Teams & Riders Tadej Pogačar discussion thread

[Jack_89]

No offence to anyone, a small advise: just relax and focus on somewhat else if you can't stop such bad feelings. He's there, he's fine and ready to give battle as always. Tour.is long, nothing's won nothing's lost yet. I wonder what would have happened if he crashed out like Contador in 2014.

Pogi seems in good spirit

He knows he's going to go thermobiblical tomorrow no matter what. They wouldn't be putting this out if he was hurt.

Its looking like El Patron is in good shape after all

The discussion about 'not understanding racing, if you haven't actually done it' comes up several times per year. I tend not to wade in because I'm an 'expert' on the NFL, but I never played beyond HS. But in this case I'm jumping in: it is clear that many of the posts above are being typed by people who have never crashed before (and then had to race the next day(s). Ok, climbing back out...

 

[Lorzenz08]

Even though I am reassured by his good spirit, I still maintain he is going to lose some time to Vingegaard tomorrow (

I think he will fight to limit his loss the next 3 days, and try to recover for 3rd week mountain stages.

 

[Peyroteo94]

Yup. I'm not too optimistic right now. Crashing at 50 kph is never a good thing.

Narvaez is a character!

I honestly think this one of Pogis big strengths - he is just a chilled dude. Obviously the crash at a relatively high speed will take something out of him but I would argue if you go on to really worry on how much and how long it will take to fully recover - you amplify the effect while Pogi with his attitude deals with it in the best way possible.

 

[ppanther92]

what did narvez say? something like "but keep trying"? Anyways I feel like pog is quite relaxed

“But keep the line, ey”

Say goodbye to the natural break era Visma. from now on its the place to put watts on the rider taking the break.

 

[Peyroteo94]

Narvaez is a character!

El Lagarto! He seems to be a nice guy. Pogacar loves him.

Yup. I'm not too optimistic right now. Crashing at 50 kph is never a good thing.

Tomorrow will be the most difficult. Hours in the saddle, multiple climbs.
The MTT should be easier: it's a standalone, short effort and it's easier to push hard then.

 

[Lorzenz08]

Looking where he has the bandage I think now it is a given he will not choose the TT bike

 

[AmRacer]

Is the peloton going to wait for Pogi tomorrow 🤔

Is the peloton going to wait for Pogi tomorrow 🤔

I don't believe. Visma will test him.

 

[Lorzenz08]

I don't believe. Visma will test him.

Yup, they are going in with full confidence.

The sharks have smelled blood in the water

 

[scribers]

Sick. I can’t believe this is thought of as an opportunity

 

[Wyndbrook]

There have been a number of occasions in tour history where there has been a reticence to attack a 'winged leader. Simon with a broken collarbone for example.
But unfortunately for Pogacar he is wearing the wrong colour jersey.

El Lagarto! He seems to be a nice guy. Pogacar loves him.

The only one who was in the main group. Adam Yates was dropped on a short climb. He won't make the final climb tomorrow. A disaster.
