Teams & Riders Tadej Pogačar discussion thread

Great. Let's try nothing, cause then you can't fail. Exciting and interesting.

I didn't say that. If I was Pogacar, I would just move a finger if it was Vingegaard.
I already said multiple times, Visma is racing perfectly (excluding stage 6).

 

[Peyroteo94]

It's important to gain 2 - 4 minutes on jorge as early as possible. With Almeida they would have achieved this after hautacam. Despite loosing Almeida i would still make this race hard tomorrow and try to gain time on Jorge. Hopefully they can put pogis overall lead to 2:30 or even 3 minutes. If Matteo manages to go in the break, UAE has to control anyway.

If Pogacar maintains this gap to Matteo, he will gain 3 minutes on Hautacam and MTT.

I would like to know his weight. No more baby fat for sure. Between 2020-2023 he was probably riding the Tour 2 kg heavier.

He is about the same kilo as last year. The other day i heard him say to the organizers at the podium that they can take his last year TT size for caen TT

64,5 kg? Sola said he could still improve his body composition so I expect 7 w/kg on a daily basis from now on.

Sivakov dropped.
I already said he'd been struggling in the mountains all year.

Adam is the other rider who raised doubts.

Visma, two riders in the breakaway, Soudal, two riders in the breakaway, UAE 0.
Adam should have gone with his brother.

 

[Peyroteo94]

His only goal should be: don't be dropped by Vingegaard. If he is, Tour is over with this team

 

[tp4493]

Yeah Team seems weaker then I expected, especially with almeida out

 

[BubbaChuck]

as expected,pog vs visma.yates could be more dangerous than jorg,if he can do finestre as aleadout for jonas.lets not forgert,van aart was dropping adam.

Yes, but they can't create situations like Finestre. Visma and Soudal have two riders in front. UAE should´ve put in the break Adam or Soler.

 

[BubbaChuck]

last year pog accepts team weaker than alpecin or visma in gts/classics.hell start getting annoyed.

The guy is 24 mins behind. Unless he's became Coppi overnight you can sleep well. 😊😊

 

[Peyroteo94]

Yup. Most important thing is turn this in one vs one. For that, UAE need to step up their game on Hautacam and Bagneres.

I don't understand why UAE is pulling, I would let the breakaway take 7 minutes and leave the jersey to healy, the first big test is hautacam

You are assuming Healy is the strongest from the break. It's never that simple!

Even if he doesn't take the jersey, give the breakaway 7 minutes and take it easy, they are spending a lot of energy on a stage that isn't that important.

 

[Peyroteo94]

Visma wasted an opportunity to put him on the ropes.

EF managing the break to the hautacam is ideal

I still don't get why uae is not letting this breakaway go to 7-8 minutes

Whether Pog was in yellow or not, UAE will probably control that stage to go for the win.

 

[Peyroteo94]

They are dumb

Whether Pog was in yellow or not, UAE will probably control that stage to go for the win.

They have extra domestiques with Healy in yellow fetching pog bottles.

 

[Cycling111]

UAE's relations with EF aren´t good after Finestre.

I think Politt simply couldn't go any faster, and with Sivakov's illness, they haven't demanded a high pace from Wellnes either.

unfortunately that won't happen, uae kept it close and now visma will do enough to leave the jersey to him

here they are, visma pulling, uae are fools

 

[Cycling111]

Adam Yates giving bad feeling, like he has been all year.

Pogacar will be alone in the high mountains against 4 Visma.
