Teams & Riders Tadej Pogačar discussion thread

[Cycling111]

Il presidente della Società Ciclistica Alfredo Binda Renzo Oldani, con emozione, ha speso grandi parole di elogio nei confronti di Tadej Pogacar: “Siamo chiaramente felici ed orgogliosi di avere di nuovo il campione del mondo dei professionisti al via della nostra manifestazione. Ma oggi non voglio parlare del campione o del corridore di cui si è già detto tanto e che tutti conosciamo. Oggi voglio ringraziare l’uomo Tadej Pogacar. Ha dimostrato di essere una persona che mantiene la parola data, perché un anno fa mi aveva promesso che sarebbe tornato qui a Varese e nonostante un calendario fitto di impegni in questo finale di stagione ha dimostrato di avere una grande sensibilità e di dare un grande valore all’amicizia che dimostra con la partecipazione alla Tre Valli Varesine 2025. Anche da questi gesti si misura la statura umana di Tadej, che non è solo un grande campione, ma è un grande uomo”.

Renzo Oldani, president of the Alfredo Binda Cycling Society, was emotional and praised Tadej Pogacar: "We are clearly happy and proud to have the professional world champion back at the start of our event. But today I don't want to talk about the champion or the rider, about whom so much has already been said and whom we all know. Today I want to thank Tadej Pogacar the man. He has proven to be a man who keeps his word, because a year ago he promised me he would return here to Varese. And despite a busy schedule this final part of the season, he has shown great sensitivity and the value he places on the friendship he demonstrates by participating in the Tre Valli Varesine 2025. These gestures also demonstrate Tadej's human stature; he is not only a great champion, but a great man."

French people have shown themselves to be a special breed of welcoming and hospitable people over the years.

When Pogacar wins Lombardia next Sunday (and thereby podiums), he will become the first rider in the history to podium all five Monuments within the same year.

(I was being ironic, just in case you thought I was serious.) And mean French sportfans and only based on several years of unsportsmanlike behavior like this, Spitting, throwing urine etc. I'm not a fan, thats easy to say.

Of course I knew you were being ironic

Monuments+Worlds:
3, 1, 2, 1, 1, 1?

Best classics season ever without a doubt.

I don't agree. He is just lucky to have a much better team when they both ride for their national team. You turn this in a w/kg contest and Pogacar will rip Remco. GdL will be a prime example of that.

I thought Slovenia did a pretty decent job for Pogacar in the Euro RR considering it’s barely more than a CT level roster other than Pogacar and a far from in form Mohoric for whom the parcours were too climby anyway.

A few other notable landmarks he would reach with a win would be:
- joint record holder with Coppi for GDL wins but most in a row on his own
- 3rd rider in history to reach 10 monument wins
- 2nd rider ever to win 3 monuments in a season (Merckx managed this a mind bending 4 times in his career)
- Lowest cumulative position total in history for all 5 monuments in 1 season.

Actually by the time Pogacar may be the record holder (or at least joint) for most wins on 3 of the 5 monuments, WC and Tour se France.
