Looks way too much like the Nadal logo lol

It's practically the same

It's practically the same

I didn't know what Nadal's logo looks like, but I looked it up and they are not the same. Not at all. Pogi' s logo is clearly a TP. Nadal...I don't know what it is. Maybe a bull?

 

[bob.a.feet]

Well. I won't tell what the logo reminds me of. In my opinion he should fire the designer and get a new one. This one is bad. But if Pogi is happy with it then OK. The world won't stop because of a logo.

Vaginal Gains.

By the way isn't he the wolf from Klanec in Komenda? They likely should just go with that. Or TP or something like that. Man you got money. Hire some real designers.

His first logo was a wolf.

 

[BR2]

It's a vagina. I don't know why he chose that as his logo, but it sure is a better choice than a d***.

 

[Lequack]

This was his previous one

Yes, a bull.

Well. After looking at it again (thanks Logic) , I will correct myself and say that they are not the same, but they still look pretty similar

Who cares about personal logos? Corporate rubbish that his management probably pushed onto him.

More important are his strides in the White Jersey all time ranking. Quoted from end of last years Tour:

Well, to update this from the beginning of this Tour, he's making big strides (although this year we mostly saw him in yellow). Overtook Quintana and Schleck and still has two eligible years to move ahead of Ullrich.

Quintana: 22 days (10 in 2013, 11 in 2015)
Schleck: 27 days (6+7+14 in 2008-2010)
Pogacar: 33 days (12+21 in 2020/21)
Ullrich: 52 days (14+21+17 in 1996-1998)

So he takes it on day one and is now on 34.

Current Jan Ullrich mood:

Strong TT today.

Pog's cornering was disastrous and he still only finished 7 seconds down. Crazy.

I pretty much knew what time it was when I saw his cocky attitude before the start.

 

[memyselfandI]

It was nowhere nearly as disastrous as dozens of so called top dogs, it was calculated smooth stuff and huge power for open sections. He's game on fully atm.

He could not risk crashing, which explains the Curves. On dry conditions he may well have won.

Clinic time?

It wasn't disastrous at all, it was pretty controlled. He mistimed one curve in the first part but the rest was good. And he definitely took the bridge chicane better than the majority of contenders, I think he took easily 3 seconds on Roglic there.

well, thats where you live

Worded that wrong. Controlled but (seemingly) slow - very risk averse is what I meant. I have to rewatch it, but it seemed like Pog was the most risk averse of them all.

Which makes sense if you're convinced that you're the best GT specialist by far. He certainly gives off that vibe. His confidence is off the charts. Not worried at all about dropping time to other GT specialists.

He could not risk crashing, which explains the Curves. On dry conditions he may well have won.

I think so, too. It would have been close.

Here in the USA the Dallas Stars NHL(National Hockey League) designed a third jersey (worn on special days limited many are now on third or fourth 3rd jersey Anyway it was supposed to be a interpretation of a bull's skull but the abstract art soon got the moniker: Mooterus LOL

I forgot to add it wasn't long after the that Moniker was made popular that the Jersey was eliminated except for team stores for those who actually liked them.

Kid is already in white. Time for some beast attacks

He rode intelligently. On dry pavement someone else would have won. It was a Lotta on conditions, for sure.

Just read in la Gazzetta dello Sport that Tadej prepared the Tour at altitude with a base at Livigno, where he frequently rode the Stelvio and Gavia. Apparently his Strava registered record ascents on these climbs, which he wanted to render public, despite not everyone (on the team?) agreeing. Anybody know about these record times?

 

[Extinction]

Apparently Tadej mangled his hand on the metal barriers.
