Not sure about Milan, the Poggio is too short and there is always a sprinter coming back in the last kms to spoil the party. To win PR, he'll have to gain weight and sacrifice a lot in terms of Grand Tours for that year.
@@Mike-rm1lb , you won’t have to wait long, just another season. Pogi is going to win MSR next year, it’s his obsession now. There is only one little peace missing to break the code.
It's not one man's victory, thanks to the super domestique. My big salute is to the super-strong UAE domestique. They have to be given high appreciation and applause.
@@oussamamohsni7936 , he will most certainly try it later in his career. He has all the skills, a little more weight and muscles, and he is ready. Never say never with Pogi. ;)
@@radokostanjevic5478he always prove em wrong and when he does they say he's doping. Is like they are running out of excuses when he won the races they say he can't.
Merckx won 19 monuments (he won them all five at least twice). He won 3 world titles. He won 11 grand tours (5 tours de france, 5 giros d'italia, 1 vuelta). Pogacar is nowhere near any of those yet. Let's hope he continues until he matches the record of Merckx.
and was caught doping... i still think pog dopes but the fact that merckx was caught just rubs me the wrong way. I want the goat to have a "clean history". Thats why i also have a problem with Messi since he got PEDs when he was a kid which was fair since he was missing som genes but for me that still rubs me the wrong way.
And faced a lot less competition. Cycling was not a global sport in Merckx era. Merckx is the goat based on his numbers but the 2024 Pogacar is the best cyclist ever as of now.
@@Marltiod False, he faced some of the best riders ever, take any list of the best riders ever, based on results, and you will find De Vlaeminckx, Gimondi, Zoetemelk, Van Looy, Poulidor, Moser, Maertens, Ocaña, Fuente... Much strong opposition
Pogacar doesn't need to get hung up on matching everything Merckx did because he is going to set his own benchmarks, which I believe will include some or all of the following: a record number of TDF wins; the record for the number of individual TDF stage wins; the next three World Championships (Kigali 2025, Montreal 2026, Haute-Savoie 2027); the record for the number of wins in a single monument (Il Lombardia); equalling or breaking the record for wins in Liege-Bastogne-Liege; record wins in Strade Bianche; at least two wins in each of the Giro and Vuelta. I would be surprised if he rides Roubaix any time soon, but I do think he might go for a win in the rainbow jersey at Flanders.
At 7:52 a photo of Fausto Coppi appears while talking of Eddy Merckx! Moreover, Merckx did not fail to win the olympics. More simply, in his days the Olympics were not open to professional cyclists. They became so only in 1996.
MSR is nearly impossible to win when you're the favourite...everyone marks you and others that fly a bit under the radar can escape. Most exciting last 30kms in pro cycling
Yes your right , the level of doping is off the chart, just like Lance, never tested positive, but you can`t test positive for bike motors, the clown show goes on.
Pogačar's problem at Milan San Remo is an extremely weak team. If for one year the best people from the team were willing to be domestics for him, the situation would be completely different. The Cipressa and the subsequent flat section need to be driven as fast as possible so that the rivals on the Poggio are tired. The UAE has never been able to do that. Most of the time on Cipressa they only destroy themselves, and the opponents then manage to regenerate in the subsequent slow section. Generally, the races where he doesn't have the support of the team and the race is not difficult enough for him to win alone will be difficult for Pogačar. They will never be as weak as the Slovenians at the World Cup, but at San Remo it was just always very weak from the UAE.
The Olympics has turned to rubbish. It should have always stayed primarily for amateur athletes. Professionals don't need to claim everything in life..
Poga sooner or later will win MS and possibly PR as well.... He's the absulut 🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🔥🔥🔥🔥💪💪💪💪💪👽👽👽👽👽🇸🇮🇸🇮🇸🇮🇸🇮

He will win Sanremo , vuelta and Paris roubaix in the next two years and another yellow jersey
parix roubaix never
risks a huge injury if he does roubaix

remember when olympics were purely about sport?
no pro atheletes. no lebitch james.
Mah boy Pogs, he just needs more time to achieve his final form.
He will be the best EVER only if he can win the Volta a Portugal
I think Narvias is a key rider for Milan san remo, he will empty himself to knacker out MVP, then goes pogy, jmo
I doubt he can win Paris-Roubaix with his qualities though. Milan San Remo looks doable!
GT sweep. Monuments theb Olympics

You sound like a visma fan, if pogy is doping then they all are, take away that and he woukd still be best of all
Hulk Smash....
van de pool? sorry if pogi wants something mvdp has nothing to say. he is literally 1 or 2 classes behind pogi.

And what team would you give him for MSR?
I'm waiting for the answer as well 👂
Olympic cycling wasn’t for pro’s in the Merckx era. The reason he couldn’t win it.
Exactly, he only competed once when he was not yet a pro and it was a sprint stage, so he didn't have much chance of winning it.
The Olympics has turned to rubbish. It should have always stayed primarily for amateur athletes. Professionals don't need to claim everything in life..
He need O.L to
olympics count for almost 0 in the cycling game. Nobody cares about it that much. 1 worlds is worth MUCH more than 1 olympics
And yet he extended his UAE contract thru 2030
He’s even better than Lance ever was.. and he’s ’Clean’ goes to show you don’t need drugs.. baaaa hahaha. Dream on. People are so naive.
Lance was strictly a TDF rider. One trick poney. OK, maybe two-trick.
@@Mike-rm1lb7 trick 😂
All those commenting are so naive. This guy is a fraud. Like all the other “greats”.
That's how we like them. Cycling is the new WWF. Colourful, spectacular, nasty and crooked 😂
Absolutely man.. watch everyone claiming how clean he is hide under a rock when he tests positive. Gullible fools
How long before they catch him?@@No_Pro_00
