- No bike is going to be close to his fitted bike. But better wheels for cobbles is a must.
- Islam your kidding...
- Xx
- I'm assuming he means the head tube angle was slacker than he's used to. but in that case a wheel barrow should have handled better on the cobbles than his colanago did lol. he was slipping all over the place, almost ran into wout a few times. what a sore loser he and his team are.
- seriously, his team car blocked the back 1/2 of the peloton for over a minute according to some of the riders.
- I think Pogačar can definitely break the record of 19 monuments, and probably before he's 30. But he's got 4 Giri, 1 Tour and 1 Vuelta to match Merckx there. He can probably do the latter two this year.
If I were Pogačar, I would win the 2026 Tour and Vuelta, then do the same for the 2027 Giro and Vuelta. After that, no more Tours and just the Giro-Vuelta double every year thereafter. Should he win every grand tour he tries like that, he can be the outright record holder for all three Grand Tours by 2031 (when he'll be 32/33). I don't expect him to win them all, and doing that program every year is very strenous, but I think it is possible for him to achieve that before he retires (assuming he retires at 36)
- It’s an emergency, it’s optional AND, it’s the same for EVERYONE, zero point in mention in it.
- Yes, always surprised on the roads when getting overtaken that the turbulence and pull at a distance is so much more noticeable than from a car.
- Extremely one-dimensional attitude, start an oil company maybe.
- 7 years into their pro careers, Merckx and Pogačar are tied with 10 monuments, 2 world championships, and 5 grand tours.
In years 8 to 10, Merckx won 5 more Monuments and 6 more grand tours. In year 8, Pogačar could well end up with 4 monuments, a world championship, and another grand tour. How he does these next 3 years will allow for a better numerical comparison with Merckx, in other words. But we still have to wait for his full career to unfold before we make a true comparison.
