Teams & Riders Tadej Pogačar discussion thread

[Monsi]

Hopefully Mathieu recovers for tomorrow or else Pogi will be back in yellow.

Doesn’t really matter that much if that happens. The weekend stages are sprint stages so Trek will control. Then he can give the jersey away again to a non-threatening rider on stage 10. Now of course, there’s post-stage duties if he’s in yellow so there’s just that.

Now of course, there’s post-stage duties if he’s in yellow so there’s just that.

That's what I'm talking about. I don't think it bothers him but he wanted to lay low. He is in the middle of potentially his greatest season to date so wants to be fully focused.

 

[Rou]

He should not let himself be distracted by random scrubs like Benoot and Campenaerts on his way to greatness.
Stay chill and humiliate the Dane a couple more times.

 

[yaf2]

Lock in for tomorrow! Boss said he is going for it. 2nd stage win incoming

He is. Don't worry. It would be good to be 30 seconds behind MVP just to not surpass him in the GC tomorrow but it is what it is. They are targetting mur de bretagne and I believe he will win there.

Today was the perfect day for 2nd stage win. Tomorrow will be more difficult to win.

In 2021, he finished second behind VDP.

If the same thing happens, at least he won't be wearing the jersey

Nah, different Pogacar and different MVP. In fact I believe MVP was a better climber in 2021 (despite being a worse rider) and Pogacar was nowhere the same rider he is right now.

Not only a GOAT but The Lorax as well.

I had to google that. Thank you, it's great.

With VDP so exhausted tomorrow he could win the stage.

If VDP had taken the 2-minute advantage today, Pogacar would have been out of the podium until the rest day, but with 1 second and seeing VDP so exhausted, it's going to be complicated.

He´ll have to make the podium but the weekend UAE won't even have to control, sprinter´s teams will do it.

Yep. Might as well stay in yellow. Those days tally and add to the legend

Healy jokefully thanks Tadej for today's stage. The whole Peloton respects Pogacar with the exception of the 8 riders from Rabobank.

Yeah, the whole peleton respects the Godfather except 8 guys, who are on the famous blacklist...

They are there for multiple reasons that have accumulated over the last 4 years.

 

[Rou]

Like it or not Pog is a smiley but vengeful guy. Today will not be forgotten.

 

[scribers]

There are a lot of receipts between vismas and uae for sure. Vengeance and torture is always on the menu.

 

[Peyroteo94]

This Tour is so backloaded Jesus. We will have the first proper mountain stage in a week.

 

[Peyroteo94]

I was looking for Tour of Austria and Teddy will have this team in the Vuelta.
Pogacar
Almeida
Grobschartner
Majka
Bjerg
And I hope for 3 powerhorses since there is a TTT. It is important to not give Vingegaard too many seconds in the TTT.

A great team to be honest and it will be hard for Visma to beat this squad.

They should bring Vermersch, Mcnulty and Vine. Great for the TT and can do well in other stages

PCS has:
Pogi
Almeida
Majka
Novak
Bjerg
Christen
Soler

Would love to have Grosschartner instead of Novak. I think the last one should be Vermeersch.

 

[Red Rick]

Pogacar is a big bully. I don't like big bullies.

 

[Unchained]

Three pogi twin brothers is nightmare fuel.

Like the Hansens on Slapshot

Was given a t-shirt from a site..tshirthell..says @ I had s&x with girl from Hanson..infamous for MMMBop song....Pogacar would make good art just years ago when he qualified for white jersey also, picture of him in all!!

McNulty doesn´t act as a domestique. And this year he's doing mediocre time trials, so he's not as indispensable.

Morgado and Christen were on the pre-list.

Grobschartner looks a obvious pick to me

Pogacar is a big bully. I don't like big bullies.

Yeah, can't forget that bullying in PDBF 2020

Pogačar ostro nad tekmece: “Visma je v zaostanku, ampak to, kar so delali danes, ni imelo smisla”

Čeprav s težavo, je vesel predaje rumene majice.
