Teams & Riders Tadej Pogačar discussion thread

[MarioeTheo]

It will be a discomfort nonetheless and will stiffen up for the next couple of days. Unfortunate.

Indeed.

But he will stomp Vini tomorrow nonetheless.

I admire the optimism but jump out of your car at 30+ km/h into the pavement and tell me it's just rash. It will have an impact on the race, that's for sure. It remains to be seen how much.

 

[snipeheem]

come on guys in SB he looked like he came out of a battlefield, if you look at the finish today there are basically no evident signs of road rash

Yeah thats what i meant

 

[rafa92]

I'm totally sick of this tour de france, 11 stages of nothing and you have mr nobodys thinking they can do something and they sprint for 10th place in a stage crashing the favourite in the process.

 

[Jan the Man]

road rash seems absolutely minimal looking at him after the crash and at the finish. Anyways if the UCI really wants to take safety seriously the uno x rider should leave the race. You can't allow influencing the result of the biggest race because of the behaviour of a rider

Great to hear- hopefully he can fire on all (or most) cylinders tomorrow.

As for crash We don’t hear audio from peloton who knows whether there was a shout and from perspective i have seen difficult to attribute full blame you also have to be attentive in the group.

Whereas slowing shows great sportsmanship personally i am not a fan. Nobody can tell me if it was anyone other than Pog, Jonas or Remco there would have been a slow down. Ultimately crashes are part of bike racing and i would have loved to have seen a chase. He would unlikely to have lost more than 20s.

He was bruised and had rash on shoulder, elbow and leg.

Lol, "Pogi's fault". The UnoX rider should get a yellow card

No, UAE will be defending his lead, I don't expect Hautacam breaking record performance from Pogacar in these circumstances.

Even though i am his fan & never been critical of him what he had today is deserved. Shameful how the strongest rider in the world acts like this relentlessly

Nice rage-bait.

 

[Peyroteo94]

Worst thing is Visma will probably say they are a genius team.

Acts like what? I'm confused.

It is a reckless move from THJ.

 

[No Excuses]

Iam not a religious person, but i will pray for him tonight

 

[Peyroteo94]

It is a reckless move from THJ.

Of course. But some of here are very happy since hope is back on the menu.

I expected Pogacar's attack tomorrow but now I have doubts. If the crash affects him then damage limitation will be the only goal for the Pyrenees.

 

[Rou]

Pog probably wants to punch the Norwegian in the face now.
Spend all this time, prepare like a monster, focus on your goals and be crashed by a random farmer who nobody will know existed 20 years from now.
I would be livid in his place.

stop with these yellow cards, they are useless, this rider has no right in being in this race

 

[Rou]

Now this clown THJ is giving interviews with a smile upto his ears.
No remorse.

Typically this can be a problem the day after a crash but all of the pros say they feel the worst the second day after

absolutely, this can't be accepted

The problem is that there is no recovery time, we are heading into 3 brutal stages.

I think tomorrow he will be able to follow, but now I think he will lose some time on MTT, and Saturday he might even get gaped by Vingo
