Teams & Riders Tadej Pogačar discussion thread

If Pogi takes yellow today then the theory on how he wanted to avoid polka dots for the TT doesn't hold water.

If Pogi doesn't want any jersey (yellow or polka) he should simply avoid attacking today but I'm not sure this is the plan.

Interesting. I wear size 35 and had no real idea of these specific advantages!
In the Instagram post below, he's washing his shoes, but I can't see what size they are and I don't really want to see what a Google search might turn up.

I agree with this.

 

[Peyroteo94]

They’d do a count back on the placements for the last 4 stages and whoever is lower will be 1st.

Pogacar got a 91st place so he looks good to not be in yellow (it will not matter anyway, MVP will not lose the sprint against Pogacar).

It's the Tour de France, I doubt the sponsor jerseys are *** for the best riders in the world. They probably have all the measures and get made on the spot.

What would Bruyneel or Wiggans know?

What would Bruyneel or Wiggans know?

Wiggins said Vingegaard was the favorite for the Tour. He can win it, but favorite?

 

[scribers]

Oh dear. He’s not that dumb. Maybe a little addled. But not dumb.

I’m going to guess he was characterized as “one of the favorites”

The feeling is the same as in 2024. In San Luca Pogacar couldn't go alone either. We saw what happened after that.

And this time Vingegaard went over his limit for sure.

100th!!!! Beast!! João is the perfect domestique, what a job!! I think he will be on the podium!

 

[KZD]

100th career win legend!

Still many more to come surely.

 

[Miha81]

100th with the sprint. Rogla would say: "Why not, eh?"

 

[Jack_89]

Masterclass victory: he knew MVDP would have beat him in the sprint. So he put up a win-win strategy: a solo attack on the last cote and, if it didn't work, he would have won the sprint against a depleted MVDP.

Wellens in polka dot. Won 3x KOM

Pog a level above Vinge. Last year Jonas was holding him on San Luca. Today got dropped on a 800 m hill. Insanity.

18 TdF stage wins. More than half behind Mark!!

He was briefly distanced but basically bridged back at the top.

I know what I saw and I know what it means.

We never know but it seems a very similar scenario

 

[No Excuses]

Congrats to nr 100. A historical day

 

[Peyroteo94]

How many years do you think he will take to reach 200 wins? Or if he will

 

[Jack_89]

In truth i don't see any similarly with the 2024 SanLuca. The climb was ridden in a different way. And Pogacar attacked in the false flat . Ofc today Jonas went into red but he showed a very good level too.

 

[Tymek]

I mean, it depends how past seasons affected him and how long he manages to keep this shape.
