Teams & Riders Tadej Pogačar discussion thread

[Cycling111]

Pogacar's bike doesn't have time trial attachments. It's possible that he's suffering from arm injuries from the accident.

He could lose time in the first part, but it's probably better to avoid pain.

Surprised Soler, Wellens and Yates not taking it chill..
Really hard day 2mrw!

Maybe just trying to not let the legs feel too stiff

Riding like an active rest day

What is of higher value: stage wins at the tour and prizes such as green jersey. Or riding the vuelta and winning it after the tour win?

Pogacar has to win the Vuelta to have the three GTs. Once he wins, he'll never come back. Eddy never came back.

I would counter if worlds are not competitive to pogis qualities, he would rode the vuelta even if he’s won it before. He would also contest in the twilight of his career

Did they get it right with the bike? They're doing better with the time trial bike.

A crashed Pogacar is playing with these guys..

 

[Jack_89]

I had an expectation of +40s on Jonas. So that's good.

 

[Peyroteo94]

When he was leading the first point with a road bike, I knew he would kill everybody.

The accident must be taken into account. He may lose a few seconds of strength. Not much, but any accident always has an impact.

 

[Peyroteo94]

He is already 4 minutes ahead of Vingegaard. ROFL

Now he just has to put on the cruise control for tomorrow, recover from the fall and win on Tuesday on the Ventoux. Regardless of the gap

Tomorrow I don't even know if Visma will try anything

 

[Cycling111]

Pogacar has to try Rwanda time trial

He doesn't care.

Jonas did a very good ITT. Looked much better than yesterday. In his shoes, I would give a shot tomorrow on the last climb. A small test...on himself

Pogacar as expected, Vingegaard better than expected after yesterday.

But I somehow think this give Vingegaard more moral. So I'm sure they will try make the race hard again yesterday. Because he going for the win, and second he is not going to lose. But all this just means Pogacar can win stages without even going for it, and I don't think Pogacar will crack in 3rd week as Visma race for.
