Teams & Riders Tadej Pogačar discussion thread

[James M]

I'm back. Very important day today! Yesterday he was very impressive, superb ride! Let's see if Vingegaard can fight back, it would be great for the rest of the Tour. Go go Pogi!

How you feel about the best climing performance this century? He just continues to ride away from everyone on climbs like entire year and setting records while doing it and everyone blowing up trying to follow his tempo. Now that he isnt injured and riding with a fractured wrist who woulda thought. Was a epic stage!

I don't know how they came with those numbers. I made my calculations and I had 6.52 w/kg for 27:50 minutes. But I don't give importance to numbers, I look to the gap for other riders and climb's record. The gap was ok, nothing extraordinary (1.30 minutes for most gc riders) but he completely destroyed the record and that was fairly impressive. It is a record from Rominger and he was almost 2 minutes faster than Armstrong in the first 9 km. This is remarkable so probably a legendary ride from Pogacar.

Yes it was one of the climbing performance of this century properly. Jonas was on his numbers last year for instance.
Further more solidify the other day he just went out of fuel. Lets see today but ive yet to see anyone even managing to stay on his wheel. Nice to have you back enjoy the stage. Very important day indeed.

Saw the reporter on eurosport it is supposedly super hot today on last climb and in the valley now and the climb will be super hot. Long climb and very hot this might be vingegaard day to take time on Pogacar. Lets see

 

[James M]

I guess not nothing new the guy just rides away like its nothing. He is just way stronger in the mountains its veery very obvious and frankly been it entire tour year forever. Imagine you fracture your wrist ride with a fractured wrist like last year so strong still and not thinking he would be better without that.

This is a knockout.

Vingover!!!

 

[inri2000]

Danish commentators are praising Pogacar for high cadence (Armstrong), and riding on the big ring (Riis)

 

[Salvarani]

THE GOAT

Mou told yall

 

[Eddy Evenepoel]

All hail the King!

Im talking about Mou of course, he told us all this was coming.

 

[snipeheem]

Mou , the prophet

 

[James M]

Idc if he doest this to Vingegaardin the mountains on hot days and beat Van der Poel in Flandern idc he is my goat try to convince me this is ridiculous. (and just a way to pay respect to Vingegaard and Van der Poel by saying that.)

Even forgot the giro there 2 sec.This is insane.

The greatest performance ever
🐐

 

[KZD]

This is an absolute genius at work, we are witnessing one of the best seasons ever.

Pogačar, the GOAT of the 21st century.

 

[James M]

The greatest performance ever
🐐

I think its the best cycle performance of all time? Surely ive never seen anything like it.

 

[Peyroteo94]

Hilarious!! Best performance of the century! Almost 7 w/kg for 40 minutes

He will win the tour and make this the greatest season in history as long as he dont get sick or crash now! 5 stages bascily left he can crash out of.

There is no doubt who is the strongest, this is properly the best climbing performance of all time before the numbers come in but there is zero doubt.

 

[Valv.Piti]

Best climbing performance ever? I think so.

 

[Didinho]

Hope he still goes for it in the TT. Maybe some other stage win before. What a year he’s having. Insane.

 

[Peyroteo94]

VAM= 1950 m/h for almost 40 minutes

 

[Peyroteo94]

There is still the myth he is not good in the heat. C'mon, he just isn't thermonuclear like in cold/rainy weather

 

[snipeheem]

Greatest performance ever by the greatest cyclist ever

Its just to funny all that steams from when the guy rode with a fractured wrist. Doubt people get how much energy the body spends on that its just the biggest myth these long climb nonsense etc taken way out of proportion of a guy 3 week of prep to a tour.

Clearly its not even close when he is full gass.. Nvm the giro Even im shellshocked.

This was mental considering his rivals did not bonk. What a ride.
