Teams & Riders Tadej Pogačar discussion thread

[Peyroteo94]

you are way too optimistic

I think they will analyze the season and how Remco performs against Pogacar in the Ardennes. He went to Bora so something good can happen in his development (Pogacar improved a lot when he changed his coach. I'm not expecting Remco to make a significant leap though) and let's see him against Pogacar. If he continues to get beaten "easily", Belgium will probably race differently in the WCRR.

Imagine having to ride against two pogacars in a single race, one in Worlds jersey & the other on European jersey 🥵😅

But at least we can have some competition now.

And because some believe that with good domestiques he can win the Tour. It helps, and a favorite has to have a good team, but that's not everything.

Roglic had a far superior team in 2020; Pogacar didn't have a team and won the Tour in his second year as a professional. There was a glimpse of a Tour winner, even though the team was crap .
Remco in 2024 at least had Landa and finished at the same distance as Daniel Felipe Martinez in the Giro, Pogacar in 2020 didn't even have a domestique like 2024 Landa.

He is back. I didn't know anything about him since the TdF

That's wishful thinking. Domestiques will not bring Pogacar back when he attacks

UAE is using a cheat code to win GdL. Pogacar's team was released:

I expect 6 UAE in a group of 25 riders before Ganda.
