Teams & Riders Tadej Pogačar discussion thread

[RedheadDane]

There's the proof! The hair tufts doesn't occur naturally:

 

[Froome]

The lack of training is the basis, I believe, no one wants to go to a Tour starting to train well in June. If this had not affected the concentrations at altitude in May they are a waste of time.

And yet he didn't reached on this Giro the numbers he produced last year in the Tour de France when he clearly improved from 2022 to 2023 in terms of climbing level.

So, that take doesn't fit right with what happened on the road. Plus, it doesn't make sense thinking he had just one bad day in 21 days(he was already good 2 days after in the vosges) because of preparation, since he also had a bad day in 2022. It was public that he crashed in the stage and had stomach issues.

Pogacar climbing level in the Tour 2023 was is best version ever, and it was with San Millan.

Pog's weight at the Giro is at most 65 kgs. This means he did 6.92 W/Kg for 15 min 31 secs in the last 5.7 kms of Grappa. Nice training ride for the Tour where he is supposed to be 1 kg lighter.
Special present for @Froome and for the bald fraud San Millan.

The weight of Pogacar or any other rider, is irrelevant. The comparation between perfomances is in a padron weight. Ammattipyoraily uses always "65"kg. LR guys "60 kg".

Did I mention any W/KG estimations from Ammattipyoraily or LR? I just gave you his average power - 450 W, his average speed and the duration and length of the segment. I also gave you his race weight. You do the simple maths and you get the result. It's not hard, mate.

I'm not interested in what you give. I'm more interested in the data of ammattipyoraily who is more reliable.

I am interested in what rou has to say

Any relation to mou???

 

[Alien Performance]

Been having a look at his last few years on PCS, and discovered the last time he finished behind any non-Jumbo rider (Jonas or Primoz) in a stage race was the 2020 Dauphine where he was 4th behind Martinez, Pinot and G. Martin

speaking of mou, we have no prophecies beyond the Giro. What are we in for to see for the rest of the season?

Mou said he could win all races the next four years.

 

[Netserk]

Mou said he could win all races the next four years.

Not all races, ciciban races like Sanremo weren't included.

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

Who has ever done a sprint lead out when he is about to win a grand tour and has an appointment at the biggest race in the world? Unheard of 🐐

I think Wiggins did it at the biggest race in the world.

Wiggins did one for Cavendish in the Tour in 2012. And he did it much better too

A fellow Bradley Wiggins enjoyer! Good man! Don't see many gracing the forums nowadays

Workshopping his sprint. Next step in Pogi's evolution: green+yellow+polka dot. He's been missing three jerseys since he got too old for white.

Guys how does all of u not read the whole statement. "when he has an appointment at the biggest race in the world" and that is the tour ahead of him

TdF was really only a prep race for the olympic TT for Wiggins so there's that.

Just touching up on the old cardio ahead of his rowing debut

 

[Krzysztof_O]

So now it's official, congrats on a dominant Giro victory. His 3rd GT win. Very few guys in history had more GTs at this age but Pogacar set such a standard from early years that another GT win looked well overdue. His 9th big win (3 GTs + 6 monuments) classify him as #1 in this century, not too shabby!

Wiggins did have an appointment at the podium ceremony after the stage.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Wiggins won a sprint himself ahead of 'The biggest race in the world' against the Lieuwe Westra
