Looks ready to smash.

Agreed, Stage 6 feels like the perfect launchpad for a statement move. If he gets a gap early on those gradients, it becomes a mental game for the rest of the GC contenders trying to chase him down.

It almost look like he carries much more body fat than any other professional cyclist.

Regarding TdF, I'm shocked to see Narvaez not doing it after his fantastic performance last year. Yates is regressing as a rider so I thought McNulty would be the obvious replacement to him.
Nevertheless, this won't matter at all. Yates can still be reliable in the mountains (not the last man anymore) and Pogacar won't need much help since I believe he will not have a single threat in the Tour.
Any gap under 6' will be a big surprise to me.

What a beast !

With that said, even though Im one of his biggest fan it will take a bad day for MVP to be able to drop him

Not knowing everything about cycling, can I ask, what is the benefit of moto pacing? Is it just to replicate being in the peloton, when training by yourself? It doesn't look like he's getting anything from it, apart from being dragged up the hill.

I believe he is trying to replicate a UAE train in front of him.

Carbon monoxide inhalation. Same reason De Lie works so much with cows. /jk

It's to simulate race pace.

Being able to train at a faster pace, while it is not as taxing?

Basically a simulation.

They named a new pavement sector where Pogacar crashed kind of funny tbh. Soon the pilgrimage will start.

People die from CO, x-men get stronger.

It will be almost 5 months without any races. Can't wait to his season debut in Strade!
