Teams & Riders Tadej Pogačar discussion thread

For the time being winning on brute force isnt easy against MvdP on Oompa Loompa gradients in MSR. He needs to get a tad bit of luck, with or without Narvaez atm imo.

It wont be the case forever so this only serves him well for later and makes him better. Besides, he can also very well win its just arguably his hardest race and MvdP and the oompa loompa route is the ultimate culprint for that.

Just attack Cipressa and reevaluate. But UAE should make sure Del Toro is in G2.

They should've tried this every MSR, but they are so fixated on making Pogacar win, that they forgot to win as a team.

I understand the point you're making, but ultimately they don't want to win with anybody, they want to win with Pogacar. The team wins so much that MSR on its own doesn't mean that much to them. However, they're all in on the Pogacar legacy at the moment, so they're happy to go for Pogacar or no-one. And I do get it - I'd rather watch them try to win it as Pogacar than attack with multiple riders. It's wildly entertaining.
