  Today is the day I stop following cycling. Goodbye to all the loyal Pogi fans in these 3 years. I never lied to you, never. I follow this sport exclusively because of Pogi and with today I close that chapter. When Pogi will start racing again then I'll be back.... next year. Adios!!! 🫡🫡

  Some fools on this site are saying when Pogi races, it's boring??? Common, stop the BS. His style is part of the phenomenon, part of his greatness. It's not all pure statistics. Pogi doesn't seem psychologically satisfied with winning by the smallest possible margin, he'll attack from ridiculously far out. He'll attack when conventional cycling logic says, don't do that yet. He'll race aggressively in the classics. He'll attack on mountain stages, and sometimes he'll make an enormous gap and turn a supposedly competitive race into a demonstration. That has made him enormously entertaining, not f**** boring, but also strategically interesting. He's not simply just powerful, but he seems to have an unusually good instinct for when the race is ready to break. I'm not talking about a 35-year-old at the end of an incredible career. Pogi was born in 1998, he's only 27, so get used to his "boring" racing. He's going to be around for a long time and there is nothing Pogi haters can do about it. Ad acta !!! Capish?

  Pogi will heal... Pogi will once again prevail and become even better. If we analyze his racing, he isn't beating mediocre riders in different disciplines. He's beating specialists: -Mathieu van der Poel is one of the greatest Classics riders of his generation. -Jonas Vingegaard is an exceptional Grand Tour climber. -Remco Evenepoel is an extraordinary time trialist and one-day racer. -Wout van Aert has enormous versatility. Yet Pogačar repeatedly enters their territory and says: "I can beat you here too." That's why he's the GOAT.

  At first I was shocked, but now my disappointment isn’t that big. In fact, it’s a blessing in disguise that Pogi wasn’t injured even more seriously. The surgery was successful, Tadej is positive, and he’ll come back even stronger next year... 100%. No cyclist is as mentally strong as Pogi. Tadej knows exactly why he is the best cyclist in the world, how he got there, and what he needs to do to become even better. Tadej is regarded as the best cyclist in the world because, through his racing style, mindset, and results, he embodies everything that existed during cycling’s golden era, while at the same time pushing the boundaries of modern sport. He isn’t just a specialist in one area; he is the most versatile and dominant cyclist of the modern era.

  Hopefully there will be. With the statement mentioning ongoing neurological checks, it sounds like his concussion is more serious than team management had expected.

  This announcement is hardly surprising. Now is the time for proper healing and recovery. There will be plenty of opportunity for Tadej to continue on his winning ways next season.

  Can't see nothing wrong with that

  It’s totally obvious it’s not about collecting money, why are people even discussing that? At its base it’s extremely simple, any group of people need guidelines to function or each will do as he thinks best. All groups have rights and responsibility towards others, everything is taking place in the public sphere, neither the riders/organisers/UCI own the infrastructure so they have to respect and use it according to the given guidelines. Let’s start with a really easy one, litter. What happens if you let riders throw everything away (without e.g. electronic tags to find it back) along a 200km stretch of road?

  So are you implying if nobody was checking or fining riders, they would do a better job of security and safety left to sort it out by themselves? They’d still be riding around without helmets, minus a few that would have died in crashes. Yes, more can and has to be done, no it will never be perfect, just like you cannot make traffic function perfectly but the stricter and more seriously you take it, the safer it gets. In countries with a very strict zero tolerance to driving with alcohol or drugs, you immediately notice how the public adapts, similarly in countries with a heavy fine for speeding (% of income). Without the strictness, more people go towards pushing limits or move towards copying those that do, it’s in our nature.

  Huh? You come out with that just after the Maeve Plouffe incident???? No better than most places. You also obviously didn’t get why I used examples of things you’re not going to be able to tackle but CAN happen anyway. Terrorists also get past police often enough when they’re determined.
