If it wasn't there'd be some serious dental work necessary....looks like real Ardennes poo/dirt mixture on a dry day. Wonder what it tastes like on a cold wet day?

Volgens een Belg zou hij "snel hamburgers verkopen": het onvertelde verhaal van het échte Roubaix-debuut van Tadej Pogacar | sporza
De eerste Parijs-Roubaix voor Tadej Pogacar? Vergeet het. Het Sloveense fenomeen reed een decennium geleden al eens twee edities bij de junioren. Winnen deed hij niet, maar gezien de omstandigheden toen was dat geen verrassing. Een flashback naar het échte debuut in de Hel van... "een...

This article shows what I have been saying about Pogacar being under prepared for junior races, when other juniors were already training like a pro (and I don't even say how much better the equipment was compared to Pogacar).

absolutely, but one could argue that also in his first two 2 tdf he was under prepared, you can see it clearly from his body composition. Sola mentioned it in the december camp that a big step pog made in 2024 was related to his body composition. When you look at some 18/19 years old riders that become pro today you can visually see they are already more maximised than a 21/22 year old pog, which makes his first 2 tdf victories absolutely impressive

Looks very muscular there. Definitely in peak classics shape.
2 more weeks of monster 1 day efforts then back to training to hone long climbing endurance fitness and body composition.

He is probably 66 kg and will drop to 64,5 kg for the Tour just like last year.

That picture, lol. So Pogi was wheelsucked by the Cookie Monster in JR—no wonder the guy has taken social distancing to a whole new level, gives ptsd.

Johan didn't learn the lesson. His pride is hurt after how badly wrong he was in RVV. And MVP was lucky, without WVA he would lose almost 2 minutes after his bonk.

It’s funny; days before, he was better than ever, and in the race he even rode brilliantly following several relentless KOM efforts non stop and was clearly best of the rest in terms of strenght. For his sake, just one too many.
MvdP is awesome, but this Pogacar is just a different level even in RVV. It really shouldn’t be hard to admit that. Notice how it’s not MvdP with the excuses.

Some of them are even saying he was on the level of Wout and Pedersen even after dropping them (with Pogi) 3 or 4 times (Paterberg, Koppenberg, Taaienberg, I think I am forgetting other berg). He just got cooked by a better classics rider.

He got worse after RVV. If he wins PR, he was fully recovered, if he doesn't, it is because he is sick. So silly...

He might have caught a super ultra mega cold, who knows.

This is what’s so annoying about die hard Pogacar fans. Instead of saying nice win of Pogi, a shame MVDP wasn’t at his best, you guys have to keep pushing the narrative as if he’s much better than anyone else on the bike. Deliberately ignoring all signs that MVDP wasn’t at his best.
It is just excuses after excuses.
Pog was simply better in RVV.
Maybe PR will suit MVDP more, he is the favorite.
But it is tiring with these excuses.

Will be a movie.
Dont know what to expect. Just pure and real ciclissimo! No matter what he is the GOAT.
When Mathieu and Remco loses to Tadej, they are never at their best. According to your narrative

Last topic I’m replying to you—there’s no point. But it’s Roubaix weekend, so let’s keep the vibes happy! Not once have I disrespected MvdP. Im as big a fan of MvdP as I am of Pogacar(and everyone else who should become that great, I just prefer greatness). Show me one time where I disrespected MvdP here? by saying A isn’t hard and doesn’t necessarily mean B, why do you jump to that conclusion?
It’s very obvious that MvdP has never ridden the bergs faster than he did this edition—in fact, he did it several times, natuarly that takes its toll even on a champion like MvdP. But at the same time, you’re saying he wasn’t at his best? And yet, expect me to take you seriously? If anything, MvdP deserves nothing but praise. He rode brilliantly, and I’ve given him credit all along for the true champion he is. It really isnt hard to admit one rider is better than the other.
