I don't think he will have a great team to put a hard tempo before his attack.

On the one hand it’s Pogi.
On the other I still can’t believe that he can be better than in Zurich. Zurich was probably his best day in career. 100km attack and still easy win.
He also organized a cyclocross race in Slovenia, but didn’t raced.
Also the fact is that mou was never wrong on predictions.

Jonas Vingegaard opens up on Tadej Pogacar rivalry: "I see him win these races and I'm fascinated by who he is as a cyclist"
Jonas Vingegaard vs Tadej Pogacar has been the defining Grand Tour rivalry of the 2020s. In 2025, it is expected that chapter 5 of their epic Tour de France tug of war will take place and after Pogaca...

In youtube, we have a very interesting podcast with Javier Sola about training:
- If it is important to measure FTP in a protocolized test.
- Work load in a week for professional and amateur riders.
- Strenght training.
- Altitude training.
- Acclimatization to heat before competitions.
It is in Spanish though. For a portuguese guy it is not difficult but for english people, it may be harder

Nope, no longer the GOAT it seems when some 17 year old from Belgium can follow and get his phone out to film it ...https://cyclinguptodate.com/cycling...irectors-gave-me-a-pat-on-the-back-afterwards
I think Ryo is not banned. And even if he came back, there are no colombians to talk about.
So Pogacar will never target Tour-Vuelta. I get his point but if Pogacar wants to win the Vuelta one day, this will happen sooner or later.
Mou is still reading us and replies to our posts on X so I think that it doesn’t make any difference. In that case imo he should be unbanned.
I said Dauphine to Tour to Vuelta to Worlds to Lombardia is a long stretch.
Especially after starting the season 2-3 weeks earlier, compared to last season, and targeting the classics this year.
He will do Vuelta again, when it makes more sense or something unforeseen happens. Like crashing out of the Tour in the first week or something. It is just not a priority atm and he could do everything else he wants.
You always have to sacrifice something. Last year he skipped the classics to go for double Giro-Tour.
This year he likely skips Vuelta to target classics, Dauphine, Tour, Worlds + Lombardia.
He can do it when it fits his schedule more. Professionally and personally.
We will see though.

The thing with Roubaix is it suits heavier riders.
Weren't the GT riders back in the day usually above 70 kilo?
If so, they were more naturally suited to Roubaix then the GT riders now.
It is an interesting analysis of monuments by GT riders. Even so it seems to stretch back into the era before specialists to find successful riders
Yes. Fairly sure Nibali MSR is the only Grand Tour winner outside of Pogacar to win any of the non-climber oriented monuments outside of Pogacar since the mid 90s.
In the introduction part @ 31 sec into the video he said, "And i think at the level of scientific evidence it is already more than proven that strength work is mandatory to do no?, but the world of cycling has always been very traditional"
A huge dig on san milan and co at uae who held back the greatest talent on the planet
Thanks @jsolalo🙏
