Can’t stay on the sauce forever..
He is too young to crack. He is just worried about getting caught. I won't say too much. I will just say that he is the new Armstrong.
the new reactos front end looks similar to remcos tt bike tbh
Guys, this one is a bit of clickbait speculation on Pogi's future plans. You usually put out great content but please dontt chase the clicks and wacher numbers by throwing actual news and facts out the window.
Lowering thier prices would be nice
I'm not sure how much more there is to gain with making a full on aero bike from Specialized. If we assume Tour magazine is the testing standard, the mountain of bikes in the low 200s (watts) is huge, you aren't going to go wrong with any of these top level bikes. Even the S5 isn't THAT much of an outlier compared to an SL8 or an Ostro.
I watched this year’s Tour from America, enjoying the French scenery and the emergence of young riders, but not the GC race. I hated that Tadej raced not to lose. I think the loss of Almeida weakened the team, warranting a more conservative strategy, but conservative Tadej isn’t the guy I love. I wondered whether he was sick, exhausted, or just bored. But clearly he wasn’t enjoying this Tour de France.
This Tadej narrative is all marketing. Instead of spending the next 6 months answering questions about whether he’s too dominant, whether he’s bad for the sport, etc, this completely shifts the discussion to whether we need to appreciate him while we still have him. And, yeah, keeps him in the news while he skips La Vuelta to prep for worlds.
Marketing 101 guys.
I just got a great job recently. I am 25 and planned to retired before 60. I think I just cracked. 😮😮😮😮
Has poggi done to much drugs?
You cracked in your head.🤡
I think he's just fed up with the UCI's nonsense. Most riders would like to say it but he actually has the power.
Very old news about pogacar…
From Italy: Alejandro Valverde e Annemiek van Vleuten they retired at 40 and won a lot from the age of 30 onwards, while Pogačar wants to retire at 28. Something doesn't add up and makes me suspicious.
doped to the gills
As usual what a load of bllx
Too much ado about just nothing. We will enjoy Tadej's greatest for many years to come. ✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️
Like humpty dumpty
More like Cycling Weekly has cracked. Pogacar just won the Tour de France again.
He's was tired and bored. He littelerly gave 3 stages away at the TDF. He's not burned out, but realistic as to how hard being "The Great Pogacar" is, even to Pogacar. But he'll honor his contract so he and Urska can go live a great life with their kids to come.. 3:47
Give the guy a break, and find some new content.
You can upgrade the SWORKS VENGE to death, make it way lighter & more aero like I did on mine 6,4kg: https://youtu.be/beQwFjw21QQ?si=Hf4slNVBqxLZS0Oe
Inevitabilmente si cede presto in certe condizioni, esasperare le prestazioni significa sempre accorciarle!
Can't remember the last time a rider competing for GC in a Grand Tour took part in all three in one season.
You guys are out of your minds
I think pogo is juicing. I also believe that he knows that they are on to him.
Has Pogacar cracked? What a mean negative headline/comment. Maybe he just needs a bit of a break. How many riders over the time period 1980-2025 have won multiple monuments AND Grand Tours over multiple years? As I can see Tadej is the only one. Ahhh,,,Eddy Merckx. Yes Eddy is the only other one who won classics and grand tours in the same year over multiple years. Grag Lemond, an amazing TDF rider. Bernard Hinault, another amazing TDF rider. Sean Kelly, Tom Booneen, Tom Steels…. many more great one-day classics riders. So maybe Tadej is on a break and looking out 3-5 years and sees an exit strategy WHILE out on top. In any sport, one of the saddest things is to see a former champion stick around a bit too long. Appreciate Todej for his skill and flair today.
Pogacar will win 5 TDF and no more than that hes not a pig cool guy .
I keep saying ovalized suspension forks will be a thing.
Were getting so close I can taste it!
Though now i can envision more of a cylinder with aero reservoirs around the cylinder. Maybe a thin titanium cylinder with a carbon housing?
ボッタスモデルは気になる
来年は是非復活して欲しい
Probably just tired and enjoying the holiday.
He hasn't. He plays mind games with his team bosses. Pog is mentally stronger than anyone in the peloton, he knows exactly what he is doing.
Loved my 2020 Sworks venge from 2019. I'm just hoping we could get a modernised version loved that bike so much I almost bought two. Even my superhighway gen 7 madone couldn't compare. Loved that bike so much
Cracked seems harsh. There has never been a rider to achieve so much so quickly at such a level.
Merckx was a legend as Tadej is. Different times. Both will go down in history.
Click bait
