]

Why should Sanremo matter for riding Roubaix?

Because winning San Remo gives him (probably) once of a life time chance to win all the monuments (and WC to be honest) in the same year. IMHO that would be the biggest factor to go there.

 

[hayneplane]

Kind of but that time it was genuine tour cobbled stage recon whereas this year there are no other flat cobbles on his schedule to prep for.

There's literally the next 10 years.
