He and his coaches need to write a book about their training program. Even if I couldn’t do any of it, it would be interesting to know how someone achieves this kind of fitness. Also I love his time trial position. He looks like an animal in the zone. Like a swimming fish or something. He’s churning so hard and it’s still liquid smooth. That must also be the result of practice. I would love to know how they do it.
There's been quite some insight into UAE's training aprroach (80/20 distribution, 3 Zone model, working with torque etc...) but it most certainly comes down to genetics and performance enhancement measures that are undetected so far. But I agree, a run down of his training, nutrition and overall attitude towards the sport would be more than interesting to read.
I'm glad that so many people are realizing the farce, here. I love cycling & Pogacar is amazing to watch. But, they are beating records from the EPO era. The bikes are nice. Training methods ever improving. But, those records aren't believable. These performances aren't believable. But, we all still love to watch, & imagine what it must be like. Can't wait for the tour!
I'm 100% with you on this. If anyone thinks today's top riders aren't juiced they have their heads in the sand. Nothing EVER changed in terms of doping in cycling... Lance's outing just forced everyone to get smarter about how to conceal things...and the UCI has proven untrustworthy under the LA era to hide positives you know... 'for the good of the sport.' yeah okay. I love cycling and I love watching pro racing, but i do so from a view that everyone is dirty until proven clean and no, a clean testing record does NOTHING to prove innocence, since LA technically never tested positive and he was likely the most tested athlete ever. But when performances are quoted as being 'unbelievable' it's because they are just that... NOT believable without pharmacological enhancement. Clearly TJV and TUAE have their pharma dialed in on athletes who benefit from the dope the best.
@@johnandrews3568 absolutely! Watching Pogacar win the Slovenian TT by 5 min was something. Meanwhile, watching the LA talks on Trans in sports & how an unfair advantage should be a decider. I’m thinking there must some parallels…. Not to get political, but…. It seems to be a major & unfair advantage when you win a TT like that one, by that much.
@@whenvioletsturngrey9597 yeah but it's all bike tech and improvements in training and diet... bahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahhahahahahahahahhahahahahahhahahahahahhah
Lmao did you watch last year's tour? Jonas has a similar TT, better bike handling skills and better recovery. He dropped your boy EZ on Granon. He was on fire in Dauphiné not even going full gas. Poggi has a huge fight on his hands this year
because the TT started with a climb then flattened off and so it's faster overall to switch to a TT bike which is faster because its more aero, but its heavy so you wouldn't use it on the climb
In this form it will be verry difficuld to beat him in the tour ! in my opinion he is the best rider in the world . The only one who beated him in a TT was Wout Van Aert ... no supprise about this .
I HOPE there are no drugs involved. Many of us had dreams when Lance was ruling the world only to have our joy dashed by his disgusting behavior. I'm a big fan of Tadej and am in awe of his talent. I hope it is all real!
You have to keep in mind that these guys are not tested during recovery. They can take the best peptides for fast recovery. And why wouldnt they, I would too!
But drugs allone don't make a hero. It needs hard work, discipline and also genetics Like Michael Phelps. of course he was full with steroids etc....but he has the 1 of 1.000.000 genetics and used his potential
@@gunslinger3263 Dutch dont use drugs! Drugs are not part of dutch culture at all! Go to the music festivals and everyone is straight. Euro Cyclists dont like dance music or that clubbing culture.
He’s a minute and 30 seconds quicker then in 2020 during exact same TT
yes I'm not certain on wind conditions etc but certainly impressive
Did he change bikes back then, too? Easy to lose that much in the first section with a heavy TT bike
It was raining in 2020 edition, so that also could be a factor.
Everyone was quicker today than 2020 due to weather. Btw hopefully he ll be ok for the tdf... I want him to win so bad!
so he's ready for the tour right? despite the fracture on his hand

Mmm. I remember Armstrong.
I can only imagine the team chemistry.
all the teams know how to train by now, they're all pros. some are just freaks of nature like any other sport.
And those guys he's passing aren't slow. Incredible! Great seeing a super talent like this in action :)
Glad his wrist is ok! We're going to see a great TDF 2023!
He overtook competitors like pros pass by amateurs on tri races.
Since all his competitors were KTs instead of World Tour Pros this is kinda exactly what happend
He looks very confident. A level that is a achieved with the knowledge that he is capable of doing these courses at these speeds without issue.
It's kind of funny how he's wife who rides for Jayko enters the UAE car like nothing 😂😂
The hubby is a very powerful peice of the UAE mix😂

