ScottG28-04-2025 - Tadej is rewriting the rules of the sport and how to win races.. he's unique, no doubt July will come and he'll be in his next form peak.slappers6628-04-2025
- Blueprint? Well if someone can outclimb him maybe. Visma seemed to have a good game back in the 2022 Tour when all the climbers attacked him. He's strong now and more experienced. There is only one guy at his level and I think he's a bit gun shy now. We'll have to see but I keep waiting to hear that Jonas is going to retire...awp28-04-2025
- I would tend to agree with Contador, but Tadej is different. I wonder the opposite for Jonas, but he's different as well. The Tour is a race between these two unless there is a crash.awp28-04-2025
- The space height level of Tp has to reduce at some point, cupla yrs back he some done some classics and suffered in the tour...
leedorney28-04-2025 - Some of these ex pro talk stupidly. Pogi has power numbers that no matter how many teammates you have one cannot match. San Remo and Roubaix, WC2024, Strade is the classic case. Nobody even with teamamtes was able the chase him. On top of that his teammates are also the strongest. They usually drop the support of other leaders.abstractengineer28-04-2025
- Healy and Ciccone are the best of the rest they deserve it in the podium. LTK are the strongest teams with Pogi's UAD.
