Teams & Riders Tadej Pogačar discussion thread

[Berniece]

There is any chance he will give the win to Del Toro? Or will he just ride away after a strong leadout from Del Toro?

I personally think the best chance for UAE would be Pogacar and Del Toro being co-leaders, with them attack separately to fatigue MVDP, but I don't think that's the tactic they will use. Del Toro will be used to launch Pogacar, with the idea that this time it will go faster and longer than last year, and if Pogacar then launches, MVDP would break.

Which race are we talking about? The Mexican needs to prove he's above the competition in both.

I'm talking about SB.
Regarding MSR, I don't know of Del Toro has what it takes to decimate a peloton like Pogacar did on Cipressa. You can't use the numbers card against MVP in a big group IMO.

In case of SB I think they'll just do their default approach. Make the race hard and Pogacar attacks. Del Toro will have to play domestique too.

In case of MSR, I agree that you can't do numbers in a big group. That's why they still need to launch hard with UAE on Cipressa, so most riders will drop. Then Del Toro launches with Pogacar just sitting in the wheel of MVDP.
