In spite of the increasing quality of riders today, the Giro is a gift to Pogacar. The TDF is an unknown with Jonas and Primoz.
I'm rooting for Tadej, but whatever happens, this is going to be a spectacular year for the spectators to watch cycling.
More possibilities in so many ways.
Win or lose Pogi makes every race he is in worth watching.
I suspect Tadej will decide during the Giro just how all in his body allows him to be, either go for victory or let a teammate take the point while he rides in anticipation of the Tour. And either way I think it'll be advantageous for him at the Tour. He is in the summertime sunshine of his career and a few climbs in Italy seem like the perfect prelude for a champ like Tadej. 😀
Pog is the only rider who can do that today but still no - the quality of riders he must beat is just wow. Giro is for Pog, TDF for Jonas and no way Pog can recover from Giro to win TDF. Without Jonas yes, but Pog can win 10 stages and he will still be behind Jonas because there will be one long hard stage in 3rd week that Jonas will gain 2min. and Jonas will prepare only for TDF and every stage will be dialed for overall (boring yes, but he's smart and knows where his strength is and he knows he can't be "I can win everything" like Pog). Rogla is a threat but his team is not strong like TV or UAE. Vuelta will be fun - maybe we can see Jonas, Pog and Rogla there also - that would be wow.. let's go!
Giro and Vuelta are always very hard compare to Tour de France.Tour was always the easiest of three but Giro and Tour in the same year needs a insane amount of stamina.
Pog can definitely win the Giro, TDF, and Worlds but it will be very very difficult. Everything will have to go right for him to do it. He has to quickly build a large lead in the Giro so he can ride the rest of the race defensively. Then in the Tour, he has to try to really be in peak shape even with the Giro in his legs. He has to take advantage of the gravel stage as much as possible. He just has to hope for the best legs. Jonas is the best GT rider right now but he can still mess things up. Then there’s Roglic and Remco as well who can complicate things for Jonas.
In the Worlds, I think he is one of the top two favorites along with Remco. Of course, MVDP and Wout has to be dropped first, which is very possible with the course this year. If it goes to a sprint with Remco, I think it is 60-40 in favor of Pog.
Really excited to watch Pog’s season. If he manages to do it, I’m glad I get to witness it since I was not yet born when Merckx and Roche did it.
I’d say Tadej had the best chance of doing it out of every rider in the modern peloton.
Personally I kind of discount Stephen Roche in this since he was 100% doping during the season he got the triple crown. Everyone else was too, but that whole era from the mid 80’s to early 2000’s was absolutely filthy with scientific application of performance enhancing drugs.
I think the course of the TdF suits Vingegaard better. I even suspect that this might be the reason why Pogi opted in for the Giro - this is quite a safe bet for him imho.
TOUR 1: Completed
Now when I see a captions with the words Impossible I am not liking it.
It has been done before and it is very possible and the Slovenian Sensation to do it.
I think it's the right time to go for it at this stage of his career. The Cannibal and the Irish man did it.
It's a bold move but I do believe he will win the Giro and the TDF
Not sure about the world's
I will take the PANTANI double then I think about the 🌈 bands
The team that has been assembled to help the Slovenian win is one of the best we have seen in yrs, it's the strongest team this season bar none
UAE aka the Arabian Knights
I am going on record to say POGAČAR will win the 🩷 and 💛
Just curious..are the world championships considered more important than the Vualta?
Yes I think so just considering the history of the jersey whereas the Vuelta is the youngest grandtour
If anyone can do it, it will be him.
With Roche and Merckx having done it, it is not exactly impossible. It is, however, improbable.
Different era so I would disagree hahah
The UAE team must be super strong for him to do it.
The question I have with Tadej in one day races like the WC this year is just... where the hell do you drop him?
Of course he can do it
Id love it as a Pogi fan but the TDF is the challenge of those 3 with Jonas, Remco & Primoz there plus the Worlds could be tough given he's also doing the Olympics
I think he is the only rider able to do it
😊😊😊
No triple for Tadej. It's unfortunate because he's the most Merckx like rider of recent time but I think there is so much talent out there that it's just impossible these days. And then there's Jonas too who owns the TDF.
I dont know if id make him odds on favourite for the worlds i think hes a top5 id love him to win it but i think MVDP is favourite to retain
The Worlds course might be a bit too hilly for MVDP imo. Pogi and Remco are the top two favorites for me.
I think he could do it but on TDF he should race defensively...
He'll get blasted in the TT but Jonas
He has not once beaten Jonas in the TDF by a significant margin and the gap between both is more likely to grow in Jonas favor this year because of Progacar's preparation or rather lack thereof. This rivalry is not as close as perceived when talking only about the TDF. Would it even be considered an upset if Primoz finishes ahead of him, probably not.
If Vingegaard comes to tdf in better condition that last year, then NO - Pogi Will not be able to do it. If Pogi and Roglic speaks and combines efforts to end Vingegaard its possible. If at the last ty stage Jonas is within a 1-2 minuts after Pogi or Roglic he Will smoke them and win. Overall Vingegaard Will beat them both - he has on focus, one goal and is able to deliver over three weeks. Roglic have lost, and lost GT’s - same with Pogi - Vingegaard is only rider that has increased his level in tdf.
Now Remco - he is the king maker and can decide which person will win
to me, riding the Giro by Tadej feels like an evasive manoeuvre to me....
No, its a Merckxian manoeuvre.
At first he has the talent to do it. But he will not. I give him the Giro. But the TDF this year will be very hard to win. And the World's have their own rules.
I wouldn't bet against him. With the break up of visma and losing coaches and wout not doing the tour Jonas will be in the wind and have to work. Jonas won't be the best at anything this year. The tt is on his home roads jonas is gonna go down a great deal. With the world champ riding tt and four true teams it is gonna be great.
Well, I mean there is nothing IMPOSSIBLE, when it comes on TADEJ...Last year He was after the injury and not in the Best shape, then He was "just" second on TDF!? Or third in Glasgow???😀WTF 😀
The question seems a little moot, giving he didn't win one Grand Tour this year, and the competition next year is going to be much greater. Hell he might not get a chance to compete in all three Grand Tours giving that both Auyosa and Adam Yates probadly will want to compete for a Vuelta win also. And lets not forkert he is going for the Olympics as well, so I don't think he has a chance of win all three, maybe one if he is lucky.
He have to deal whith at least on bad day ? And to think he suddently should not have one in 3 tours is unlekkely ' after all he have bad days just in the tour every year
With e-bikes and medical assistance it’s definitely doable 💉🤐🤫🤔
Hahahahahahahahha
no. simple answer
Who is here for Bini ?🎉
