They should not have the motorbike that close in front of the riders... even 30-40m. Get a different camera angle20-07-2025 10:48

I'm exploring shorter cranks even in MTB because of limited hip mobility due to how my hips are. I haven't ridden them yet, but my experience with 170 over 175 is that 170 is a lot more comfortable in a low position. I bet that going even shorter is going to be really beneficial for me.26-06-2025 21:14

He should be pretty capable on technical terrain. His cyclocross bike handling skills are elite, and that is not easy. I do agree he needs some time back on his mtb, as it is a bit different, but if he focuses well on that xco title goal, he can reach it no doubt.27-03-2025 08:22

I fully support the way he rides. There are others who kinda ride intinctively also, but cycling is definetly not only about numbers like many obsess about. I would definetly obsess about numbers, but if the result doesn't match my effort, then I made the desisions at the wrong time and I'm still ot happy, even if my power record is the same. You see, 400w on the flats alone is a slower speed than 400w in a group, and thats again totally different than 400w on a climb. Yes,efforts matter, but position in the peloton might matter even more. Power gives an estimate of your race effort, and is one key in the bigger picture, so he rides for result and that's what should matter!16-02-2025 07:41

I think this is not the course that will stop Tadej. If you want to stop Tadej, you should put only pan flat stages with lots of bonus seconds, team time trials and pan flat and "plogue" style straight time trials, in it. This way there are no hills for advatages to be had on. Pure sprinting is one of Pogacars biggest weaknesses, yes he can sprint, but he will probably be outshined by better ones. Pan flat time trialing doesn't suit someone light; that's why Fillippo Gana beat him in that one time trial in the Giro. Yes Remco is the world champion, but he is crazy aero... Team time trials are another enemy for him if he doesn't have the best team. I guess the best way to beat Pogacar is to leave out any mountain stages and hilly time trials, and only make stages that cater to his weaknesses, but are perfect for the strengths of other riders.31-10-2024 11:23

@Mistermaumau If that is true, then I suspect MVDP to beat TP in a few years. I doubt Pogacar is hitting his max in 2-3 years. Yes it wil level off (it always does), it will just get harder to improve. Knowing how smart TP is, he rarely crashes, rarely has injury, rarely has setback to ny knowledge. That makes him so superhuman. I think no one will get close in 2-3 years if he can keep up like this.31-10-2024 08:28

Practically Pogacar won his first tour without a good team; he just had a superhuman good stage 20 time trial, and was in luck he wasn't further down behind Roglic. But you know, some years later Vingegaard comes along with a top team and beats Pogacar because he hasn't quite got that good of a team, bit still. Now this year was especially easy for Pogacar because he was in superhuman form and the rest was not quite; imagine Vingegaard without the crash: I think he could have beaten Pogacar again. Pocar is just improving every year so much that he is getting way to good for the rest. He is light and has high power output. That makes him a deadly force, because he will climb well and do well on the flats and time trials, and some sprints even.31-10-2024 08:20

Never count anyone out. It could be anyones race. Odds are never 0 if you are in the race.31-10-2024 08:16
