- This is why he will leave too.
- The kid who wanted to win at all costs in 2022, while being (we have now learned) a bit sloppy in his preparation, has turned into a master (and monster) of calculation and restraint until more is needed. Back in 2022, he was riding high on his amazing 2021, but then had his cake eaten by so many others. That's the year Evenepoel did so well (for those who somehow forget what his reputation is based on - worlds, grand tour, and a monument in a single season, an amazing combination that Pogačar hit in 2024, but the previous person was Hinault in 1980). Since 2022, Pogačar has risen and risen, a solid 2023, a miraculous 2024, a matching (but slightly different) 2025, and now he's won 9 of his last 11 races, going back to last season. He's showing restraint and (as mjj said) smarts. It's a more subtle killer instinct, a little terrifying if you think about how he's holding on to his power for longer.
- Clown!
- Yeah I like that idea. Maybe he can be their Wout. A luxury domestique who can nick off for stage wins
- This MOUSE clown can't help herself!
- And the MOUSE roars...YAWN !
- Mou(se) clown just can't help himself!
- JV will have zero competition. Another boring Giro coming up. Unlike last year.
- Tirol vs Swabia. Wouldn't be a tough choice for me. Even if it made me a "traitor'
- Lipo didn't really lose anything. Going all out - he'd likely be second behind Pogi in GC. Dodging the wind behind others - still second on GC.
It also matters little if he is on Pogi's blacklist. Lipo is a GC rider. Pogi's never going to let another GC rider (blacklist or not) beat him in a stage if he can do anything about it. The last time Pogi lost time to a GC rival was the first ITT in the tour last year (RE), and before that Stage 11 in 2024 (JV)
