Teams & Riders Tadej Pogačar discussion thread

[Cycling111]

Only De Vlaeminck and Merckx have more Monuments than him.

Pogacar's weakness at Amstel was definitely caused by PR.
PR has been greatly underestimated.
Last year, van der Poel said that Amstel was his hardest race because he was exhausted after PR.


I was wrong in my prediction with Cicoone. I didn't expect it to be this good, not even the best from Lidl.

First time that Pogačar wins two monuments in the spring. 2025 may become as good as 2024.

Yup. On his way to 3 monuments! I already told this is Pogacar's kindergarten! He just got extremely unlucky here. He could be a 5 times winner

10 kph headwind on Redoute and Roche aux Faucons. I think he needs someone with him after La Redoute.

You mean his shadow of course?

Portuguese commentators said the hard truth. Remco's problem is riding in the same generation of Pogacar.

Amazing day!

What a spring campaign.

Now some deserved rest and then build up for the summer.

He was so cocky after Amstel.

Nice to see Pog giving him a lesson.

By far the least stressful classic for me. I can actually function for the rest of the day

Probably the best spring season after Merckx.

It was a training ride. His kindergarten, his terrain, he wins when and where he wants!
Best classics rider in the world by far!

 

[Tony Furgusson]

How many riders won 3 monuments in a season? I know Merckx did it 3 or 4 times. Anyone else?

Your right, only Merckx won 3 monuments...four times. But the best monument season will be Pogacar if he wins Lombardia...we have to remember he was second in PR and third in MSR...witch means the best monument season in cycling history.

 

[SHAD0W93]

One of the best spring seasons ever and only MVDP stopped Pogacar from the best spring of all time. Hopefully CdD gives us a good fight between Vingegaard and Pogacar.

Yes. Rewriting history and bulding even more his legacy

 

[Savant12]

Such an easy monument win for Pog. Didn't even need to go deep.

 

[Peyroteo94]

No crashes. Now he can rest for a week and go wild in Sierra Nevada

 

[Offline]

Well that looked easy. He didn't even attack. Pogacar even better than last year?

 

[No Excuses]

GOAT shows the sceptics who is the man.
Another great performance to secure 2nd monument of the season. Without MVdP it could heve been 4 now.
I'll miss him until dauphine but now it's time to rest

He is. His MSR attack showed that IMHO.

 

[Medvind]

Some of us tried to convince ourselves that there might be a possibilty he could be challenged, trying to make it interesting. Who were we kidding?

This was just complete domination and I doubt he even went full gas. He created a gap by just pushing hard on La Redoute and from thereon he was in total controll, riding within himself.

He will win the tour with at least 5 minutes. It won't be a contest at all.

He is superior.

 

[Peyroteo94]

GOAT path:
5 TdF
1 Vuelta
1 MSR
1 PR

This is what he must win to be the best ever IMHO.

Hopefully mate. Can't stand Vingegaard.

May I wish 15 GTs and 25 Monuments? Thanks.

These seated attacks man. Can Vingo get him out of the sadddle?

Without Van der Poel this would easily be the best season ever and it can still become if Pogacar wins Tour-Vuelta-WCRR-Lombardia in the second half of the season.

Vingegaard already showed he can compete mano a mano with Pogacar, multiple times. On the other hand, only belgian fans put Remco in the same boat with Pogacar. Ah, and another portuguese user but yeah... Pogacar is unbeatable in hilly classics when he is in peak shape.
If he does the Vuelta, Remco might have a chance in Kigali.
