Teams & Riders Tadej Pogačar discussion thread

[vwpe]

Had a talk with Matxin and Mathieu today. Pogacar will even win stage 1 both said, Mathieu even refered to him as the goat and that there wasnt much more to say, never heard he of all people use those words before, heard plenty of others but never him.

Anyway Pogacar will win stage 1 even. He has apparently become even stronger than he was which is ridiculous to think about.

The special one? Is that you?

 

[Oldermanish]

Jonas Vingegaard?

No, but from the LAB

What I said...:
Ya know....If Jonas had Sepp, a healthy Wout and the other wrecked guys on the squad along with Roglic; someone from JV could give Tadej a good fight.
It won't be Jonas.

After Sepp's covid was disclosed (if true and JV knew of it) and pressing him to do the Dauphine, forcing Roglic to go somewhere else and rushing Wout and Jonas to appear (so they're media, endorsement and appearance fees aren't impacted) and it goes wrong: fire the lot.

 

[Oldermanish]

Do we have any pre race experts from the latest pictures at press conf to judge his weight etc? Isnt that a ritual

It's an obsession with many wannabe physiologists. Borders on the stalkerish predilections, IMO.

I want to read your post again after the fact.

A solo ride by the G**T on the first stage will be earth shattering while 8.3 w/kg on Galibier will send Vingo to fishing industry, Rogla to ski-jumping Fis cup and Remco to the prestigious football 5th division.

Why did Jonas V pressed Sepp to do the Dauphine? Or was it LAB?
😆

I find it hillarious. My twitter is blowing up from the team presentation so I guess Pogacar and co will soon open themself up for the predators.

Tadej Pogacar has just revealed he caught COVID-19 ten days ago but wasn't badly affected. "Covid is just like a cold now. I stopped training for a day and then was on the rollers. When I got better I trained outdoors

Visma’s plan failed it seems.

On the plus side, he should now have immunity for the Tour.

He had to say that maybe polit ordering him that he cant do all the work on the 1st 4 stages. lol

 

[velaso montador]

He is beeing handed out jerseys before the race even starts now too?

Apparently he had a mild COVID infection just 10 days ago:

Tadej Pogačar reveals that he overcame COVID-19 in the lead-up to the Tour de France

'I stopped for one day and then some rollers inside. Then when I wasn't sick anymore, I was riding outside'

So not everything was as smooth as Maxtin described recently.

De Plus thinks the heat could be Pog's cryptonite.

"The heat may be killing him. It is common knowledge that he does not like racing in extreme heat. You can work on that, but it is mainly innate or not," the Belgian concludes. "But racing in the heat suits me. Since the focus of this Tour - the final week - is in the south of France, a warm edition is also predicted."

Extreme heat protocol, activate.

 

[Lequack]

Cancel long sprint stages in this heat, shorten them.

 

[SHAD0W93]

While we’re at it, cancel them and just award them to Cavendish

 

[Peyroteo94]

So he had Covid. He is playing mind game with his opponents.

Poetic. We keep it wholesome here.

Every day the stage conditions should be discussed with the most accomplished rider in the race (the peleton representative). If he thinks it's too hot then it should be called off. Safety first!
