    Amazing feats, and I want to fully appreciate them, but I love watching hard fought races between close rivals, and that's just not happening when he's on the start sheet.

    There is no longer terrestrial coverage where I live and... well Pog doesn't make it worth finding a stream.

    Tadej tedious surely.


    I still find it entertaining to watch, it will only be a matter of time before someone, or more than one person comes up to his level I reckon.

    A theoretical strategy. Two strong riders could let him go on one of his solo breakaways then work together to catch him while he is tiring himself out trying to stay in front. Requires the two to genuinely work together though.

    The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.
    I am not sure. You have no chance.

    Given everything we've seen of what the rest of the contenders do after Pog rides off I suspect that will remain a theoretical strategy

    When they get closer one of them will skip a turn to recover his legs for the future attack on Pogacar and his companion. The other one will get pissed and either stop riding or attack and the cohesion is done. They lose all the time they made back up on Pogacar and group 2 syndrome wins again.

    Would need two from the same team. Maybe that’s one if Pidcock goes to VLAB and rides with Wout.

    Feels like they could already do that with riders like Jorgensen and Laporte.

    Napoleon, don't be jealous that I've been chatting online with babes all day. Besides, we both know that I'm training to be a cage fighter.

    Not really his fault. just does what he does. remember when froome went in the Giro? Nobody worked together to bring him back. think it was a group of 5 and 2 of them sat on. if they want to gift Pog the race he and the team will take it.

    Well back to the drawing board for everyone. I suspect this will be pogs greatest season ...mind blowing if it is bettered
