No PR until 2028

Agree with that.

Maybe he knows he is not suited for Paris Roubaix against the heavyweight guys. He was 13th when he did PR as a junior. In terms of comparation, Merckx was more suited for PR. He won the race when he was 23 years old.

I don’t think you can just add and subtract muscle. Let’s say he does add, how does he also compete in the tour? Why not just run P-R without all of this physiology theory and see what happens?

He can shred 2 kilos of muscle in 3 months. But it will be hard, specially if some of his muscles are in his upper body

 

[Poursuivant]

If he went to PR this year I would expect him to be in the Top 5. Yes you need luck in a race like that but Pogacar is a unique rider, winning big races first attempt is something he is proven to do.

You can shred fat. Removing muscle is a totally different thing that impacts energy and condition

You're right. For that reason I said 3 months to shred 2/3 kilos of muscle. It is way harder but possible. If we are talking about shredding fat, in a month they lose 2 kg easily.

Has Pogi won any races with such a flat profile as PR?

 

[scribers]

I don't think anyone but sprinters can win those sort of stage. You'd have to look at stage races with things such as cobbles and gravel and it is understood he was quite competitive in those, even though it isn't worth the energy expenditure in a race where mountains are decisive on other days

Physiologically for someone who is already that lean to lose 2kg it would be very difficult to shed much fat and any lean muscle mass loss before something like a grand tour is very risky.

They both look lovely, one thing i could suggest is they could wear something matching, considering they are a couple. In the end they booth went with their own style and that is OK too. Usually there is a reason behind such things anyway. For example Pogi got a haircut from a 15 year old kid riding for Pogi team, such story always tops professional stylists in my book. Still, nothing wrong with professional look either, Rogla and Pogi in matching suits with bow ties, that was priceless too. The main problem here likely was Urška looked at Pogi shoes and said no way am i doing that, Pogi on the other hand can afford it.

Absolutely not. What a load of ridiculousness.

Remco did it this year. To support his collarbone, he built some muscle in his upper body (specially shoulders) and then le lost it before the Tour. Like I said, it is a hard task but 3 months is a lot too.

 

[Peyroteo94]

Has Pogi won any races with such a flat profile as PR?

No. But 99% of flat races are sprint stages. What I can say is everytime we had a tough flat stage (with gravel, cobbles), Pogacar was the strongest (or very close to be the strongest).

You are aware couples are not required to wear matching clothes, right?

I would go further, couples are required 'to not' wear matching clothes.

 

[RedheadDane]

I wouldn't go that far. If a couple wants to; sure, go for it.

Of course, in the case of Pogacar and Zigart, there are indeed loads of cases when they can't; when they're training together.

You post a lot of pseudoscience

If I’m their paid stylist they aren’t going looking like that. They don’t look money at all

Our leader @mou is getting a little salty about uae. It’s about maxtin and Ayuso. Personally I think it’s much to do about nothing. Ayuso will have races to ride, and none of them will be with pog. I think this will be said for a lot of riders over the next few years. Pogi can’t ride them all

No mate. Remco said this. Where are Remco's diehard fans to confirm this? I'm almost sure he said he su€ked in Dauphiné because he needed to put some weight (muscles) in his upper body (after his crash) in order to protect his collarbone.

You can’t add muscle to an injury to stabilize and heal an injury

Matching Outfits are more than just wearing clothes of the same color or design. They symbolize harmony, unity, and the special bond shared between two people. When couples dress in Matching Outfits, they not only make a fashion statement but also showcase their connection and affection for each other. It’s a delightful way to express love and togetherness, visually communicating to the world that you and your partner are a cohesive unit.

I don't think they need matching outfits to show their affection for each other.

The Astana husbands were all wearing similar outfits.
