- Tadej is not (still) the potential G.O.A.T. ... Stop stuttering...
He is THE G.O.A.T. - The Greatest Of All Time.
- Hey Jumpyjohn, this is how he should do it:
Pogi says "This year I want to do the Giro again, I just love this race and the Italians." He does the Giro, wins, and then goes to the Tour. He talks nothing about the Vuelta, if asked he says "No, I'm not doing the Vuelta, I will focus on the WC." After winning the Tour he never mentions the Vuelta. Pogi and his trainer see if Pogi is feeling good and strong, if he still has good legs, then they decide. If they think he can do it... LET'S GO, POGI IS DOING THE VUELTA. OMG!!! Pogi will say "I love the Spaniards!!!" Everyone is going crazy.
But if Pogi isn't feeling the best, no one says anything, he just won't go, skip the Vuelta, prepare for the WC and win it. It's a win-win situation.
- When it comes to winning a Giro d'Italia, Tour de France and Vuelta a Espana, Maurizio Fondriest is sending a warning to Pogačar!?!?
First of all, who is Fondriest to send "warnings"? Pogi doesn't know or care about him. Pogi and his trainers will be the ones to decide if he will take on all three GT's in one season. No one knows what will happen because it's never been tried before. I have the feeling that many former BS cyclists and commentators are smarter then Pogi and his team of cycling specialists.
- You're wrong, it's not too late. This is how it's done: Pogi says "This year I want to do the Giro again, I just love this race." He does the Giro, wins, and then goes to the Tour. He talks nothing about the Vuelta, if asked he says "No, I'm not doing the Vuelta, I will focus on the WC." After winning the Tour he never mentions the Vuelta. Pogi and his trainer see if Pogi is feeling good and strong, if he still has good legs, then they decide. If they think he can do it, LET'S GO, POGI IS DOING THE VUELTA. OMG!!! Everyone is going crazy. But if Pogi isn't feeling the best, no one says anything, he just won't go, skip the Vuelta and once again win the WC. Capish?
- yeah I was thinking the same - fairly audacious headline.
- So we have a cycling equivalent to the Penisgate storm in a teacup at the Ski Jumping event of this year's Winter Olympics!
- Tadej doesn't have to win the Vuelta with a lead of more than five minutes over the first runner-up.
This means he can ride leisurely, or rather, let it be his preparation for the World Championships.
In addition, Remco won San Sebastian just seven days after the Tour, the World Championships are 14 days after the Vuelta...
So the chances are not even close to 50/50.
- With all the possibilities that are never discussed and would create endless discussion as to whether it would be real doping, I will NEVER lay my hand in the fire to claim ANY rider is clean (especially having experienced something unexpected myself with over the counter medication as an amateur runner whilst sick).
People also seem to have very short memories about what has already happened and wasn’t detected (sometimes for decades) until a mistake or thoughtless act occurred or past material was reviewed.
It’s a sad fact that almost all those who want to deny the possibility there is doping, do almost ZERO research on the subject but then claim they know the facts.
I don’t believe he’s consciously doing anything but that doesn’t mean nothing is happening.
As for why he is so successful? He knows his forte and exploits it predictably. The sad thing is the others haven’t yet understood how to neutralise him but I won’t go into that unless someone else starts it off.
- That’s a lot of assumptions but the 3 in a row combination has also already been achieved, not sure that would be specifically desirable to Jonas but am sure Pogi would love to have been the first/only to get all 3 GTs, something Jonas would also maybe have aimed for had Pogi not existed.
Legacy is often the result of doing the right thing at the right time and for that you have to be born right.
Imagine if Bubka and Duplantis had been of the same generation?
- Was yesterday a snooze fest for you? One of the most interesting results ever in ALL of cycling.
