Teams & Riders Tadej Pogačar discussion thread

The same applies to the TDF, where Vingo is usually stuck to his back wheel. Put Almeida or someone else there so that nobody is on his wheel when he jumps and he gets that separation immediately.

Vingegaard made up for it by being kind enough to go the long way every time Pogacar attacked this season.

Yates was very smart. Stage 11 is pretty good example of that.

Wout out of MSR. Life easier for Pogacar

It was always MVDP preventing his win though.

In 2024 yes. But not in 2023. Both Ganna and WVA followed him and then MVP destroyed them all.

Majka was the same at the Giro. Could be a rare case of excellent attention to detail from UAE.

Van Aert almost catapulted Van der Poel into his winning attack. Not that I blame Wout cause when Pog goes there’s no point of not trying to follow and just hope that someone else is going to chase. Still MVDP got a good pull from Wout and it helped.

Another cycling legend praising Pogacar's ability

'He'd be riding within himself, he'd actually be recovering' - Pedro Delgado on why Tadej Pogačar could win the Vuelta without hurting his Worlds chances

Former double Vuelta champion says Slovenian 'wouldn't wait til the Angliru to start attacking'

Delgado thinks no problem Pogi riding the Giro and worlds. I tend to agree and for similar reasons as what Pedro states. He also mentions Pogi’s young age and the fact riders recover faster when younger - particularly if he can ride the Vuelta within himself. I don’t doubt that after what we saw in 2024.

Vuelta is very easy this year. He can walk there unless Vingegaard shows up in stellar shape.

Personally I still think Eddy is the greatest cyclist historically. But Pogi has vast potential and if this potential bears out, the two will exist arm and arm in history.

If he has truly only been weight training for about a year or two, he will continue to see gains.

Pog’s trajectory after 2024 suggests he could surpass the great one. It’s still early days (years). One year at a time. His priority should be to try to stay uninjured. Easier said than done in this sport. I wish him luck.

Was Eddy’s career interrupted by crashes or injuries?

That’s existential poetry right there!

He got sucker punched and I don’t think he was the same after that. (I might be mostly making this up)

And we are back discussing GOAT stuff.

Given that he clearly got much a better during last year's season, I think its realistic to expect him to be significantly better than at the start of the last year.

 

[Mina.S]

Does anyone know when UAE are starting their Jan camp? most other teams have started.

Iike most males probably peaking too soon.
