Teams & Riders Tadej Pogačar discussion thread

I don't have any doubt they can pull for 4 hours. The question is: How hard can they pull? Wellens in the climbs is not looking good so they can put the tempo until la Redoute but probably the race will be soft or not tough enough.

I agree with that and I'm not expecting a race to be super hard if only UAE sets the tempo, especially with the headwind in the 2nd half

Dropping his girlfriend might not be a good idea.

This is too much: Pogi dropping Urshka, who will now recall him riding with Pauline on his bike frame (women have too good memory!). This is nail in the coffin for Pogi. JV played it well, tactically and strategically they make UAE look like amateurs.

Is there any chance he attacks before la Redoute? Specially when we look to his team and the lack of firepower for the hills.

I would like to think so. Not necessarily invoked by him, but like AGR 2024 when Alaphilippe attacked. Would be nice if Vauqelin/Skjelmose/Martinez/other try to go early if UAE is weaker. And that the favourites follow.
