Teams & Riders Tadej Pogačar discussion thread

[Peyroteo94]

Let's give all the credit to pundits who literally start with a verifiable lie.

Only CyclingAbi believes Roglic has a chance of winning the RR. You also think he is past his prime, specially on races over 6 hours.

Only CyclingAbi believes Roglic has a chance of winning the RR. You also think he is past his prime, specially on races over 6 hours.

I also think he can win. Obviously his odds are very very low, the race needs to go perfect for him, but he has a chance. Just like Ayuso has a chance for example.

 

[CyclistAbi]

From the article above, you can see it in Rogličes eyes, on what he plans to do, on where with Pogi, due to the sunglasses one can only do speculate, although lips reveal some, it's not a perfect poker face either.

Just for the reference, this is on how you make a poker face. It will be splendid, both boys being there.

No bad romance just bromance. That male model at the end in the video wearing a mask is from Slovenia, he didn't mind at all Lady taking any advantage of him.

But first lets focus on ITT and lets see on what Pogi naturally aspirated engine paired with low weight can do on climbs. If he puts a minute into Remco then we all know what is coming next at RR.

As for Rogla working for others, true, there are no statues in Denmark, Jonas winning the Tour, there are no statues in Slovenia, Pogi winning the Tour or becoming world champion, GC Kuss ... His selfishness only truly embedded in our hearts. For people that don't have a heart, they could never understand.

But where did Roglic help Pogacar in the Tour or WC?

What?

They were always rivals in the Tour. In the World Championships, you're confusing Tratnik with Roglic.

He was there to take the blame if Pogacar failed after his ridiculous attack. Just like this year.

 

[Cycling111]

Gradients on Turbie are similar.

But you have to take into account how it's the climb, the type of road, the non-thecnichal descent...

This ITT is much easier (except for the cobbles section). I think you're going to be disappointed because they say it's not as tough as they were saying.

 

[Krzysztof_O]

But will Roglic pull for Pogacar at any point in the race? I don't think so.

No but Roglic's attack can actually benefit Pogacar as other teams will have to chase (unless Rogla escapes with guys from top teams).

Roglic going away solo is probably the last thing Pogacar wants cause it's kinda bad PR to go and mow him down then.

But then, nothing Pogacar ever does is filtered through any negative lens by anyone but me.

If other teams take responsibility to chase Rogla (and succeed: likely) then it's more advantageous for Pogacar than Slovenia trying to chase other guys (and being unable to do it).

The problem is other teams will put riders with Roglic. So they will not work.

I know you know this isn't true; I've seen you post on Pog's thread in the Clinic where everything he does is filtered through a negative light by everyone.

The Clinic is not exactly representative of cycling fandom or punditry at all

Exactly, that was my point, it doesn't make any sense to even discuss such things here. Any effort would be wasted effort:

Said that, boys will be fine, the goal is world champion and lets do it, nobody will ride against that.

Some people simply refuse to milk the goat.

Pog's thread in the Clinic is full of funny posts. For me, it's pure comedy.

 

[Red Rick]

There are a few threats to humanity i.e. a nuclear war, a cosmic catastrophe and @Red Rick becoming Teddy's fan.

Sleep sweetly. I shall not be the one to forsake mankind like so.

This is where we (forum members) are allowed to talk about doping. Of course Pogacar, with his dominance, is the most talked thread in the Clinic (and where you can find very funny and crazy posts).
