So now Pogacar will change the script in 2025, winning too much creates enemies and envy. Who would ever have thought it? Can't wait to see domestique Pog next year, wink, wink. Read between the lines: Gianetti-Matxin: "We gotta tone it down a bit or you're screwed".

If it weren't so comical, it would be tragic.

Pogacar più ragioniere e meno cannibale: “Nel 2025 cambierò, vincere troppo provoca inimicizie e invidie”

Tadej Pogacar annuncia clamorosi cambiamenti per il 2025: dopo una stagione fatta di quasi una vittoria ogni due gare, lo sloveno pensa ai compagni di gruppo.

Teddy needs a spectacular loss to be loved by everyone again (except Van Baarle maybe). "I'm gone I'm dead" on Loze would do even if he wins MSR, Flandres, Liege, Lombardy, Vuelta and WC in 2025 :p

To discover any potential corruption between UAE and official sports bodies, the financial flows should be unmasked. I wonder what agreements are in place? They have a deep partnership. https://www.cyclingweekly.com/news/...ep-partnership-with-the-uae-for-years-to-come

I found this part of the January article pretty comical until I read Pog (and even ole Sagan) will actually be attending the UCI Esport World Championships in Abu Dhabi this weekend. Follow the money...

Plus two wildcards per gender, alludes Lappartient: "It would be interesting to see a rider like Tadej Pogacar compete against indoor specialists in the 2024 UCI Cycling Esports World Championships here in Abu Dhabi."

Pog and Sagan not on the start list - https://assets.ctfassets.net/761l7g.../24_CEWC_Final_Men___Women_Start_List__1_.pdf

So I guess they're just visiting the event to pose on social media, as these are the two most followed road cyclists. Otherwise people might never have heard about this event.

Yes, they'll just be attending and not competing... how did they drag Sagan away from running his resort in Slovakia? Money must have been good...

If you take a look at his instagram profile, you will see that he has become an Instagram influencer for low-level racing. So don't be surprised if he turns up at this Esport event, as drunken nights in Monaco don't pay for themselves.

I think it's mostly an internal issue, it's hard to keep so many stars motivated throughout the year if they know that they'll only be asked to do domestique duties. At some point they'll look elsewhere.

Ah, I don't follow any riders (or any celebrities) on social media because social media just isn't my thang, so I wasn't aware Sagan was involved in low-level races. I'd understand if he needed the money if his resort wasn't doing too well...

I would consider watching the Esport championship if Pog and Sagan were actually competing, I think it would be amusing. But seeing as they'll be there just for some photo ops I'll merrily skip it.

They will only look elsewhere if someone is willing to pay them more money. Mega-budget teams are supposed to prevent that from happening, until they can't do the job anymore and then nobody wants them anyway.

Sounds like UAE has Pog firmly by the balls and he's more than happy with it, do they expect him to produce seasons like this year's to repeat for another six years? Do they expect him to get even better? Does he think, with the aid of Gianetti, he can? Inquiring minds want to know!

Btw., I want my only halfway mutant Pogi back, I fear as long as he's with UAE and Gianetti this won't happen because he'll be a full-on mutant and then some! :sob:

If he is indeed the new Merckx, then yes, but in the modern sport of advanced doping no. You, to quote Jack Daniels, can't handle the Truth! Joker sardonic smile.

This is absolute bs for cycling in whole. Makes me sad for the state of the sport. UAE has UCI in their pocket too, the new sponsor deals only made it more clear. So the shitshow is propably just going to continue. Can't see who or how will they put a stop to this. Im still annoyed and baffled why are so many buying this Gianetti and petro dollars show.
Well was pleased for the comments and the amount of likes they got under that GCN white washing video, lol. More and more people are at least starting to ask questions and get annoyed about the state of affairs.

Only a full alien mutant Pogi can take on Jonas version 2.5.
