Teams & Riders Tadej Pogačar discussion thread

Tadej Pogacar on Eurosport: "I didn't have that firepower in me to counter Jonas and give it all to the finish. Chapeau to Arensman, incredible ride and well-deserved, I'm happy for him. And I'm happy to be in Yellow. "

I still think this gap is short and a Pogi's mistake can ruin his Tour

No mistake can account for that gap. It would have to be illness

 

[Rou]

Just a small tip for you guys.
Listen to Tom Danielson's analysis later.
He is the most insightful guy who doesn't repeat the same cliches.
He analysed Pog 's sandbagging in the Dauphine and predicted the destruction in the Tour.

 

[Kedjan]

So Pog said in the interview that he didn't have the firepower to counterattack and go to the finish. Instead he controlled and saved energy for the sprint.

Chill Pogi fans, it's not the end of the world.

So Pog said in the interview that he didn't have the higher power to counterattack and go to the finish. Instead he controlled and saved energy for the sprint.

Chill Pogi fans, it's not the end of the world.

He saves bullets for the alps

I agree but I think he wants to get more rest to really nail Ventoux and Loze.

Don't listen to Pog's interviews, man.
I don't pay attention anymore.
I won't forget his trolling in the Dauphine.

When Steinhauser won he said something similar, and that day it was very evident that he gave away the stage.

 

[Miha81]

Well... to be fair he "only" lost 6 minutes in the 'I am dead, I am gone' accident.

Therefore 10 min might do, I guess.

Depends on what stage would happen. Anyway I am 99,99% sure it won't. TJV will have to crack him or something should go terribly wrong for him to loose it this year.

He mainly said that he was happy with how it went and that Steinhauser was really strong, but I don‘t think he said something about his own legs back then.

Still wouldn't be enough with a total bonk.
And a total bonk is more likely if you go deeper early in the race.

 

[carolina]

Criticised if he wins too much, criticised if he wins too little...

 

[yaf2]

But they stopped. Yates was soft pulling or you think he was trying all out?
Come on...
Soler was pulling crazy and when they caught the Vismas they slowed down.

Was clear for me🙄

 

[Revelation]

Despite Pog saying he's not here to make friends, he still doesn't want to win something like 9 stages, he knows that would be too excessive. 6-7 is fine.

Hum... let's wait for Mont. Ventoux

 

[yaf2]

Hum... let's wait for Mont. Ventoux

Great for the neutrals. The tour is still alive

 

[kingjr]

Hum... let's wait for Mont. Ventoux

I don't think what happens on MV tells us much about today, the last in a sequence of three very hard stages.

 

[Rechtschreibfehler]

He did say yesterday that he overdid it a bit in the time trial and nearly blew himself up. He's still an organic being, even Pogacar can feel an effort. And he did crash as well, might still impede his sleeping.

All these accounts seem to work for Visma. I remember when LR was the same and claimed to have no connection with them . Until they admitted it.

Do these people know that Simon Yates won a stage? UAE didn't stop him, and Simon just won the Giro against UAE, but they wanted to give him the stage, but not Kuss.

Since they can't criticize Pogacar for being a cannibal today, they have to say anything.

A disaster could still happen (crash, illness, terrible day) but his GC situation is great after the first mountain block. I mean 3 days ago some were wondering if he would be able to follow Jonas after the crash and now he's over 4 minutes ahead.

 

[Pantani_lives]

There are still four people alive with more stage wins than Pogacar in the Tour.

3 days ago people were giving up on the Tour because he was riding on an aero bike.

I mean, guy said he wasn't feeling well enough. Yet he still caught his main opponent SEATED and easily distanced him in a 200 meters sprint. All while he is in yellow with a gap of 4 minutes and evidently has the strongest teams. Despite "Yates being weak".
Get a grip.

You're right

 

[Cycling111]

Like everyone else, he looks a little tired. Besides, he won't sleep as well as he should because of the position of the arm.
