If not for Pogacar, we’d be marveling at Remco’s shocking solo victories and dominance in championship racing. Still an incredible rider.
Agree. Pogacar is clearly in a different league forget him. Imo it only discredits Remco , who on his own is honestly a very special rider from these showings. Just as thats true, Remco is equally in his own league here thats obv.Good race, and good end of the season. Pogacar was just better. He wanted more but should be happy with 2 gold medals, 2 silver medals and 2nd place at Lombardia.
I don’t think he should forget about it. What’s the point of racing if you don’t go for the biggest goals? He can ride a season like Del Toro, but that would get boring really soon.Agree.

Both the WC and EC were brilliant showings. Hope it continues, lets not forget hes also properly the best TT of all time and a very high level on these races too, thats unique too, Just cause Pogacar is Pogacar realistically doesnt make Remco bad at any levels, on the contrary when he performs like this. One doesnt equal the other. A very special rider overall on his own, great
I agree I probably worded myself poorly there or you misunderstood me. I didn’t mean he should forget it like that. What I meant is that he has every reason to be proud and optimistic. On his own, he’s performed brilliantly here, with every reason to feel confident moving forward. Losing to Pog at the moment is nothing to be ashamed of let’s be real and doesnt make him bad, its and incredible unfair bar to be judged vs. The way I see it, over these past two weeks, he’s been operating at a super high level. He’s been excellent on his own.I don’t think he should forget about it. What’s the point of racing if you don’t go for the biggest goals?

He has a target to work towards. Maybe he’ll never achieve it, but races are more fun if the likes of MVDP, and Evenepoel challenge Pogacar even if in the end Pogacar wins.
Same.That's the beauty of the ignore button bah. I don't see AmRacer posts anymore. And it's a thing of beauty.
The bad thing about ignoring someone is if they create a thread. You can't find that thread 😂.To be on others ignore list, can be rather funny. When I don't get an reply from some, then I can assume I'm on the ignore list.
But since there's no reply to my post, the discussion ends and others who don't have me on the ignore list can of course read my post. Some of them replying or like my post, but the one I replied to won't know a thing.

I've had to unmute some of them because of this.

You could argue Remco got better results than Pogi because of ITT's.2x Gold and 2x Silver at the Worlds and European Championships is very impressive and honestly a lot better than I expected after his DNF at the Tour. It's the most one could realistically hope for against an untouchable Pogacar.
Another podium at Lombardia looks well within reach but unfortunately the win looks even more out of reach against this Pogi (+ a full strength UAE team).
All in all, a great final part of this season and now we can only hope for an injury-free winter to possibly reach new heights next season with his new team.
That's what makes it even more boring, that UAE team is so strong. They'll just keep everything together, and let Pogacar do his thing. I hope championships are going more towards including other riders so that there is a more exciting dynamic when the likes of MVDP, WVA, Pedersen have a chance.Another podium at Lombardia looks well within reach but unfortunately the win looks even more out of reach against this Pogi (+ a full strength UAE team).
You could argue that but I'm not doing it. Are you?You could argue Remco got better results than Pogi because of ITT's.

Yeah, 1-2-1-2 is better than 4-1-DNS-1. Of course RR is more prestigious than ITT, but anyway...You could argue that but I'm not doing it. Are you?
how exactly would that work against Pog ?another great showing, but once again increidble stupid tactic from Belgium to make it hard and blow up the peloton early. It might be the best way to secure 2nd, but to win Remco need to be able to attack in a flat part from a bigger group.
It’s easier to surprise a rider (Pog) with an attack from a 30 man group than from a 2-5 man group.how exactly would that work against Pog ?
Pogi knows now he cannot let Remco go, so it won't work.It’s easier to surprise a rider (Pog) with an attack from a 30 man group than from a 2-5 man group.
Then if you attack on the flat and there are atleast a significant amount of kilometers (like atleast 5?) of flat road before the next climb it should be a good chance of Pogacar not going to the front and tow a big group, he would then probably wait until the hill before he attacks and starts the chase. Remco by a surprise attack can get 20-30s before the next climb he might have a shot.
Pogacar is so good that it might not work anyway, but atleast it would give a realistic possibility to win. If you make the race hard and the riders are man against man there are almost no chance to win.
If not Remco attacking on the flat or some false flat, others could have also attacked until someone gets away and Pog sits up.how exactly would that work against Pog ?
