Teams & Riders Tadej Pogačar discussion thread

He will miss him next year for sure.

Doesn't he get some role within the team?

Still, today was the only race they rode together and last year they did the Giro (and obviously Lombardia), so they don't ride too often together nowadays.

Not only money wise. The prestige, the scale, the attention and the glory are all multiplied in Grand Tours.

Yeah, but only because casual fans don't understand ***.
'Casual fans' translates into money.

Therefore, if we are not talking about money, the Vuelta and, to a maybe slightly lesser extent historically, the Giro, don't mean "anything"... when you have 4 wins and 2 second places, as a 27y.o., in the TdF, which is by far the KING when it comes to GTs:
it's all about the TdF!

For those who understand cycling:
- MSR and PR, even more so the latter, would be epic.
- RVV was already a big deal (and by 'big deal' I actually mean it being "impressive")
- Only LBL and GdL aren't such a huge deal from a GT winner - albeit even in those scenarios we were generally talking about 2-3 total LBL+GdL tops, definitely not 5 GdL in a row

Yeah but, even so... he won't get to look at his *** as much.

During the 2024 Giro there was a funny IG comment/Tweet stating that Pogi sees Majka's butt more than he sees Urska's, and Pogi&Majka gave it a like/retweeted it.

All jokes aside, it's a pity that Majka is already up there age wise 'cause while UAE is obviously a very strong team some could argue that some of his teammates are not as reliable as domestiques.
Majka was hard to match in that sense.

Love this song. He also put this song last year after winning GdL.
What a season! He really loves this race!

Just stating his goals again so it's possible his schedule for next year is pretty similar to this year. Just hoping UAE Tour gets left off as well as AGR and FW.

His schedule will be similar to 2025

Second year in a row with 5 major wins! He and Merckx did this.

Probably no Vuelta before 2029
2026 WC course will be good for him
2027 will be even better
2028 is in UAE
