Tadej Pogacar and Mauro Giannetti

Bollox

8 disc wins. Only 6 rim.

The riders currently likely to podium are on rim brakes, and that will be purely to save weight. Two of those teams are using unbranded rims for the same reason.

Do we think those 3 riders wouldnt podium if they used discs? Of course not.

 

[IndianCyclist]

Both the Slovenians are completely ridiculous. On a completely different level compared to the rest of the pack.

Both the Slovenians were completely ridiculous at last years Vuelta as well when everything was normal. So difficult to interpret this year

 

[macbindle]

Is it just me, or does Pogačar look like he doesnt really need a team??

Probably wouldn't have lost 1:20 on Stage 7 if he had a decent team. But yeah he looks absolutely fine in the moutnains flying solo.

It's a shame he lost the time really. Would be interesting to see Roglic having to make up 40 seconds, and have to reveal how much he really has left in the tank.

Roglic morphed into Froome end of stage coming up to the finish line. Hilarious to see him suddenly spinning and pushing the shopping trolley over the line.

 

[GuntherL]

Nothing to see here.

Yes, his climbing style has really changed durning the last year.

High odds of full nuclear tomorrow

Happy to see I was wrong

 

[basque1]

He won the Tour de l'Avenir, but didn't record a stage win.
He also finished 7th at the WC road race.
Promising, but not exceptional.

bahhaahah yes those results are so unexceptional

I love how so many people online like to frame incredible results in a denigrating light through a lens of absurdly high standards in a matter-of-fact tone as if they’re just being objective.

 

[basque1]

No. He didn't do 6.8W/kg on Peyresourde. More like 6.47W.kg. Which for 24 minutes is within normal values.

Did he not do over 7W/kg on the Madeleine?

They're not exceptional compared to some of his peers and don't justify becoming the best climber in the world since joining Giannetti's team. If you want to somethin exceptional, look at Bernals first year at U23 or MvdP junior results. I don't even have to mention Evenepoels junior performances.

 

[Arked]

Did he not do over 7W/kg on the Madeleine?

On Madeleine? No. Very far from 7W/kg. Same as on Loze. Both climbs well below 6W/kg including decisive part of Loze.

 

[macbindle]

Bro rim rakes dominat the top 3 and this years TDF.

There are officially 2 speeds in the peleton.
Those on dentist disc brake bikes.
Those on rim brake GT winning rim brake bikes.

Here's Pavel Sivakov giving his view on the rim brakes he's using on Ineos bikes

Take a look at Pogacars time trials before he joined Giannetti. I'm sure his progress is all legit and natural.

 

[terribleone]

Tadej been given a Gianetti nuclear special last night...

 

[F_Cance]

Roglic cracked but Pogacars time is a ridiculous joke. Come on

 

[Bronstein]

Most alien performance since ...?

 

[Ripper]

LOL

Nothing to see here folks. I am quite sure there will be no comments on this thread at all. Just a natural talent

 

[Eclipse]

Chapeau. I don't know what they've done to the boy but that's one of the most outrageous rides I've watched in real time

Cycling is cleanz, no ski jumper is winning

[gmedina]

This is a joke right?

 

[Saint Unix]

Roglic actually rode a good TT. Pogacar rode an extra-terrestrial joke of a TT.

 

[Ripper]

I bet he does the climb quicker than Carapaz did and wins the dots as well
