It’s the 3rd week of the Tour that matters. But even with his dominance this Giro he does not seem to have been pushed much. He is cruising and several times seems to have chosen to hold back when he might have attacked? Maybe more mental fatigue than physical?One week is low?? He has been softpedalling the entire third week and people seem to forget he didn't make a normal altitude camp before the Giro. This dude is fresh as a daisy, he can still implode but he will fire in all cylinders in Tour's first week.
He should test Jonas in the first stage already. Just to see where the Dane is. He doesn't have to drop Rog or Remco. Just test Jonas.The third week is not over yet so we will see if he softpedals today as well. I agree that he will fire on all cylinders in the Tour's first week. The most important is doing the same in the 3rd week though.
If Pog is putting Jonas under pressure, R&R will be dropped.Novak on Pogačar

That's assuming Jonas comes in his best shape and form. But what if he comes in his P-N 2023 form? The one where even the mighty Gaudu managed to distance him. Or Lombardia 2022 where he was behind old man Valverde.If Pog is putting Jonas under pressure, R&R will be dropped.
Or just as likely even in worse shape starting off.That's assuming Jonas comes in his best shape and form. But what if he comes in his P-N 2023 form? The one where even the mighty Gaudu managed to distance him. Or Lombardia 2022 where he was behind old man Valverde.
If so, R&R can put Jonas under pressure instead of Tadej.That's assuming Jonas comes in his best shape and form. But what if he comes in his P-N 2023 form? The one where even the mighty Gaudu managed to distance him. Or Lombardia 2022 where he was behind old man Valverde.
I mean, it totally comes down to what part of the season we're talking about and not everyone can handle intensity at altitude well. The whole more intensity vs more volume in training seems to be a really individual thing, some people respond to one thing much better than the other and vice versa.novak in interview lowkey dissing san milan.i need to suffer in training,not ride 5 hours aimlessly,lmao.said also,alttitude doesnot work for him at all.

If Vingegaard is not at 100% we'll know after the first two stages, although I'll be surprised if he turns up.Novak on Pogačar

Could always be a lurker too, though there are the other possible alternative accounts.Your account was created on Wednesday, but you know who mou is? I don’t think Novak is mou, I think you are.
Might be the best news in a while! The bald fraud will be exposed once again.Your account was created on Wednesday, but you know who mou is? I don’t think Novak is mou, I think you are.
I did not create account for almost 10 years and still regulary checked the forum.Could always be a lurker too, though there are the other possible alternative accounts.
Today or tomorrow. Well, he did start today, so he already got farther than Pantani twenty-five years ago.When? Today or regarding the double attempt?
Beautiful win. Time to rest young man!
I believe "the security" is IP based so people can have profiles from home, work, vacation... There are clearly alter egos.I did not create account for almost 10 years and still regulary checked the forum.
Isn't there any security for multiple and alternative accounts?
Step 1 completed. Impressive easy Giro win. Everyone expects it but you still have to do it for 3 weeks.
