Hopefully he is fast in such position as Pogi doesn't look all that relaxed to me. Maybe too much of a scientific approach to it? Just use position you are fast and comfortable in. Bike looks like it was over engineered too.

It looks like he's going up a positive slope and is forward with his hips above the crank center. Hard to judge his flat ground position but the position posted by Peyroteo appears to be more neutral for big gear power.
One thing's for sure; Pogi gets serious leverage from those big feet. Maybe that explains part of his cadence with shorter cranks?
The bike looks busy but that wheel stay eliminates the air trap of the earlier bike. That's got to be a wind tunnel update as it's seriously homely.

It would be interesting to see in motion; in that photo, he doesn't seem comfortable to me.

Last year, he finished the first time trial 12 seconds behind Remco. If he doesn't improve, maybe it's best to go back to what worked before.
He will, don't worry. I think he will not lose 50 seconds to Remco in the Tour.

He looks so light. I would not be surprised if his weight is around 64 kg.

Anyone can get into an aero TT position. The challenge is generating power from that position. It is a bit concerning that he is changing things this close to the Tour.

Summer and holiday is here, I hope everyone’s having a blast. Im busy Ill be coming a baby daddy any day now and cant wait.

As for the TDF, I’m sure it’s going to be fun, but let’s be honest noone beating Pogacar. No one’s even close.
He’s in his own league and its no disrespect to anyone but its not hard to call it like it is, nor should it be for anyone. It doesn’t matter who people like or what they want to happen which a few on this forum seem to base their projection on, the gap between him and number two is gigantic, despite some few ppl screaming for a year its close someway in every race he about to enter based on ancient times and totally irrelevant to today while the numbers always said otherwice., People living in the past and get surprised each race is getting kinda weird at this point. What some might wish to happen is irrelevant including me, what matters is numbers. And if were being realistic only a crash can realistically stop him from winning; the numbers never lie.

Pog 2024 to now has just developed in all areas and for anyone paying attention and he is yeah, no need to say it even, it is self-explanatory.

Congrats mate, it's the best and most frightening thing in the world!
Yeah, it's really hard to think Pogacar won't win the Tour without any misfortune and I think he didn't show his true level in the Dauphine.
