This is Why Tadej Pogacar might become the G.O.A.T. | ‘Physiological freak’ and master tactician
Tadej Pogacar | ‘Physiological freak’ and master tactician with serene calmness.
From the perspective of his parents, team manager and coach. They describe Tadej Pogacar is a physiological marvel, master tactician and supremely calm in every situation.
It is these three attributes that make Tadej such a supremely talented bike rider, able to dominate on the world stage.
Early life
Tadej was born, 1998 in Slovenia. His mother a Teacher and Father a factory manager.
Pogacar and is brother as children were very good at unicycling, Tadej’s mother said. “Like clowns in the circus. They were famous around here, many people watched and admired when they came by.”
These unicycles were stolen, marking the end of unicycling for the Pogacar brothers, and the beginning of life on two wheels.
Cycling and racing passion begins
When he was 11 and racing against 14-year-olds, national coach Andrej Hauptman, a former pro who rode for Italian teams Lampre and Fassa Bortolo, turned up to watch one of his races.
He was concerned to see a small boy riding alone half a lap behind the peloton. He asked why the organisers didn’t ‘put him out of his misery’ and withdraw him.
‘He’s not half a lap down, he’s half a lap up,’ Hauptman was told. Within another lap or so Pogačar had lapped the bunch.
He would then go on to win Tour de l’Avenir,(‘race of the future’) one of the sport’s most prestigious under-23 races.
In 2017, aged 21, he was fifth in the Tour of Slovenia behind Rafal Majka, Giovanni Visconti, Jack Haig and Gregor Mühlberger. A year later he was back to place fourth behind Roglič, Rigoberto Urán and Matej Mohorič.
Signs with UAE
UAE-Team Emirates showed their interest early, tracking Pogačar for more than a year. There were also links through Hauptman. he had raced for the team in the early Noughties, when it was sponsored by Lampre, and talented Slovenians Luka Pibernik and Jan Polanc turned pro there from his Radenska team. Pogačar also signed up with Hauptman’s former agent, Alex Carera, who has worked with champions like Chris Froome, Thor Hushovd and Vincenzo Nibali.
Professional debut
As is indicative of his career so far. Andrej Hauptman, was once asked about the big challenges Pogačar has faced, about his struggles. He’s never had one,” he replies. Nothing? No crashes? “Never a problem. Always alert, focused, in the right place at the right time.
Pogacar lost his passport on the day the team was to depart Australia after the TDU, which just so happened to be independence day, a national public holiday. Tadej didn’t panic however remarked Team manager Peiper: “I saw how relaxed he was under pressure and I think that's one of his strongest traits.”
As the 2019 season progressed, it became clear that he had a gift for stage racing to go with this preternatural calm. His contract was redrafted after he won the Tour of the Algarve. It was followed by sixth place in the Tour of the Basque Country and a first World Tour victory in California.
Pogacar Physiology
Pogacars trainer Iñigo San Millán described the Slovenian as a “diamond that needed to be polished,” when he arrived at the team. “From testing, his recovery capacity on a muscular and mitochondrial level was judged to be exceptional. Blood analysis shows he’s ready to race hard again after a few days, when peers are still exhausted.”
Such capacities are part-trainable, part-genetic. His parents were asked where they think Tadej’s physical and mental abilities come from, his mother Marjeta refers to his grandparents, lifelong farmers who did football and gymnastics in their youth. The whole Pogačar family helps out in the fields when required. With no machines, it’s long hours of manual labour, harvesting tons of potatoes or caring for their cows. “I think it’s important. The children saw that you have to work to have a result,” Marjeta says.
In an interview with Iñigo San Millán and training peaks, Iñigo revealed that on the “first physiological test I realised that this guy was from a whole different level.”
Tadej starts off his test at much lower lactate levels than anyone else Inigo has tested. “He starts tests at 0.7, 0.8, 0.9, 1, 1.1, 1.2 minimals, they are at 3 minimals. By the time he’s at 3 minimals they are at 6 minimals. He will be well below threshold when they are above threshold.”
“His suffering capacity is huge. His head is calm, relaxed. He never gets nervous. His a master tactician.” In the tour of California he wanted to know who his enemies were for the next days mount baldy stage. He told Iñigo “I wanted to see how they were breathing, look at their faces. I realised that there is no threat here for tomorrow, that he only had to worry about the two riders who attacked on todays stage.” Having that mental capability under pressure at such a young age is showing maturity far in excess of other riders his age, another factor in how Pogacar is able to win the worlds biggest bike races.

