Teams & Riders Tadej Pogačar discussion thread

Page 436 - Get up to date with the latest news, scores & standings from the Cycling News Community.
there are 4 areas that make a GC champion: TT, resistance and adaptation to weather conditions (rain, cold, heat), ability to climb big hills and properly done altitude... of course there is nothing without talent, talent is the base no matter what you say , now Pog had a good TT from 2020-2023, he was not consistent and had a hard time holding the aero position, he is excellent in the rain and cold, but *** him, the Tour is in July and he is very bad in high heat, on big hills he is excellent but the heat is killing him slowly day by day and he is very poorly trained at altitude, which was definitely shown in the spring of 2023 when he was not at altitude, San Millan's altitude brings more damage to him, and now tell me how is it possible that Pog is the best cyclist in the world with these mistakes (flaws), how will Vingo get him on the Tour if he fixes all these mistakes to the elite level, the answer is clear to everyone except the haters, and for them 😘😘😘
What do you think Mr Mou Man, Pogi to launch on Cipressa now that Del Toro is riding, or pinning it all on Poggio again?


Hope we get Le Manie but that seems unlikely

I assume the talk in the Pogi/UAE camp must have went something like this:

Ok, so who should we leak information to in order to create hype for Pogi?

How about Benji Naesen? Nah, he's too close to Visma

Ammattipyöräily then? He's a number's guy. Or maybe people like Mihai Simion, Naichaca or The Cycling Podcast team?

No, there's only one person who'll be right for this job: Random Croatian Man!


Anyway, I can't wait for the big showdown on Saturday. I'll be glued to the screen from kilometre zero.
only I'm not a "random Croatian man" but a relative of a man who currently spends more days with Pog than his entire family in the last 4-5 years😉 and in whom Pog trusts and what I'm doing here is to ignite these haters a little with the truth about what is happening in the camp of the best cyclist in the world and if the UAE knew about this Gianneti would personally *** my mother
 
you think Mcnulty is sick😉😉😉. Pogacar adores little Del Toro and how he helped him destroy Strade Bianche, 15 minutes ago I received a message that Pog asked Matxin to include him, Matxin was not thrilled with the idea, that he had not recovered from Tireno, that he is young, 10 minutes later a message comes to Matxin from MATAR SUHAIL AL YABHOUNI AL DHAHERI and Del Toro has miraculously recovered and headed from San Marino to San Remo so miracles are always possible when you have the number of the real boss of the UAE

Matxin and Pog do not have a close relationship, Matxin supports his Ayuso and although he publicly praises Pog that he is the only leader, why did he never put Ayuso in the race to help Pog, Ayuso does everything not to help Pog and when he is in the race, he gives up halfway through races for no reason like at Emillia 2023, Ayuso will perform at Amstel and Fleche but not at Liege because of Pog, Matxin is more of a scout in the UAE and the best scout in the world and the real boss is Matar to whom Gianneti is accountable and the only one besides Gianneti who has Matar the number is Pog, but he is friendly towards everyone, he doesn't see bad in anyone, but when people close to him point out what Matxin is doing, then Pog calls the sheik and miraculously Wellens doesn't perform today and Mcnulty is "sick"

My issue is with a rider that can dictate LAST MINUTE who should help him
 
Pog is the boss of the UAE whom Matar adores as his son and he just needs to tell him what the problem is and everything is solved in 1 minute, only Pog doesn't use it and he should, he is friends with everyone, he thinks everyone wishes him well, Hirschi behaves more like a star than Pog at gatherings, an ordinary good guy without a trace of evil, that's why he has a real experienced Hauptman with him who guides him in these situations
 
I think he knows more than us, and then exaggerates
Either way it is strange to say the things you are saying and basically swallowing it all up. Just goes to show you how in your head this guy is. It just entertaining, whether or not what he says is true. You should probably try to pass it by instead of reacting to every post.

Because it is not strange if a rider of Pog stature can decide on who he wants to go with him. Not strange at all. It is not an issue that Pog has that right, going into one of the biggest races he will do this season. He is on his way to becoming one of the most legendary riders of the sports history.

It is not UAE being a joke. Trying to optimize their team and tactics for this race. They have many great riders to choose from. Maybe, for example, McNulty hasnt recovered as they had hope after PN. Maybe he did get sick after it. Have to factor in the rain and cold that they rode in. After the race his immune system could have been down and caught something. Who knows.

Think about it, instead of getting angry over this guys posts. It is just funny. Dont find it funny? Dont react.

You are of course free to swear and get angry, take it as an opportunity to go at UAE... say other stuff about things you and me (most people on here) have no idea about. Be my guest.
 
and now you tell me that it's normal for San Remo, where Pog's intention is to destroy Cippresa, that Matxin sends Laengen, Ullisi, Covi, Hirschi and not Wellens, Del Toro, McNulty, Bjerg, and that Wellens is sent to races of 190 km 13-14. and San Remo 16.3, if that's not sabotage, I don't know what is

but let me ask the haters, how did Wellens drive today, so you see that I know better than the UAE who drives for them, because when Pog says Wellens has to appear in Milan today, then even the official twitter of the UAE is not relevant

The twitter post that fooled me was probably scheduled. I'm sure the UAE sports directors know who will be competing where on what day, but the social media person probably forgot to update the tweet. A little digging on the internet revealed that Wellens had already said in his post-Nokere Koerse interview that he would not be going to Denain and would be concentrating on San Remo - https://www.hln.be/wielrennen/jaspe...ere-koerse-jokers-in-milaan-sanremo~afd7b852/

no, the tweet was published in the evening around 8 in the evening, I immediately said that Wellens would not perform tomorrow, and then around 9 in the evening a denial came through, how could I be sure in that 1 hour that he would not perform, look at the slightly better time of the announcement on X and here on the forum, there are people here who can confirm that😉

it is not Wellens who decides where he will perform, but the team, and since Bjerg is sick, one place was left open and they put Wellens to perform and it was confirmed until Pog reacted and then they said it was a mistake, that's how it was my friend

The article was published at '13-03-24, 19:49' in which Wellens says he will now focus on San Remo https://www.hln.be/wielrennen/jaspe...ere-koerse-jokers-in-milaan-sanremo~afd7b852/
