Teams & Riders Tadej Pogačar discussion thread

[Cookster15]

I don't want to fill this thread talking about Remco. But to finish my point:

1 - Del Toro is 1.80, 3 cm taller than Pogacar. So I wouldn't call him tall (Froome, Basso were dominant climbers in their prime and they are tall). I believe Del Toro looks more like a climber and he is more natural in the mountains than Remco. It's early to tell right now, but next year we will have an answer for sure.

2 - Are we forgetting 2025 when looking to Remco's climbing ability? I know he is better than what he showed but he didn't show a single (good) performance in the mountains. Where were those watts? I saw him doing very good performances in TTs for example. This just shows his performances are more about low CDA, than raw power.
How do you explain his performance in the Dauphiné? Completely smoked the field in the TT and 2 days later, he is losing 2 minutes to Pogacar in 7 km?

I sent you a reply on these points in the Remco thread.
