You said riders will avoid him like the plague, please tell me which races of Pogacar's schedule won't have one of the big 6. As far as I can tell only UAE Tour, which is more of a obligated sponsor tour for Pogacar.

1 or 2 of the 5 not so big will face Pogi in some races.

Expect whoever it is to feast and put weight on P/N, Tirreno, Basque, Giro etc whatever race and whoever rider put more weight on it than before not talking about top 6 particular their schedule is ''sorta'' fixed anyway, to some lesser degree at least, its some races the top people obvious cant avoid goes without saying, doesnt mean maybe more ppl think more about the Giro today tho..

You dont need to be a rocket scientist to figure out going to a race Pogacar is not riding to be lucrative after last year, do you further need me to explain that?
Hence the law of the jungle, its the apex predator then everyone else falls in line from that. Very sensitive we was today.

I like the way the three sidekicks seem have been announced as all leading the team at a grand tour, unless Pog is only going to race the tour it's a just a load of puffing smoke. No one is kidding anyone unless the great one is going to ride in a support role.

Who is thinking more about the Giro? Roglic, Evenepoel, Vingegaard all said beforehand they were already thinking about it. Do you think they will only meet in the TDF, and no one is riding the Vuelta with him?

Everyone of them will ride TdF, and those who ride the Giro won't ride the Vuelta. They are no GC Kuss.

I suspect a fifth Vuelta (to get the standalone #1) is a higher priority for Roglic than the Giro. I'd expect Jonas to go Tour-Vuelta as well to allow Yates to chase the Giro which he'd go in as a podium favourite and probably equal overall favourite to win alongside Hindley if Roglic/Remco don't race it. For me from the big 4 teams:

Giro/Tour: Remco, Yates x2 (domestique for Tour)
Giro/Vuelta: Hindley, Ayuso (both domestiques for Vuelta)
Tour/Vuelta: Pogi, Roglic, Vingegaard, Kuss (dom), Landa (Dom at Tour)

As far as the others go, I'm expecting something like:

Jonas: O Gran Camino, Paris-Nice, Itzulia, Dauphine, Tour, Vuelta
Roglic: Paris-Nice, Catalunya, Romandie, Suisse, Tour, Vuelta, Lombardia, Worlds
Remco: Tirreno, Catalunya, Ardennes, Giro, Tour, San Sebastian, Lombardia, Worlds

So Jonas/Roglic meet at PN, Tour, Vuelta
Jonas/Remco meet at Tour and that's it
Roglic/Remco meet at Catalunya, Tour, Lombardia and Worlds

Journalist: Is the Giro possible with such a spring schedule?

Pogacar: It also depends on who else is going to the Giro. With the classics, you have to look at numbers, strength, weight differently. With the classics, it is difficult to prepare for the Giro at altitude, but it can still be combined with good form.

He is just trolling. It is obvious he is trying to mess with his rivals.

So no confirmation about Giro/Vuelta from Pogi for now, feels more like Giro won't be part of his schedule in the 2025 season. Remco, due to the crash, likely not doing Giro in the 2025 season. So Rogla and/or Jonas it is then. Beating Jonas at the Giro, Pogi at the Tour ... Sounds like a good plan.

With his schedule, he won't race the Giro. He will decide whether to race the Vuelta after the Tour.

AFAIK they said they will first wait for the routes to be revealed and similar and didn't say Pogi isn't doing Giro. That i guess was fan assumption. Ayuso for example said it doesn't change much for him if Pogi will do or won't do Giro. So in the end it's not a done deal.

Pogi's race programme is far from optimal for a Giro Tour double.
