Inference is basically that Pog was basically at Vingegaard level for last 5 years without a processional coach so there is headroom for huge improvement and we’re seeing that this season for the first time

How convenient, one might say. But how likely is it that a rider like Pog could have avoided a coach for so long?

You would have thought with Gianetti's almost 40 years experience, he would have thought of getting his star a decent coach sooner?

On the internet . Must be true

So the credibility is really around his remarkably accurate performance predictions.
as in, absolutely bang on.

But flipping it the other way, to have been that bad relative to potential beforehand, he must have been training (when not gaining physiological improvements from racing itself) in a way that made the latter-day Elvis Presley look like a role model for clean living.

That is what Mou was saying before he whipped out the on the money stats.
And if you listen to the Pog interview he does say that he never trained specifically for climbs more than 10 minutes before.

Much as I like Pog, both as a rider and as a person (based on interviews only) I shall remain cynical. If it sounds too good to be true...

Pogacar had a coach before, Inigo San Milan, but he did it alongside his day job as a researcher at the University of Colorado.

Yeah, it all sounds a bit fanciful. I would be interested to hear the riders opinion in the peloton, who eat, sleep, train, repeat?

Like I said in the rest day thread, it's believable because it's cycling. It's not that long ago that it was the hotel's own chef that prepared the team meals, you slept on whatever bedding was provided by the hotel and if there was no aircon then you sweated all night. You didn't warm down on rollers after the stage and you didn't have a shower or an espresso machine on the team bus!

Oh if it's even half true then it's bad news for anyone that wants to win a bike race on any terrain.

Thank you British Cycling and Team Sky.

There's actually been a bit of a buzz around Inigo San Millan's training philosophy for a few years because of his association with Pogacar.
I suppose it's possible that it's not so much that the San Millan philosophy isn't good but that it's provided a good base or just that after a while a change in training stimulus is needed to provide increased performance ?
