Teams & Riders Tadej Pogačar discussion thread

Pogacar season hasnt even started and the whole cycling world seems to be in shambles and on their tippy toes. This gonne be a good one.

Should just hire a detective to track his every move and flight from now on so people escape their paranoia.

My guess is your either gonne love it or hate it. Personally I find the paint job on the team bike to be boring but who cares.

I am more impressed by performance than appearance. But what does it cost? I hate to think!

His aura is higher than ever. It would be a dream for any cycling fan to see him against MVP and WVA this year in both RVV and PR.

I'll be honest, I was a little concerned he was staying at the Sheik's palace when the photo/video pogi in possibly just an apron dropped. These mega rich sponsors can be downright weird... Mostly relieved to find out he was recon in Flanders!

Pogi's recon of PR was supposed to include Pollit and Morgado. (In addition to Wellens). The core of a PR team.

Morgado? I didn't think he would race it.
I think these riders below are locked for PR
Politt
Wellens
Bjerg
Veermesh
Herregodts

Funny to me that the RIP doesn't have birth date of 1954!!! And not funny is how traditionalist and consumers have not made much notice that Ernesto Colnago's signature is no longer on the frames..

But do we know this was a scheduled recon?

Of course it was. If they said Morgado and Politt were supposed to be there, I presume it was a scheduled recon

My apologies for missing this detail. But where is it confirmed Morgado and Politt were to be there?

UAE XRG: tries to plan useful training and nice press events.

Tadej "I do what I want " Pogačar: Maybe we go for recon now! I feel like cobbles, let's find the cobbliest cobbles ever, wheels up in five !

Teddy does what he wants. If Matxin and Gianetti complain they will be fired by the golden boy.

It is dumb to not net let Pogacar doing what he wants. UAE can't win big without him (monuments and GTs)
However he still races the Tour and I don't know if he always wants to race it in every single year.

If anyone thinks this is just a teaser then I'm sorry for him. The vdps and philipsens of this world might take it as a joke but for the ones who followed pogi close, it's a clear sign he has reached a different level 🔥

I am curious to know his weight. He doesn't look heavier but we never know. Maybe he gained 2 kilos of pure muscle to target PR

It should be around 66 kilo but i believe his level is way better than last year

I'm pretty sure he doesn't want to race UAE Tour but it was likely included in his $$$ contract (i.e. at least 2-3 participations in 6 years) so he has no choice.

Speaking of Roubaix, if he decides to go then it makes sense to make a longer break, skip Amstel and Fleche and focus on Liege (which is by far the most important).

@mou with detail about weight.

And lol at yaf 2. What happened to yaf 1. It’s not dead yet

Yes, uae tour & tdf are the likely terms included in his contract other than that it's irrelevant what many think that it's matxins decisions for him to do roubaix or other races

And also read they tried to get into the velodrome and couldn’t for some reason (no one home)

Curious as to whether he has ever ridden on a velodrome in competition even as a junior.

In all honesty it won’t matter that much as he would need a Hayman vs Boonen level upset to win a velodrome sprint against WVA or MVDP and dropping them is the realistic way to win.

What a menace

The GOAT

The total P-R recon was 165k. NOT a troll job like the arenberg video hinted at.

 

[Jan the Man]

He rode all 58km of cobbles. Could be a bluff but the debut is approaching. If not this year next year is all but a certainty

I he wins MSR, he will definitely try the last monument.
