Teams & Riders Tadej Pogačar discussion thread

[Peyroteo94]

Why is Vingegaard even being mentioned in a Pog thread where we are discussing the worlds? Vingegaard will never win a worlds. Worlds are never conducted on HC climbs. And could anyone seriously imagine Vingegaard doing what Pog did in the 2024 WCRR? Sorry, not possible.

Same story with Froome in 2018 WC.

Exactly. Someone in my opinion just severely overrates him and neglects basic facts, and he is great in his lane cause he is based on facts dont get me wrong, great GT rider no flame.

But anyone watching Lombardia, or WCRR last year and think Vingegaard gonne be close to Pogacar in WCRR, sorry personally I find that embarassing.

After reading the last 3 pages, i thought i was in the Vingegaard thread.

Now, let's move the worlds race to Switzerland. The route looks better than in rwanda.

I even took up a role of a Skeletor fan!

I agree. One thing is mountain stages where Vingegaard already proved he is on par or very close to Pogacar but monuments or WC is just nonsense. Pogacar is the most successful hilly monuments winner (6 wins) since Merckx (7 wins). It is very possible Pogacar will become this season the most prolific winner in hilly monuments (GdL and LBL) ever. Vingegaard's best result is a 14th place in 2021 GdL. In 2022, he won the Tour but finished 16th in GdL, 2 minutes behind Pogacar. I think he knows he is not good enough in 6 hours races

Sadly too late for an Academy Award nomination this year, but you're currently a front runner for the next one.

I would love it if they did one though. Imagine a circuit of up and down the various sides of Mortirolo 4 times.

Me too. We never had climbing routes with 20+ minutes climbs.

Is he going to UAE earlier to be with Urska? I know he his in Monaco right now but I don't want to see Pogacar going to UAE for 3 weeks just to be with his girlfriend

 

[Peyroteo94]

Matxin said he will release his schedule very soon and I think it is very likely he will race the Vuelta. They want to win all 3 GTs this year.

Is there a different schedule than the one they released in December? Hope P-R is on it!

they'll probably say let's win the Vuelta this year, then Roubaix will be on the schedule from next year I think

I think they will release his schedule after the Tour. Until the Tour, I think his schedule is locked (which means no Giro, no PR and probably Dauphiné).

 

[Peyroteo94]

I'm not so sure about his win but he is the number one favourite.

What is the problem? At least he has a training partner after the women's UAE. It is not uncommon for riders often bring their partners to altitude camps. geraint Thomas brought his whole family down to OZ for the TDU. If you are lucky, Urska will do another podcast.

Pog is still in Monaco with bling doing some dodgy lactate testing with Carlos Sainz’s PT who only trains Sainz and a bunch of models. No way UAE is actually letting a random lactate test him but I guess they are probably filming more YouTube content for Sainz channel.

In some Slovenian articles last year Urska said she had to set her schedule early so that Tadej could line his up and they would have more time together at home.

Tadej Pogacar wenst nieuwe wereldtitel, denkt aan WK tijdrijden en deelt zwaarste koersdag ooit

Video Giro d’Italia, Tour de France, wereldkampioen op de weg en de felbegeerde KOM op de Coll de Rates nabij Calpe. Perfecter kon het jaar 2024 niet voor Tadej Pogačar. Veel tijd om naar de kapper te gaan was er niet en dus kwam hij samen met zijn vriendin Urška Žigart vlotjes om de hoek van […]

Very sad for what happened to his cousin. I hope it all ends well, and she finally appears safe and alive.
