As a slovenian there’s nothing more id like to see than a climb close to the finish where the team is in accord with who has what role and pogacar tells roglic to go to work. And just watch the field get absolutely decimated
Only dynamic to unseat Pogacar without bad luck is remco, but coming off vuelta win Primoz can man mark him if need be. Primoz should be in perhaps 2nd best form on this course without wout. Tadej could make this look like a video game I cant wait to see GP quebec its as good a warm up for Zurich as could be desired. Dont expect Tadej to show his cards completely as entire field would ride negative against him if he has anything like giro/tour legs...he wins worlds and Lombardia its bets season in cycling history 12 GT stages in process of double, liege, MSR podium, strade gtfo hes ridiculous. Just enjoying the show !!!! Thanks for preview its best worlds course since innsbruck I think and that circuit dwindling down process is something all the best today MVDP, Tadej, Wout, MAds, Remco, Primoz specialize in
He needs a strong domestique to win the world championship. Unfortunately, those super-strong UAE domestiques won't be able to assist him. In 2024 TDF UAE domestiques were super strong and insane. Unlike Mathieu Van Der Pol, he was a strong and superb solo rider. I do not know if Tadej Pogacar could discuss with La Vuelta superstar the supremo Mr. Primoz Roglic. Wout has done the same thing to Remco to win the Olympic Gold Medal for Road Race. Cheers
But it’s not like Slovenia has such a weak squad for the Worlds. More or less, the most likely riders we’ll see are Pogi, Rog, Mohoric, and Tratnik, who are all really strong especially if they’re in great form. Then we might see the likes of Novak, Govekar, and Mezgec there as well. Belgium may have a stronger team on paper but I’d say Slovenia definitely has enough pieces to really support Pogi in this race.
giro and vuelta were both in the spring in merkx's time 3 and riders wouldn't usually race both so giro, tour and wc was the most prestigious combo, and when merkx won the three it got called that. Vuelta moved to autumn in 1995 but no one's managed to win all 3 in a year yet (1974 when merkx won giro tour wc there were 3 days between the end of the vuelta and the start of the giro, doing them back to back must have felt like a 6 week long grand tour for the poor riders who did it 😂)
Bro Pogi can easily win on his one smashing everything with some 60km Solo , but with Rogla,Novak, Matej and Govekar as domestiques even easier. Roglic is gonna light it up one the second last climb and then pogis gonna launch to the win 🎉
I would like Van der Poel to win, Evenepoel has a better chance, but I'm resigned to Pogacar. Kind of sick of the guy to be honest. The Vuelta was fun to watch because at least it was competitive. The one thing working against Pogacar is he doesn't get to bring his all star band of super-domestiques with him. Evenepoel has the Belgians.
I love MvDP, but he hasn't really been an exciting World champ this season. After Spring, he was nowhere to be found. Pogi attacks in basically every race, he participates in. So in my opinion it would be absolutely great to watch the WC-Jersey attack in every race next season.
"The one thing working against Pogacar is he doesn't get to bring his all star band of super-domestiques with him. Evenepoel has the Belgians." Yes but it's not like Pogacar has a weak team... Novak, Mohoric, Tratnik and especially Roglic don't sound too bad
I love the “like me, he is a very versatile rider” comment.
That's all still part of the Pogacar quote, sorry if there was confusion on that.
Thank you for all your time and work on the show
You bet

Why isn't the triple crown winning all three grand tours? Just curious. This makes a "triple crown" sound pretty subjective.

Like me he is a versatille rider
Does anyone win the olympic and world road race in the same year?
The olympic have only allowed elite peloton to join since 1996. Prior to that the event exclusively held for amateurs. So I guess no, then.
Like me
I rewinded just to make sure

Right...he'll only have 5x GT winner as his "super-domestique", 2 work horses from UAE and Visma, and the best descender in cycling working for him...
Can rog beat pog ? 😃
Nope
Let's see as per my view Mvdp has edge over both of them.but I want to see Rog and Pog battle.
