Teams & Riders Tadej Pogačar discussion thread

If UAE decide to ditch their sh*t Colnagos mid-season, I'm a size 54/56 depending on top tube angle.

here 51-52 top tube
but since Colnago is owned by an UAE fund, they won't get rid of those for a long while I think

I'm 194cm. I guess I'm out of luck.

Maybe you could buy one of Stake Laengen's bikes?

Had to look up the guy. I'll email him.

 

[Elos Anjos]

So, where's a good spot to order Pogacar and cycling related posters/photos with the purpose of framing them in my room?

 

[SHAD0W93]

But really what is the difference at world tour level? Even the worst teams have bikes that are better, and set up and maintained better than any of you ever have.

I don’t know what the exact details would be but if things are close, it could be the difference of a couple seconds of one winning over the other.

I think no one is arguing about different strands of technology in bicycles making a difference.
It was just the case that Boonen quantified that difference out of the blue like no one thought about that.
Hogwash.
Edit: perhaps this will get out of hand and turns into a scapegoat for Pogacar underperforming, but that only shows how toxic and obnoxious people with media exposure can be. They are entitled to talk about everything just because they are celebrities.

Absolutely if Pog or anyone gets beat by more than 30 seconds I’d be hard pressed to blame the equipment unless we see it literally fall apart.

With the way he’s sprinting lately he could be at risk of ripping off the bars like Van der Poel.

Hell yeah!!! What a rider. Can't wait for July

Daddy is home

Still the goat of cold and *** weather!

Caught and slaughtered the warmwater fish today.

This looked so easy. He is wonderful rider to watch.

Tadej is a bad ass. Really no weaknesses in his game. Impressive to watch, always, and a great sportsman. Always has good things to say about the competition. Much respect for the young man.

That smile!

 

[Baldinger]

Yeah, I really don't get why people find that smile so charming.

And he appears to be well like by his colleagues aswell. Very cool for someone so good.

Congrats TP!
Great spring so far...

 

[Red Rick]

Pog is nice and all.

But there's not enough heartbreak supporting him.

I'll pass.

 

[Elos Anjos]

Yeah, I really don't get why people find that smile so charming.

They're all stress loaded, fatigue loaded and the guy just smiles...it's disarming and beautiful.

It's not like he is smiling to the camera while struggling to hang on. He just loves the extra attention.

Waiting for CN to start calling him "The Night King" in 3...2...1...

I think you're very wrong about Tadej. He's very light hearted and not an egomaniac.

 

[Panda Claws]

Biggest talent since Boonen

 

[Red Rick]

Biggest talent since Boonen

That's a very weird start of your timeframe given that Pogacar is much more talented than Boonen.
