Teams & Riders Tadej Pogačar discussion thread

[Cycling111]

Pogacar isn't the favorite for Roubaix, but Vermeersch is even less so. Last year he couldn't keep up with Van der Poel for a single meter.The idea of overtaking sounds good, but with MVDP and Alpecin after 2023 in Roubaix is impossible.
I just want to remind that Philipsen has been second two years in a row and last year he was the rider who go with them for several kilometers, not Vermeersch.

The same old argument. Pogacar isn't the favorite, but he's the only one close to MVDP in that race, but it's better to focus on a rider who can't even keep up with Philipsen.

Last year Vermeersch was stuck in the group behind when it exploded. He couldn't go to the front, because Pogacar was there and he would've brought along other riders.

Pretty sure it is Tratnik.

Yes, it's him. He uploaded a story to Instagram.
But what Bling says isn´t is from that moment.

No, from last year before Worlds so pretty close to peak Pogacar

It makes sense for UAE to give free reign to Vermeersch in Roubaix. It is often a free for all in the last 80km anyway.

I don't think this is contraversial. Much like at Alpecin Phillipsen has an element of freedom.

Ultimately the road (and in Roubaix often luck) will decide the selection. If they are both in the selection better two cards than one!

He won't ride a time trial bike again until Romandie.

Maybe that’s the key to MSR, go on an absolute flier with the TT bike.

Has he ever said anything right or is his whole career just a parody skit of being a journalist

There was a time when he was reliable, especially with signings.

But for the last few years, he's seemed like a parody of himself.

"Honest question to all fans:
If you find me in conversation with someone and you ask me for photo, I ask you to give me two minutes to finish talk. Do you wait 2 minutes or show me middle finger and take off angry? (And have your partner yelling at me?)

Long day ended with losing biggest fan 😢, btw i love you all. Heck i even like the fans that are not my supporters but don’t have attitude of spoiled teenager."

- Pogacar today on strava

 

[CyclistAbi]

Rather simple. If somebody can't wait for two minutes and doesn't even handle their partner, yelling, then it most certainly doesn't deserve a photo. Bottom line refusing to take a photo with such person gives that person a reason and time to self reflect and on the long run hence improves the world.

Thanks Pogi for making the world a better place.
