UAE Tour 2025, February 17-23

[Salvarani]

This is so fun.

Very entertaining

 

[Peyroteo94]

Pog becomes annoying as hell

I hope this is sarcasm

 

[Berniece]

Exactly. There are legends that Merckx used to do same thing, but no one else. Pogi is just GOAT.

Yeah it's not like Van Eetvelt is also there, doing exactly the same

 

[Peyroteo94]

Yeah it's not like Van Eetvelt is also there, doing exactly the same

Yeah, Van Eetvelt would really do this without Pogacar. Jesus Christ...

 

[Rob5091]

I assume that's the sheikh driving along so maybe UAE were told to put on a show.

 

[Berniece]

Yeah, Van Eetvelt would really do this without Pogacar. Jesus Christ...

Yes he would. He literally already did this last year. Jesus Christ...

He said he does it to get enough training in.

Pog woke up this morning and decided to choose violence.

it was a decision of a split second. he was being brought to the front by Novak, who slowed down when they almost got to the front. Pog pushed him and nodded and Novak accelerated again. and they were gone

 

[Berniece]

He said he does it to get enough training in.

They both probably do it for that reason. But saying this is special because Pogacar does it, is just silly.

 

[Peyroteo94]

Yup, keep fool yourself. I will just enjoy the GOAT

 

[Rob5091]

Higuita a DNS on stage 5 today which hopefully is nothing serious. Vino needs those UCI points!

 

[Berniece]

Yup, keep fool yourself. I will just enjoy the GOAT

Ok then... Instead of just acknowledging that this isn't special in the UAE Tour, and that LVE literally also did it last year. You want to frame this as only "goat" people do this. No wonder people are getting tired of Pogacar. If the only rhetoric we have is to eat his ass.

 

[AupaPyama]

Too bad for Solution Tech and Bardiani; Pogacar even takes the sprint point battle away from them.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

One thing's for sure, Merckx never did something like this in the UAE Tour.

 

[Rob5091]

Regardless of why Pogi & Novak decided to go for a bit of fun, kudos to Lenny VE (and others) for following.

 

[Ilmaestro99]

@Ilmaestro99, mythical Monégasque man Victor Langellotti is about to save INEOS with a WT GC podium.

Ineos new that once he finally overcame his playstation addiction langelotti would be one of the biggest talents in the WT. What a signing!

 

[Tim Cahill]

Imagine winning the tour 3 times and still being this desperate for attention, truly the Elon musk of cycling.

 

[Tymek]

Yeah it's not like Van Eetvelt is also there, doing exactly the same

Van Eetvelt isn’t there, because he woke up and thought „I’ll go to the breakaway today”, Pog is.

 

[Tymek]

Imagine winning the tour 3 times and still being this desperate for attention, truly the Elon musk of cycling.

This is the difference between the GOAT and other riders. GOAT needs to have fun almost every day, the rest is just riding by looking into race book and PCS profiles.

Plugge.

 

[Salvarani]

Van Eetvelt isn’t there, because he woke up and thought „I’ll go to the breakaway today”, Pog is.

Yeah, he is there because he has ambition and following the race leader.

 

[repre]

Why? Pogi here, Pogi there, Pogi gets all attention. He is stealing shine from other riders, today he prevents the break from getting more time, riders from small teams from getting exposure they need.

I get that he is super good and GOAT of cycling, but no need to remind that to everybody even at sprint stages.

Also every race he enters he wins except from some classics and that makes races predictable and boring. So no, not everybody is fond of Pogi winning everything. I'm tired of this.

And this is the best thing about him.
He isn’t riding by unwritten rules, he sets them.

Pog gets TV time and double attention to the riders in the break, because otherwise people would be waiting for the last 5 kms to tune in. instead he gets air time for them all. and tweets, and posts, and exposure. like it or not

 

[Red Rick]

I think we have a chance here for the most blatant moto drafting in the history of the sport in the final 10km
