Given the course, and the fact that Pog is likely to participatein all 4 of them, I can't see him winning one of them.At least he's motivated, would be good to see him take at least 1 decent win the rest of the season. WC ITT, WC RR, UEC RR or Lombardia.
Roglic is 36, and MVDP is 30. Evenepoel is 25.But he isn’t near Pog or vdp or Roglic yet, how many generational talents is allowed?
As I said, in time trials yes he is. He probably will be overall by the time his career finishes. Not yet. As a junior yes , great.
Ok then Pog and Mvdp are still there if we discount Roglic.Roglic is 36, and MVDP is 30. Evenepoel is 25.
pog never mentioned doing the euros iircGiven the course, and the fact that Pog is likely to participatein all 4 of them, I can't see him winning one of them.
It's not a pure engine. It's also position, awareness, rhythm, focus...Maybe in time trialling, I think as a pure engine we can say he is a generational talent. But that’s all.
Remco is a pure engine in that, he is best on a time trial bike in the world, and not very big, good on smaller climbs, with his talent in the race of truth he should arguably be better in other races but he isn’t. That’s all I meant by ‘pure engine’It's not a pure engine. It's also position, awareness, rhythm, focus...
Racing up a climb is much more "pure engine". It's sustained engine power per kg weight.
I meant it more as in Evenepoel is still much younger and already an amazing palmares.Ok then Pog and Mvdp are still there if we discount Roglic.
Remco isn't much younger than Pogi, who has 🐐 palmares.I meant it more as in Evenepoel is still much younger and already an amazing palmares.
Well yes, but if we judge anyone against Pogi they look a bit ***, so it's a pointless comparison! Remco still has an excellent palmares for his age, Pogacar doesn't change that.Remco isn't much younger than Pogi, who has 🐐 palmares.
How about Mathieu then?Well yes, but if we judge anyone against Pogi they look a bit ***, so it's a pointless comparison! Remco still has an excellent palmares for his age, Pogacar doesn't change that.
I don't think it's likely at all that Pog will participate at the European Championships.Given the course, and the fact that Pog is likely to participatein all 4 of them, I can't see him winning one of them.
It's an article with Stijn Steels, not Tom Steels.Article with Tom Steels about Gigante training on her descending skills. Apparently she got training from Cal Crutchlow, while Evenepoel just focusses more on technique during training...

Thanks for correcting me, I read too quicklyIt's an article with Stijn Steels, not Tom Steels.
Also, the small part about Evenepoel aren't direct quotes from Steels so it could just be the journalist/newspaper writing that stuff without double checking.
No problem.Thanks for correcting me, I read too quickly
Pog is doing euros RR.pog never mentioned doing the euros iirc
No problem.
I think the article offers no new insights or interesting stuff on Remco, apart from the fact that Cal Crutchlow is apparently still in the picture for descending skills training (at least for the women's team).
In the (now increasingly unlikely) scenario that Remco stays at SQS I hope they take a page out of the women's team notebook and make Remco work with Crutchlow this winter as well.
I can somewhat understand it wasn't a priority in the past few injury filled seasons with all the rehab that had to be done but if he has a 'normal' winter there really is no excuse to not work on his (weak or at most average) descending/cornering skills even if it's obviously not as big a problem as for Gigante.
That's a surprise to me. When/where has he confirmed that?Pog is doing euros RR.
6 races aren't so much.That's a surprise to me. When/where has he confirmed that?
So over a few weeks time he will race the GP's in Canada, Worlds ITT and RR in Rwanda, ECC RR in France and Lombardia in Italy (+ maybe other Italian fall classics?)? Seems a heavy schedule to me but then again, it's Pog...
That's why I added the countries. It's 5 hard one day races + 1 ITT which probably requires at least some specific prep + a whole lot of travelling in between.6 races aren't so much.
6 races in 4-5 weeks. That's fine. There is even a full week between Canada and WC RR. Don't think the travel will get to him.That's a surprise to me. When/where has he confirmed that?

Maybe not but I still wouldn't like to see such a schedule if it were Remco.6 races in 4-5 weeks. That's fine. There is even a full week between Canada and WC RR. Don't think the travel will get to him.
