He's still a douche, and what we have seen so far has been pretty much what we expect of Pogacar these days anyways. Lets not give him credit for predicting something which nobody had seen coming

Pogacar is a douche? Can you elaborate?

This article seems to echo my thoughts....

Tadej Pogačar is the Giro d’Italia ringmaster, the new cannibal and a Grand Tour artist at work

Cyclingnews columnist Philippa York admires the Slovenian’s dominance and offers advice on how to join him on the final podium

I like this quote ...
Most people who have raced a bike wouldn’t give up on a chance of victory because they know how hard and usually rare it is to win.

Touché. Yet I think he gave up a possible win on the sterrato stage. So maybe we are nitpicking? I am enjoying the show, I don't find this boring.

Don’t remember many others speaking about the possible importance of the new trainer and changes being made. Tests from training.

Things said prior to SB, Catalunya and so on.

Fair dues in my book.

Except he was pulling numbers out of his ass like 7.3W/kg for 18 minutes and then reality hits and it's 6.7 and stuff like that.

I don't remember anyone who didn't predict Pogacar would win the Giro super easily

Not really mate. I don't know if they will try to win tomorrow but they will have to work. The next stage they will work is stage 15. Sprint teams will try to win stages 11, 12 (probably a day for the break) and 13, stage 14 is a active rest day for all peloton bar gc riders.

Remember what UAE said, control the race and training.

I don't think he's going to go hard enough for us to check this data, maybe in some alpine stage where he wants to do a test.

No, I was obviously talking about mou who had a tendency to act like a douche towards other posters.

I love Pogi

There is no other sport (that I know of) where victories are "given out" to lesser competitors.
Or is there?

In both football and handball championships, you often see nations field a weaker team in matches they don't need to win and thus give a "free" win away.

Yes, but that would be analogous to a team fielding "b-team" to ride the Giro and save strength for the Tour.

Reading some of Teddy's recent comments.

Tiberi is the only rider that so far showed some balls

In my opinion, it would have been better just to go how we wanted to the finish, but sometimes there’s too many people in the peloton saying that we need to share a piece of pie.

What a f**king legend!

If they want pie, they should offer something in return.
