Teams & Riders Tadej Pogačar discussion thread

True Combloux was a true athletic demonstration.

Hautacam for me was especially epic when he took off at the beginning of the climb, after that, I knew what was gonna happen

On Hautacam we already had Combloux in our mind. This is what makes me think Combloux was better.

He wasn't nice on MVP and Remco too.

lol. I know. You’ve got to stop looking at everything through a prism of Pog against Remco. I posted it simply because it’s hysterically funny.

Roger de Vlaeminck is the undisputed GOAT of spitting out absolute nonsense

I just said he wasn't nice on MVP and Remco too.
This guy (Roger de Vlaeminck) is just crazy.

And yet one of the very greatest riders ever.

Never said the opposite but this doesn't change what I said. He is crazy.
The way he talks about MVP is shocking. I want Pogacar to win PR but I wouldn't mind to see MVP winning his 4th PR just to shut this guy.

Those weaklings Pogacar & Van der Poel are lucky that GOAT Roger doesn't race in this era. They wouldn't even sniff a victory in a monument or WC, would they?

Love to see him winding up the faithful.

Roger & Eddy are like a pair of two known Russian politics. The former says stuff which the latter can't say for PR reasons.

It's a...conspiracy? 🤪

Quite right too, can always depend on Roger to defend his own era., and of course he was the greatest of his generation, well at least he had the most iconic jersey.

Classic angry old man shouts at clouds stuff that is typical of De Vlaeminck. Of course he is desperate to preserve the Merckx as all world hero greatest ever narrative because it makes his own palmares look even better.

To call Remco arrogant was like the pot calling the kettle black.

 

[Krzysztof_O]

I would like Pogi to say something back to Roger so that the grandpa would dust down his old bike and challenge Pogi in races! It would be epic. Too bad Eddy can't do it because of his hip: Teddy got lucky again.

I can never work out with de Vlaeminck if he a) really believes what he's saying, b) is tongue in cheek when he says it or c) just likes getting a reaction.

 

[BubbaChuck]

Roger said this is the most exciting era since his.

It sells, of course they will ask him what he thinks.

I'm questioning if TDU is really a possibility next year. If so, this route is tailormade for him. I'm also very curious to see a prologue on road bikes.

it makes zero sense to start that early to do an irrelevant race. It's clear from this year that doing all 5 monuments, the wc and the tour is exhausting even for pogacar, and starting racing that early would make things even worse. And the prize is just winning TDU? come on, it would be stupid

 

[scribers]

It’s beyond stupid to hear complaints of exhaustion and threats of retirement, turned into starting the season early to race in Australia. I mean start racing in march ffs

Paid family holiday, why not.
