Teams & Riders Tadej Pogačar discussion thread

Cavendish went like 3-4 years basically getting beaten like once when launching the sprint in a good position in the TdF?

Cipollini is basically an aurafarming merchant and nothing more.

Look I don't think Cipollini wasn't even a great cyclist. He was heavily specialized, but as a sprinter he was unparalleled. Cavendish was also pumped. I'm quite convinced that his last TdF stage win was blatantly staged so that he could beat Merckx record.
I personally don't like pure sprinters at all. So I won't fight to convince you otherwise

If true, it’s not Pogacar who is the cannibal it’s Uae who are trying to win 15 tdf in a row

I still don't believe it. But if it's true, we won't see Seixas vs Pogacar in the future.

He was so superior to everyone else (Cipo) that once he was launched, not matter who was his wheel, his team mates would start celebrating, knowing there was no chance for his rivals to surpass him

Yeah, with the avail of a proper 'train', Cipo is probably Goat.
But, without one, Cavendish is superior.

Let's not get carried away.

I especially don't believe it now that Beppe Conti said it

The idea of uae is after pog wins his record breaking 6 tdf next year he will focus on other goals till his contract expires in 2030 which makes seixas the perfect replacement by then

I'm not sure Seixas will be weaker than Pogacar next year.

You're right. He's not only an aura farmer.

He's also a wife beater

Seixas will never reach the level of peak Pogi. The only time he will beat him will be when Pogi decides he is done.

You are too confident... Seixas is probably on Vingegaard's level already.

Too early to say.

But if Seixas is really joining UAE in 2028, then probably Pogacar already must have announced internally he would be leaving in 2028. They couldn't coexist for more than a year in the same team.

Yeah, the script writers were popping off having Cavendish ride through the whole peloton in order to win.

 

[Unchained]

If I was Pogacar I would seriously reconsider his schedule next year, this race doesn't have anything significantly challenging and he has been involved in field sprints for multiple days. He needs races with some terrain that reliably produces a selection and not races were dozens of riders are able to easily finish and contest sketchy bunch sprints..
