Teams & Riders Tadej Pogačar discussion thread

I think so, however they look incredibly sharp and look more convincing than Roglic and this is kinda of strange to me and a little bit of concern since Yates and Almeida are a lot weaker than Pogacar. If Roglic isn't better than Yates and Almeida in the Tour, this Tour will not have a story unless Vingegaard has a magical recovery.

He doesn't need a magical recovery. Today stef crass who had a worse injury on the same crash with jonas, finished with gc group of narvaez and bilbao in tour of slovenia. I believe jumbo were playing the kg game with the media. good news for jonas fans🤗

Just like Pogacar didn't had a worse injury than Vingegaard last year, so he didn't needed a magical recovery.

Looking at the level of Yates and Almeida it will be hilarious to see the forum go into meltdown when Pogi pushes higher watts than peak Pantani in July.

I could see uae with the top 4 positions in GC

Mate relax, either way u put it u are going to be witnessing this summer the most stacked gc competition of 21st century being dominated by an alien dropping in the 21st century. Enjoy it cause u are lucky to be part of it🤝

Too harsh on jonas and primoz. Surprise package should be almeida, i have never seen him this good

But then you look at Remco's recovery and those fans come back to Earth.

Well at least this means the team strength tables will likely be turned on Visma. At the last two Tours Vingegaard had a virtual armchair ride behind his teammates whilst Pogacar blew himself up. Interesting to see how Pog rides behind a super strong team. But Pogacar did seem to curtail his instincts on several stages at the Giro with the double in mind.

Well, tbh remco best level could be riding with Rodriguez. There are leagues between him and jonas.

Also sharing Adam victories, so we can assume he train him too. There was doubts about it in this forum...

Yes, I just wanted to highlight the difference with his highest level...

Yates and Almeida don't like rock, scissors, paper. Only Pogi is able to gamble with that

They are practicing for TDF. There won't be any rock, scissors, paper there as they know who the captain is

Adam isn't trained by sola but Pog,vegard s. Laengen,ulissi,novak, sjoerd bax and now almeida comfirmed!

Adam yates improved a lot since he left Ineos. He did podium last year at the Tour. Who is the coach of Adam Yates? He must be a really good coach.

I wouldn't say yates has improved that much but he found consistency.. look at his numbers in jebel hafeet when he was at ineos. He nearly dropped pog on multiple occasions on that climb. I heard him saying he hasn't increased his level that much but uae had a strict nutrition plan where he found the same level doing race after race.

I don't know who trains Adam, I only know that when he wins, Javier Sola publishes stories about him...and he doesn't do it with everyone on the team.

 

[Peyroteo94]

UAE is a super strong team with high human resources. Sola must be one of the best in the world, if not he would never be with Pogacar. We are talking about the face of cycling and the most profitable cyclist in the world.

• 1982 Hinault wins the Tour.
• 1983 Fignon wins the Tour.
• 1984 Fignon wins the Tour.
• 1985 Hinault wins the Giro-Tour double.

• 2020 Pogacar wins the Tour.
• 2021 Pogacar wins the Tour.
• 2022 Vingegaard wins the Tour.
• 2023 Vingegaard wins the Tour.
• 2024 ???

 

[Krzysztof_O]

I'm starting to think that Teddy will win the Tour and Giro in his legs won't stop him (unless Vingo comes back in 100% form, which is unlikely).

Only Vingegaard never wins the Tour again and Evenepoel three.

Adam is trained by san milan as of now and sola shares stories whoever wins from the team but congratulates his trainees by mentioning them. As @mou said pog has exposed san milan and a guy with almeidas charater demands the best. I was surprised and curious when i saw him pulling for 5 km on the cari stage and eventually dropping everyone but yates. Has anyone saw almeida showing such displays on back to back mountain days?

 

[Valv.Piti]

Almedia clearly on a different level. He is the perfect GT-rider, so I could easily see him top-3 the Tour like Adam last year.
