Teams & Riders Tadej Pogačar discussion thread

[James M]

We're getting to the 8w/kilo slowly but surely🤩

Pogacar is still young and entering into his peak age AND Pogacar is 1 year in with a new coach, everyone who knows a little bit about it, knows usually after the 1 year the real progress starts cause you need that in order to fully benefit and adapt from the new program.

And thats without even taking into account Pogacars physiological ceiling which is extraordinary and nothing like weve seen before. I still dont think even after watching it that the WC race really happened like it did.

Buckle up, were in for many history lessons going forward.

Visma is stronger than UAE. Simon Yates has a higher ceilling than Adam. In fact I am expecting Simon to get back his 2018 level in Visma. If we add Matteo and a good Kuss, UAE is gonna be in troubles.

Well everybodys saying visma has simon,matteo& kuss so uae are in trouble. imagine mcnulty rediscovers his 2022 tdf form with sola & rides with only pog & ving in his wheel 😝

I'm afraid for the cycling community & broadcasters going forward to 2026 b/c in 2025 pog will be a dictator he will win all races he participates in & after the season ends cycling will be left alone to pog fans & we will be the only ones who will subscribe for eurosport.

Don't underestimate Jonas. Pogacar had an incredible level in 2022 but he won few important races

Some say this. But they will wait to celebrate a young start up who can occasionally pip a win from pogi. And there’s always a demented weirdo to emerge from the crowd to punch Merckx for winning too much. But if all plays out to potential, we get to witness history in the sport. His dominance will attract new viewers who wish to understand what is unfolding

The problem for the old school audience is he is only starting as mvdp said pogs era has only started. I heard pog saying the other day "i have a structured training this days" reflecting on his recent off season which implies he didn't have it the years before. I cant see anybody catching him the next five years as the goat mou said his base level this season will be lombardia of last season😝 but if any psycho has the gut to punch my 🐐 he better soon get to his mothers womb

Comparing Pog to 22 to now im not sure you paid attention of what has happened but its galaxys apart.

And Vingegaard won many races that year of importance outside tdf? Was it the 16 place in lombardia who did it for you?

Your fascination for this guy after he has beaten Pogacar when he was hurt when even Roglic and others would too is crazy and I would say you shouldnt overestimate if anything. He is good indeed in GT second best for sure atm goes without saying, but its levels to this, and I dont think anyone is underestimating him but still its levels to this, if Pogi boy is close to 100% its not remotely close not cause i say so but from any standpoint in any numbers in every terrain in literally every metric its not even remotely close. Doesnt mean your boy Vingegaard isnt good cause he is. so relax.

Crits would be fun to follow if they did staging of old world mid-race shop raids for baguettes, espresso, and refreshments
