It's also very annoying that you laugh at so many posts with the intention of being disrespectful, and I've never said anything to you.
And don't think you're smarter than anyone else, as if everything you said was the absolute truth and you're there to say who's wrong.
If you want to talk about what is annoying, that arrogance and believing yourself superior to me is really annoying. I've never addressed you in those terms. And it's not the first time you've spoken as if you were superior to the rest and referred to others as if we were inferior. That is annoying.

This is a thread for discussing Pogacar and giving our opinions.

It's not a thread for you to judge me.

You just laughed at a post before me here lol

I have never done that to anyone here. Wtf?

I also didnt single you out. You responded to a post out of context and got offended over it.

Post away dude. I just hope Pog and the team keeps doing the complete opposite. It is all good.

He said this on a podcast, and several media outlets picked it up.
And if I remember correctly, in this same thread we discussed doing the 3 GT because Sola had said so.

It would be good if you asked Mou for his sources. Two days ago, he said Pogacar was burned out, and today he says he wasn't.
He contradicts himself several times, but he knows more than Pogacar's coach.

Post a source for him saying all of this. When and where has he said this?

You also dont seem to grasp how this makes no sense schedule-wise. It is not a good idea, which I said many months ago and detailed why many times.

So I am happy, some common sense seems to have prevailed.

You are just often wrong and it has become annoying. Not just about this.

'I think that he can still improve a little bit' - Tadej Pogačar's coach to increase Slovenian's strength and intensity training for 2025

UAE Team Emirates coaches Javier Sola and Jeroen Swart on how they power and nutrition have changed the sport and Pogačar's preparation
www.cyclingnews.com www.cyclingnews.com
Here is the source, mate.
@Cycling111 is correct.
One quick search and the result is there.
'Sola was present at the UAE Team Emirates training camp in Spain on Tuesday where Pogacar confirmed his 2025 goals, with the Spring Classics and a Tour-Vuelta double leading his ambitions.'
Any more questions?

So ambition and it making sense is too completely different things, as I said. Reasons it didnt go that way.

Thank you for source though.

If he doesnt like the atmosphere in UAE he should choose another team of course. A lot of contracts nowadays, soccer, Ice hockey and other sports include a buy out part. I wouldnt be to surprised if Pogacar has that too, only problem would be to find someone rich enough to buy him out I guess...
I think it is a good choice Not to race Vuelta this year, easy course or not. None of us know how bad the crash was. I saw the pic on his swollen knee and I feared that it was fractured.

Only team that can afford him is Ineos, but that's only because he's better at football than Rasmus Hojlund.

It is true. I just posted what Soler said. Soler was saying this because they probably discussed it. Tour-Vuelta was definitely an option this year and Pogacar decided to not race the Vuelta in the last week.

Yes.

And Sola talked about the Vuelta as part of a second block. The first block was for the classics.

And he also talked about three GTs in one year. Obviously, that year without the spring classics.
But if they're talking about three GTs, how can it be a lie that he talked about doing the Vuelta this year? It wouldn't have made sense.

I don't know what happened, but it's clear that between what Sola and Pogacar himself said a few months ago and what's being said now, things have happened.What we don't know is what.

Right now, it seems unthinkable that Pogacar would do all three Grand Tours in one year. But last year in Zurich, Pogacar said he'd do two Grand Tours per year in the coming years, and his coach added the Vuelta a España to the calendar this year, knowing better than anyone Pogacar's numbers and fatigue capacity. Now, suddenly, it seems taht Pogacar doesn't even want to do the Tour, even though his coach was talking about doing all three, and Pogacar was talking about doing two at least two GT per year next 2-3 years.

Something happened.

An option, but it was asking for too much (out of himself) after what he has done up until now… and it was the most likely outcome.

I doubt that Soler knew about Pog classics plan

Well, from what he was saying, he did know the GT calendar. The domestiques usually know which leader they're going for. Furthermore, in UAE, setting the GT calendar is very important given the aspirations of Almeida and Ayuso.

By the way, Almeida was asked about the Vuelta in Switzerland, and from what he said, it was obvious Pogacar was going to the Vuelta.

Revisit that interview. Or maybe I´m also invent it LOL

That's recent, you'll remember.

Remember what Almeida said in Switzerland when he was asked if he'd be the leader in the Vuelta. He spoke as if Pogacar were going to the Vuelta.

Something happened after Peyragude.
Pogacar when asked what changed with him in the last week he said that now is not the time to talk about it.
Fatigue is not the answer. We won't know the real reason.
