Teams & Riders Tadej Pogačar discussion thread

MvP came out of hibernation in Antwerp. There's hope there.

For like 2 races of the season! MVP is the only rider who beats Pog in big races nowadays. I meant other races, other guys' hope of course.

Only 13 seconds faster than a Unibet rider. Washed.

I know you’re joking but who is this guy? Just one climb mostly done in the offseason but still crazy to be that fast

I think its a thing where good amateurs devote their time specifically going after KOMs and nothing else. Thats the kind of guy Pogacar is, when the off‑season comes and he cant devour the pro peloton, he goes after the amateurs.

Everybody who thinks that Pogi will do Vuelta26 should remember that 100% of the course is in the south of Spain, where the temperature will be 40+ for the 3 weeks.

Damn sure he goes to Vuelta. He's got two rainbow jerseys after all, so Canada is further back in the grand plan, unless some problems happens in early season. He already lost OG by skipping Paris, he's not going to get another chance for that.

MSR, Tour, Vuelta must be his real targets....Wait a minute, did Spain design a blistering hot route to keep Pogi out?

If you're suggesting that heat is still a problem for him it's not anymore. However it's not enjoyable to ride in that hotness snd is a bad preparation for the worlds, so I don't expect him to be there

Correction: 3 out of 3 vs serious challengers after rest/buildup. The guy knows how to prep for important races and Tadej will appreciate the competition. Maybe those observers will quit whining about Pogi's dominance against this serious Guy. Win or lose they are on par with each other.
