- Certainly one of the best. Hope denialists found something better to watchMistermaumau08-08-2026
- My prediction.. Pog will win 7 Tours, maybe 8 with the help of IDT. Then he'll work for IDT to win.Santiago08-08-2026
- Bravo RidesHills for your comment That is precisely why Jonas shoud retire. He has nothing to prove but has something to lose. He can't prove he can beat Pogi, but may start losing to Seixas, Del Toro or even Remco. Does he really need this sh**... I don't think so. PS: Jonas can be proud of his cycling career, it was exceptional, winning 4 GT (2X TdF) and most of the prestigious one week stage races.PogiSloFans08-08-2026
- Yeah, his name is Mou, I think. He's a fraud and has been banned over multiple sites. He's on X now, but the disgusting things he writes about Tadej and Urška doesn't make him a Pogi fan... He's disgusting.PogiSloFans08-08-2026
- Awsome! The best women race I've ever watched!averagecyclist08-08-2026
- It's so nice for Matteo Trentin to say these things about Pogačar, although they are not teammates anymore. Most cyclists and other people that know Tadej personally, say he's a nice and honest guy, he just doesn't know how to be a fake. It's something Pogi haters just don't understand.PogiSloFans08-08-2026
- Del Toro inevitably will be the focus for Mexican cycling. It's a given that he will bring out new talent. It happens all the time. Slovenia with Roglic and Pogacar is a good example Another classic example Is the Columbian Louis Herrera. Columbian cycling was nowhere till Herrera won King of the Mountains in the 1985 tour. He won a lot more than that but that was the defining win that brought Columbians into the world tour.Cyclingsbestfan08-08-2026
- Poor Demi. Fined 1000CHF for having a pee. It's not so easy for women as the men to relieve themselves.Cyclingsbestfan08-08-2026
- Good post!Cyclingsbestfan08-08-2026
- You think he is going to be allowed to challenge Pogacar for the gc in the tdf while Pog is still on his game? When Pog fades - yes that might be possible but not before.. Del Toro will improve but will never get to the top step while Pog is dominant.Cyclingsbestfan08-08-2026
