Pogačar Dominates & Roglič Signs with Bora | Il Lombardia 2023 | THEMOVE

[@michaelrk634]

The last podcast/episode with Jan Ulrich was amazing. He is such an intelligent guy and a classy sportsman.

[@bikeskimawk670]

Thank you gentlemen. You make cycling grand. The insight, the stories, the knowledge makes me looking forward to the next podcast. Ride to the level of your smile.

[@jakobdivo]

Great show. What a great time to be a cycling fan. Looking forward to the 2024 season!

[@hilltop1972]

The crazy apparent ending to the Super team fiasco led to JV loosing one of its most important and longest leaders..one has to wonder if the events of the "merger" discussion didn't create a convenient opportunity to release Rog. I'm so happy for him. Let's see him on his own against the others

[@ShawnStradamus520]

Another great season of The Move! Your team is the best, Chapeau and many thanks! Tadej just has a different perspective on the sport than LA and JB, he said at the beginning of the year that he would rather win Le Ronde than the TDF this year, so he has already answered that question. Respect to all. Btw, Jens Voight is also really great on the moto!

[@jerrychicken967]

Just saw Rog interview post Lombardy and he said traffic blocked the road on last descent when Pog got away. Roglic said he was tired though so maybe the result was the result.

[@royoser9956]

Thanks for a great season, guys. Great point by George about the mental toughness of Primoz Roglic. Bora was a good choice for him. You could say the same about the mental approach of Jonas Vingegaard. His focus is on winning the TDF and nothing distracts him from that. I don't understand Tadej, though. Nobody can win them all. Why can't he have a rational long-term plan for each season and stick with it? The one time he went head-to-head against Jonas this year besides the TDF was at Paris-Nice, where he crushed Jonas and everyone else. Who remembers that besides me? And even sensei Johan has to look it up to confirm Tadej is the no. 1 rider in the world rankings by a huge margin. To me that illustrates Lance's point that the UCI rankings, significant though they may be, don't capture our imagination the way the TDF does. Which Lance won seven straight times.

[@henriksylvestolsen4885]

He crushed Jonas 2 times in Tirreno-Adriatico as well in 21 and 22 - it seems like March is the month to beat him -wonder why.

[@pedrodiogo4807]

Look, Pogacar's real goal is not beating the TDF record, I am sure that if he gets it will be great, but his real goal is to be remembered as one of the all time greats. Besides 2 TDF wins, he has one already 5 monument wins, so career wise he is much ahead of Vingegaard who has won 0. If Vingegaard ends his career with 2 TDF's more than a Pogacar with 10 monuments more, only Tour-centric folks will think Vingegaard is the best of the two... because to be one of the all time greats in cycling you NEED to win more than the Tour.

Crazy season for both Pogacar and Vingegaard. Difficult to compare one day race wins to stage race wins. Imagine if Vingegaard had gone for the Vuelta win on Angliru and the following stages, then he would have won: Tour of the Basque, Dauphiné, Le Tour de France and La Vuelta :O And the same goes for Pogacar... Imagine if he hadn't crashed out of Liege and had won it instead of Remco :O Two crazy athletes with completely different riding strenghts.

Remco said he stays with Soudal. Here's what he said today: "The team continues, so I will stay,” he said, putting an end to the speculation. "There were a few difficult moments, but next year we’ll go for it," he added, with the Tour de France the expected major goal. So it will be interesting if Ineos is still chasing him. Maybe he just said to calm down the speculation after the merger/take-over bust? we shall see over the winter. This whole thing with the JV merger/takeover doesn't give a good impression of Bakala's commitment to support project Remco to stay with Soudal.

[@epincion]

I agree I don't think TJV and SQ will merge

[@youriverstraete4986]

Guys, not two minutes into an episode on a historic day for cycling you start discussing what it means for next year’s TdF… thank the cycling gods Pogačar thinks differently

[@MEB939]

@@systemicchaos3921 ...do you even listen to yourself? Whatever you say pal🙂

[@Sills71]

It is clear that Pogacar wants to be a COMPLETE racer, not a TdF only sort. Pogacar's season was far better than Vinegard. Despite what Lance says, the TdF is NOT the only race. There are other important races, the Tour of Flanders is a crown jewel in any racers palmares. Pogacar still won 2 stages and finished second on the TdF. Winning Flanders, Amstel and Fleche is by itself a great feat. Pogacar is simply bad to the bone, as Bobke would say.

[@satyrcreekergang4985]

The M. Mørkøv move makes sense. This year M.M was great and always in the right position but somehow F. Jacobsen didn't follow the lead. They could have won soooo many more races if only F.J stayed behind M.M Looking forward to TDF 2024 as we know Mark will follow M.M All the way to Paris where Mark will win. 💯 Stay safe 🤘🇺🇲🇩🇰🤘

MM told Danish TV2 Sport, that Cavendish called him the day after his crash, and asked if he had signed a new contract, to wich MM said he hadn’t signed a new contract yet. Cavendish then said, he wants MM to come to Astana, and will do whatever he can to make that happen, and if he succeeds, he will take another year. MM took that as a big pat on the back, that Cavendish wanted his help to win more races next year, and said yes right away.

So, safe to assume Pog is the closest thing we'll have to Merckx?

George, Roglic may be a great downhill skier, but he can't ride a bike worth a shit... That's why Pogacar pulled away from him on the descent. Let's all remember Roglic started riding late... It seems to be a pattern that everybody who starts riding late just doesn't have that intrinsic bike handling skill like the guys who started earlier/younger.

[@GaiusPrimusMatius]

👍

[@cartermoth6447]

Recency bias is showing here. Go & re-watch stage 19 of the 2018 Tour. Roglic destroyed the descent & won the stage. He's fast downhill. As fast as the best (certainly faster than Evenepoel). But yesterday in Lombardia he was totally cooked after bridging the gap at the top of Ganda. He was spent. He had nothing left.

[@paolocastellano343]

@@cartermoth6447 You are certainly correct about Evenepoel... You may be right about his downhill skills but in th past few years especially in the Tour de France he always seemed to have a bunch of ticky tack crashes that riders like Pogacar just don't ever have..... Also, I thought Roglic was was a downhill ski jumper for distance, not a racer, am I correct? Thanks.

[@dhirajmasandful]

I agree with Lance, Remco is the biggest looser in this, as he knows that with Soudal he stands no chance in competing with Pogacha or JV in TDF, wont be suprised that he breaks the contract in frustration after all😅. 2024 will be a 3 horse races where Remco will ship at least 1 hr on his bad days and beg for mercy to win some stages from these guys. Soudal can never win a GT where it matters the most, they are no more classics dominating team since some years already. Pure stage hunters from now on.

True, Vingegaard is by far the best stage racer in the world. Pogacar is just the best all around rider, Van Der Poel is the best one day racer. The only impressive win for Pogacar this year was at Flanders, Vingegaard and Van Der Poel won the most important and biggest races.

Say what you like Pogacar wins this that or whatever. The best cyclist is the one who wins the tdf. That is what the public sees as the best cyclist. This is why the tdf course needs to change and include 100km of flat ITT like it used to. The best all round test for a cyclist should be the tdf.

[@pedrodiogo4807]

No, that's what cycling ignorant folks such as yourself see as the best cyclist. Real cycling fans know that you can't just win a three week race in July and be considered the best rider in the world. Actually, this year there is an argument to be made about Vingegaard but just because he came second at the Vuelta, won the Dauphiné, Itzulia instead of just winning the Tour... For me Pogacar is still the number 1 though...
