Teams & Riders Tadej Pogačar discussion thread

Messiah? Reign of terror? I'm not sure who to cheer for on Sunday

Ion Izagirre.

Will Teddy save cycling on Sunday?

Yes, seated pogenheimer will be delivered.
But Seixas will beat Memeco.

I think Seixas will not be dropped in la Redoute but will fade in RaF. In SB, he blew himself trying to follow Pogacar. For that reason he was caught by Del Toro 2 km after. The question is: Is Seixas the same rider he was 45 days ago?

Teddy will drop him on Redoute, he will dig really deep. Last year was easy mode.
However, if this guy survives Faucons i might change panties.

peleton level is crazy,whole top ten with better time than pog,lol. but sunday its gonna be different. thye will hit redoute with 500 and than pog goes 650.

This years tour hype is gonna be crazy.

Or last year's times are underrated due to the weather conditions.

That too but unless the 3 riders I mentioned are some of the best puncheurs in history, this year is overrated. Clearly we can't just look at the climbing time, but we knew that already

Mur de Huy is one of those times that doesn't matter. Gap differences are much more relevant and today Seixas did a very dominant performance. Excluding Pogacar, we need to go back to 2018 to see a difference of 3".

it's true but the level of competition today was one of the lowest I can remember for this race

The level was okay, however those main contenders underperformed a lot IMO.

Seixas is amazing and i love seeing another alien in the peloton. Still i think he is unlucky that he is in the same era as Pogi and not other way around. This and next year maybe he will win something against Pogi but not much. Also i don't believe he will be to close at TdF against Pogi nor Jonas. At the Basque i already had feeling, he would have problems with Lipowitz, if race would have been longer. Also let say he comes at the same level with Pogi, Tadej will still be stronger at finish on races like LBL, Lombardia. WCs after 2027 are not gonna be hilly. I am still 100%, Pogacar 3rd week at GTs are unterrated (the same goes for Jonas).

So Seixas said he is not in the same level of Pogacar. Interesting to know his true intention behind this answer.
