- Ride with your heart lad, not your wallet….become a folk hero, not a puppet
- The UAE is getting bashed up... both the country by Iran and the team by crashes
- SEIXASS TO UAE!!! WHY? BECAUSE:
1) Seixass will become a much better cyclist under the coach Javier Sola. Sola "made a new Pogi" from 2024 on. Today he's already the GOAT.
2) Seixass will help Pogi win the Tour in 2027 so he will have 6 Tour wins-the record. From here on Pogi will not be interested in the Tour anymore and Seixass can take over. Pogi will be riding only classics.
3) Seixass can make a lot of money with UAE. The Arab Sheikhs still have a lot of oil.
4) Seixass will be Pogi's successor and will become a mega cycling star... almost like Pogi the G.O.A.T.
- My analysis: If we look among all the greats for a cyclist who didn’t skip a single race across ten consecutive Monuments, the next cyclist is Sean Kelly, who between 1985 and 1987 finished all 10 races, but won only 3X. Three times he wasn't even on the podium... 3X he was second and 1X third. 7X on the podium.
So when we also take into account that Pogačar didn’t skip any races from 2024 to 2026 and took on every type of terrain, his streak is something entirely different.... 7 wins, 2X second and 1X third. 10X on the podium!!!
No other cyclist, not even Merckx, came close. This is just one of the reasons Pogi is the G.O.A.T.

- Pogi is currently truly at a level that’s hard to even compare with others. Every season, it feels like he pushes the boundaries of what’s even possible in cycling. What fascinates me most about him is that he doesn’t choose the “easier paths” — he races all types of events and can win almost anywhere. That’s why I think it’s only a matter of time before he adds Paris-Roubaix, even though that race still comes with a lot of unknowns and risks.
If Remco ever really lines up at the start of Roubaix, it will likely become one of the most exciting rivalries of the coming years, because both have the ability to decide races in completely different ways. At the same time, a new generation is coming up — riders like Seixas will quickly want to show they are not just “spectators of Pogi’s era.”
What’s most interesting in all of this is that Pogačar is actually changing the mentality of the peloton — younger riders are no longer thinking narrowly, but more broadly, because they see that it’s actually possible.
As for me, he’s already surprised me several times this year, even in races where I thought winning would be harder — and time and again, he finds a way. That's why he's the G.O.A.T.
In the end, I just hope this level of racing continues and that we get as many exciting moments as possible, without unnecessary crashes and injuries.
Thank you, Tadej!
- Exactly. Americans live in their own bubble, apart from the rest of the world. They think different, they act different, they think that their life is the only life.
- The former American professional cyclist knows nothing. Hey American Tom Danielson, go and read what Javier Ares said: “Pogacar had no other option… driven by his courage, his energy, his bravery… he has no other way to win this race. Pogacar was left forcing a race that was never fully designed for him."
But Pogi will be back, even stronger.
- but you, who's right 90% of the time, with a lot of inside information from UAE team, you do know that Roubaix is in France though, right? or did UAE forget to tell you?
- Flat Course...everything else is Pogi's playground, you stick a climb in there bigger than an autoroute overpass its a no brainer
