Teams & Riders Tadej Pogačar discussion thread

[Salvarani]

What was goo about it? With 3-4km to go at the Cipressa everyone was cooked and tempo dropped considerably. Not how you can win this race. Is it easy? No. But the showing was simply not good. Del Toro and Wellens did put in some sacrifice and did well, Novak and Covi as expected but you know - there are two more riders.

Things could have been better, things could been worse.

Saying it was awful is just not correct in my opinion.

Perfect it will probably never be. Not in this race. It is why it will probably be the biggest challenge to win, as it is for anyone.

Ok, then we agree to disagree. Sure, things can always be worse. When half of the team crashes out or whatever. But I cannot come to a point to call this good today.

I would say decent, which is not terrible/awful.

I’ve gotta say, I think if he could do 8.5 w/kg for 12, Pog really should be able to win solo from the cipressa without even needing a team to launch him

 

[mou]

those who followed my tornado work in detail in these weeks could clearly hear that I said that I think that Pog will not win San Remo but that he will conquer the world starting from Catalonia, I have to admit that today I watched a great Pog, better than I thought as soon as he declares at the finish line that this is an easy edition, that he is not tired at all and that he had great legs... my condolences to Kus and Cian, watch and enjoy💯😉

 

[AnotherArmChair]

So if Pog wins the Giro and the Olympic Road race this year
MSR and Worlds RR next year
Roubaix and Vuelta in 2 years he would have won all 3 GTs and all monuments

I am guessing he'd be the real Eddy Merckx then

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

for these ciciban races he needs tactics, the right sports director, the right helpers, everyone at 100%, and in the upcoming races, the legs will speak for themselves

You said he could push 1000w for multiple minutes i think? If he can do that, he doesn't need tactics.

 

[mou]

Pog will not lose the Strade Bianche, all the one-week races, all the grand tour races he competes in, Lombardy, Liège and Flanders in the next 4 years, so much for that, the power profile I have about Pog speaks for itself and you say what you want

Well that would be because he's a troll. And FOS

Tell em mou, you dont have care about some salty losers.

 

[Froome]

I can't understand how he loses this race. A guy who can do 8.5 w/kg in 12 min, should win this race with a good gap.

 

[Ripper]

So @mou resurrected much earlier than his believers hoped!

Lol. Blessing or curse? Time will tell!

Still a long way to Cancellara's twelve consecutive podiums.

Why only 4 years? Who will beat him then? Or will he retire early?

 

[mou]

I'm counting his peak years, maybe he'll leave after that, because it won't be interesting to him anymore

I was throwing things at my TV because i did not understand why he did not attack on the first capo.

He only raced Boonen.

*shuts door and runs*

Some guy did it in 3 days. Mou can do it in 2.

 

[mou]

wait for Tuesday and Wednesday, just don't write me @mou 👏👏👏👏👏 and WOW because remember for me it will be a movie I've already seen and for you a mega premiere😉

 

[Froome]

Mou will be ressurrected in the league of camels, coaching Ronaldo.

 

[Red Rick]

This but unironically

 

[joseph89]

There will be haters, there will be doubters, there will be non-believers, and then there will be you @mou proving them wrong.

“Today was one of the easiest races ever. “It didn't go very fast, especially in the first hours,” Pogacar indicates. According to the two-time tour winner, the race was simply not difficult enough to become a race for climbing types. “But it was close , I really had super legs.”
