- OK that's stretching it
- Already Jonas has shown his now inability to climb for 3 weeks strong. At the TDF last year the only reason he stayed near Pogi was because Pogi was sick the last week. Yet he still couldn't catch him. I betting he finishes off the podium if everyone shows up in good to great form
- Oh.... a jab at someone in the forum :) Yeah, I'll be surprised if it was indeed 10% more power.
He is at the prime of his youth and there shouldn't be any dramatic jump in performance unless his coach and training massively screwed up previously.
- You have to distinguish between climbing ability and potential vs consistency over 3 weeks. Can Seixas out perform Jonas for that long?
- The road will tell. Fast finishes have never been his forte. In the past if he arrives at the finish with Pogi, then Pogi wins the stage. That has been true all along with maybe only one notable exception
- Paul Seixas can out perform Jonas right now. Not even a question. Jonas Vingegaard will be lucky to be on the podium in Paris. I don’t know if it was his crash, his wife's remarks or he is just declining at 29. I have watched every single race he has been in since turning pro. And at one point he was very good, not great but very good. He used his brain and abilities to the top of the sport. Now, if you look at the riding, many times he looks unsure of things, his ability to accelerate is not close to riders like Pogi, Lipowitz, Del Torro and other riders. He is not the best rider on his team. I have been hearing that he will be co-leader at the TDF. I don’t know who option "B" or "1B" is. But that says a lot. Paul Seixas is probably the best to challenge Pogi in the next few years. And if he leaves UAE, Del Torro as well.
- Something's smelling festina about all this
- Oh please, next we’ll be accusing buddhist and Hindus and who knows who else of antisemitism because they’ve had Swastikas for sometimes millennia.
- The numbers are fishy, people throw them around carelessly without context, it’s like a friend of a friend revealing Pogi is at 85%.
No-one is going to convince me of anything without methodology, especially when 85% then logically translates into a 40W improvement on previous incredible condition.
Depending on which weights you use (and for anything to be meaningful data wise we’d have to have pre-race weigh-ins line in boxing) the two then have the same W/Kg. To be fair, Seixas should thus get to ride a 10% lighter bike but his is probably heavier due to his height.
- I thought you were an atheist, what’s all this love thy neighbour crap? I became a fan of Rogliç when Pogi came along ;-)
Hope your 6th sense is right, obviously it doesn’t get much training as a Pogi fan.
