Teams & Riders Tadej Pogačar discussion thread

No that's been known for a while. He's doing Catalunya.

And Pogacar is not racing Catalunya, he is avoiding Remco!!

I guess the road is paved for a Van Aert win in Tirreno, then.

Pogi vs Jonas at PN and Rogla vs Remco at Catalunya. That works for me. As a recipe for the 2023 season appetizer.

 

[Red Rick]

Parijs-Nice instead of Tirreno. Another surprise.

That sounds like bs to me.

 

[CyclistAbi]

Pog races Tirreno. Unless Vingegaard races the Ardennes they will not meet before the Tour de France

This seems to not yet be decided. One article posted in this thread already and some information emerged in local media:

Po začetku sezone v Andaluziji v marcu na Pariz–Nico in soočenje z Vingegaardom?

Tadej Pogačar začenja peto sezono med kolesarsko elito. Zadnja tri leta je začel z zmagami, a na etapnih dirkah, ki ga v Andaluziji čaka v nadaljevanju tedna. Tik pred zdajci je Pogi spremenil tekmovalni program, zdaj ga mika še Pariz–Nica z Vingegaardom.

PN hence could happen.

How will Remco take this? Left all alone in some desert. And if we exclude national campaigns. Which Slovenian will take the most wins in 2023 season?

 

[Salvarani]

Starting the season off right with a great win in Jaen!

His palmares is already quite amazing.

 

[Red Rick]

First rider to do the Strade -Jaen double.

 

[Elos Anjos]

Welcome back Tadej!

What the heck, on PCS it was showing the race still hadn’t started yet so I didn’t even watch. 36km solo it’s saying?

 

[Lequack]

He went and did it, won the biggest gravel race in Spain

No, he has races to win that he likes. Have you watched coverage of the UAE Tour? Remco will do what makes sense and focus on his own form. He's the WC and isn't worrying about the program of others, or shouldn't be.

Makes it look so easy sometimes.

Remco will come to the same conclusion as Tadej....this UAE race is alot of logistics and dust.

There you go, Remco fans. He's prepping for the Tour. Remco is not. Seems like both guys will have fun.

 

[Extinction]

Chapeau, although the field quality was not that of Strade Bianche, however, he is evidently in fine form.

 

[Nick2413]

He went over 41k solo in the last hour including gravel and some climbs, yikes

 

[Salvarani]

People can say what they want about the field and so on... but is was quite the statement to everyone with the classics starting in a few weeks.

 

[CyclistAbi]

Congratulations for taking the win. I do wonder if peloton was notified of the mechanical. Likely not.

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

I'm not convinced. He lost 45 seconds in only 10 meters.

 

[CyclistAbi]

Looking at the calendar it's now i guess official. Pogi is doing PN.

 

[KZD]

Great performance from Pogačar to win Clasica Jáen. May he never stop having racing like this. As for him riding Paris-Nice, I am a bit surprised especially given that the hilly stages in Tirreno would suit him really well and in Paris Nice there is a TTT so its going to be difficult for him to beat Vingegård
