Teams & Riders Tadej Pogačar discussion thread

Basically Pogacar can't show he is effortless while is crushing his rivals so he should fake a little bit just for his opponents not be angry.

I know but this is just stupid. Cycling is the only sport that when u are the best you should just stop winning , because otherwise you are disrespectful..

Yes. What was Federer supposed to do after his 2004 season?
Every sport had guys dominating the field. This doesn't happen only in cycling.
Snooker: Hendry
Athletics: Bolt
Tennis: Federer
In these sports, I don't listen complaints about their dominance.

If he thinks Pogi should do less trolling with the mic, then fair enough. He can let his legs do the talking.

Bolt was a dislikeable showboater to be fair.

The only frustrating thing was that with him shutting it down so far from the lane we never got to see how fast his maxed out time on a quick track in peak shape would be.

He's not

I used to get way more salty at Federer winning.

I would love to see part of you saltiness.
But that's probably been young Red Rick John.

What? Biggest star by a huge margin in Athletics.

Well just never cared for his antics waving with the hands infront of eyes, headbobbing into the camera etc. Not to mention when he tried to go professional in football at the age of 30 or whatever claiming he would do well in United and stuff.

Guess part of it is also that he was so marketed and as someone who don't really find 9-20 second events that entertaining you couldn't really choose to avoid him even if you wanted to.

IYO.

Correct that's my opinion, why are we here if not to share opinions?

You stated it as if it was a fact, or at least commonly accepted.

EDIT: We are here to argue over which rider sucks the most, and how the most recent race wasn't as good as the one in 1940, or 1987.

Honest question: Can he reach to the 8 stage wins mark in July? He is looking very dominant and there are 5 stages I can see him winning easily if he is the best climber.