With that performance it would seem Pog is in fine form for TDF
@5:20 Pog gives a shout out to the blue USPS eagle logo on his jersey. IYKYK.
In the defence of many Time Trail riders this course was a puncher's dream race on the road bike. The course was made for Pog's style.
Oh boy poggie is ready grabs popcorn in anticipation of TDF 2022 2.0
He looks very relaxed…good sign for the next weeks👌🚲✨
Man's just zooooomiiiiiinnnn 🚀🚀🚀
5 Minutes! I would be ashamed to show up in 2nd 😂
Was Rodglech there?
He didn’t even need to have a fast bike change, he was so fast!
So the wrist looks fine?
Where’d you find this?
To quote the infamous Mr Armstrong,
"That's not normal"
Get over it. Cycling has never been better
@@waitbalthy6342 by better you mean dirtier... you're correct.
Love to see it
That guy has to have a hidden motor... in his legs!
Lol
He killed all
He probably posted it on Strava as "recovery ride" in Z1-Z2 xD
Jonas has no chance 💪🏽
Lmao did you watch last year's tour? Jonas has a similar TT, better bike handling skills and better recovery. He dropped your boy EZ on Granon.
He was on fire in Dauphiné not even going full gas.
Poggi has a huge fight on his hands this year
Kids a machine! I'll bet he's learned after last year's tour. This year? Look Out!!! 👍🏻🚴
sure thing buddy
@@simonsterberg9760he will win
‘Pogacar wins local club 10’
Awesome!
Barely broke a sweat.
why didnt the fastest start at first ?
He blew by guys … another level. I have a set of deep dish wheels… very tricky in winds. I wonder his average speed was?
31.699
Looks like Tadej accidentally signed up for the amateur tt championships. Whoopsie
Nice couple.
Il est véloce sa tourne tres rond beau style
un beau test en chrono avant le TdF. en plus le parcours ne semblait pas évident (tjs en prise)
Why did he switch bikes halfway?
because the TT started with a climb then flattened off and so it's faster overall to switch to a TT bike which is faster because its more aero, but its heavy so you wouldn't use it on the climb
@@ProCycling22 ah I understand
simply can not wait to see duel with Jonas on the Toure . Pogacar , Remco , Jonas and else .
In this form it will be verry difficuld to beat him in the tour ! in my opinion he is the best rider in the world . The only one who beated him in a TT was Wout Van Aert ... no supprise about this .
Vingegaard is a much better climber and could have won the last TT but slowed down to let van Aert win
@@invisiblescout6335 we will see shortly if Vingegaard is much better than him
@@MattRamsey-p7v 🤭
i think cycling has alot to do with how much pain you can take
Winning on and off the bike
Freaking INSANE !!!
(...I remember when I rode like that. Actually, that's how I felt like I rode....now, I ride like a turtle, sigh....)
Cycling cap...worn proper makes you a champ in my books anytime. NO baseball hats in cycling.
5 min?!
Mahoric?
He will be in 2nd in the TDF until the time trial where he will SMOKE vingegard.
What was that?
You predicted
Anyone realize he has car in his name
Lets take a moment to appreciate how Pogy carried that giant mech all the way to o first place.
Giant mech?
@@ianpablo2208 His TT bike
That bike cost : $18,000 for those who want to know why they spend that kind of money on these bikes: SPEED.
Is that Tadej's girlfriend?
LE PogZ
This is hilarious.
pogacar come back.. welcome~~ haha
😮 does that mean Slovenia has no TT riders🎉
Depends on who did compete? They have quite a few world class riders.
Roglic is no slouch on an TT bike. I don’t know if he was there.
Pogačar was the only world tour rider.
@@timotejstibilj3450 then the only benchmark we have was himself a few years ago when he won his first tour.
no wonder, with socks that high.
I HOPE there are no drugs involved. Many of us had dreams when Lance was ruling the world only to have our joy dashed by his disgusting behavior. I'm a big fan of Tadej and am in awe of his talent. I hope it is all real!
Hahahhahahaha 'no drugs involved'... really? OF COURSE they are.
Drugs are def involved in all of the top riders nowadays. I find it hard to believe these guys are beating records from athletes that were juiced ...
Dont you see the other riders? 😂 he is ofcourse doped
2:24 he doesn't need to shave forearms, we do 😭😭
Overtook 3 (almost 4) riders in this short clip. This guy is not human, he is a Monster.
I count 5
He is indeed talented, but he's also juiced to the gills.
He was number 1 so started last and arrived almost at the same time as number 8 so he overtook 6 almost 7 people
Must have been the helmet...
Mofo was on another level!
It has to be that special orange juice
with disc brakes!
almost disrespectful 😂
Till the secret juice discovered thou shall rule. Armstrong 2.0
can some translate what he is saying
" Rear wheel unfasten... "
@@TheGraca pizda
That he caought someone in 2 km, idk who tho

Have not ever watched a more boring video. My intent is not to be mean just honest. For what it’s worth. Say what you gotta say okay.
Come on. He is so juiced.
Just like everyone else in the pro field, he just has extra talent
And the point is?