WVA is a Sensational Bike Rider . Unfortunately due 2 his size & weight there is just no way he can win the TdeF . Stages Wins 🏆 he has . He is more of a One Day Classics Racer , Perhaps a Week Stage Race 🏁 with a whole lot of luck . TT winner 🏆 & World Champion Road Race 🏁 Winner is all possible. With Tadej , Jonnas & possibly the little Belgium 🇧🇪 Rocket 🚀 he just hasn't got the chance . I have a young guy in my country town putting out HUGE Watts @ 17 yrs old here in Australia 1770 Peak Watts . He just averaged 306 Watts over 155 ks against 26,27,28 & 29 yr olds and stayed with them , doing his turns . Could he potentially ride the TdeF , yes . Could he Win .. No . He's 6.4ft & 80 kilos . U can't compete against 60 kilo riders . There like Jack Rabbits up Climbs . 😅
Ah yes, mitochondria, the essential that 99.99% of coaches do not address. I have written a 28 page synopsis listing most of what you need to know about increasing the quantity and power of your mitochondria. Necessary things for me to do at age 76 to maximise my performance.

Computer says what?
I would subscribe if you(or the reading machine) would at least pronounce Pogacars name correctly
fish packer to pedophile
Wout..ti ammiro molto ..sei forte..uno dei più forti..ma devi smettere di fare il gregario di Windegard...durante il tour ti consumi e poi dopo non riesci a vincere più nulla. Se al tour ti risparmiavi fatiche enormi per far da servo al nano danese avresti vinto il mondiale.
Wtf is that
Tom Simpson die while riding the TDF while on crack
GIRO
I really wanted to watch this video, but these edits are just too anoying, sorry...
No doubt Jonas is a worldclass cyclist, but I'm sure that Tadej would destroy him if he had the team that Jonas have
and what would the tactics be with a team like that?
uae is just as good yates was the best team mate this tour
Pog has been crashing lately.
3:43 Later in the year, he secured a silver medal in Beijin in a road race. The medal WVA wears LITERALLY says TOKYO OLYMPICS.
Vin-gay-go
Maybe you should just learn how to pronounce names people you talk about...that could be first step to build some credibility.. can't listen to it.
So he is a great climber because he is a good climber. What a BS video. Clickbait!
Wout should go for the world TT title. TT's seem to be his strength.
Very interesting video. Terrible AI narration, zero correct pronunciation of any Dutch/Flemish names or place names. Cringeworthy.
For sure Wout would never been able to win anny grand tour , but he could ride a top 10 with a team who supports him.
His most beautifull victory was the stage in the tour, where he had to climb the mont Ventoux 2 times in 1 stage. And war still more then 3 minits ahaed of the second rider.... This was beautiful!! Its about time Wout will go to a team where he can be a headman of a solid team. He deserve it and he proved it so manny times !!!!!!!
Cracked good in TDF 😂
Es el ciclista número 1 en el mundo!!! Sino está el en el tour no es lo mismo!!!
Hope he does become the GOAT.
Synth voice is awful
Numbers are one thing. I also think that his recovery after putting out lots of power is really fast. I think everything is possible for him
They miss lead out
I like your videos, dont stop make them so regulary
Aint over until Paris. One good day or a bad day... Enjoy to watch every day 👌👌👌
Wow his power output is insane!
Hi, I want to ask if you want to sell this channel or If it is for sale I am interested buy it ,if you agree of course I am waiting for your reply as soon Thank you
I am really interested Do you have an email to communicate?
THERE IS ONLY ONE GOAT !!! His name is LANCE FRIGGING ARMSTRONG. THE BOSS
I believe he would have a good shot at the yellow jersey IF the course had more ITTs than it has had in recent years, and if those ITTs were half in mountains and half on rolling-flatter terrain. For me, the lack of ITTs in recent tours is not giving us a good measure of who the real individual champion should be. Look at the tours in Indurain's day, and consider that Wout is the same body type as him. He's also quite similar to Merckx. Recent tour courses have been biased toward the lighter riders, the mountain goats, not the more powerful riders, and, without significant ITTs, they've also been more team races than individual races. Note: It's clear that Wout needs to be extra careful to maintain a high fuel (carb) intake while he's racing, and a big guy, producing more power, like him needs a higher fueling rate than the smaller riders too, of course. Getting his fueling right may even be the key to enable him to compete with the mountain goats.
You think with his team of nutritionists he dosent eat properly
@@adaml5473 No, but it is possible.
Why he's not the leader of Jumbo to win the tour of France? For me he's a better rider than Vingergard and most complete all around cyclist
To win TdF GC, climbing is the most important ability. Vingegaard is a much better.
Dosent have the wpkg needed to make time gaps in thr mountains
He can get a top 15 if he rides conservative maybe a top ten He burns too much energy If he could keep out the wind and ride like cadel he could make top ten
The Future is very bright for Benni!!

The potential is tremendous.
