Only time will tell, but surely he will light up fireworks this Saturday 🔥
Volta ao Algarve is not in Spain mate.
And at the end yates won't start😢
I think we aren't listening to him. We are hearing but we aren't listening. We think the Tdf is the biggest race and that he should want to win it as many times as he can, but if we really listen, and hear him explain his thoughts on racing (not just in this interview but in several other interviews), he doesn't have that same desire to win the Tdf as many times as he can. We are creating a story that isn't there. He has other goals that he says he wants. At the end of the day, its his career, and we should believe him when he says what he wants it to be at the end, not what we want his career to be at the end.
Thanks for all the details
For you Celsius fans (i.e. the rest of the world). 😆
Just to let you know you’re not supposed to enunciate the “R” in pogacar
UAE bringing such a strong team… Wellens can pace all day. Cant see Pogi losing unless his fitness isnt there yet
not that much starpower in the strade and in the giro it seems. pogacar might clean it up easy
primoz.
Winning this race is not the objective of the season. He won it already
I think is too much ambition for Pogacar running 2 Grand Tours in 2024. If in the 2 previous years running only 1 Grand Tour, he collapsed in big climbs as Granon in 2022 and La Loze in 2023, this year will be harder for him to win Tour de France. Maybe could win the Giro.

The answer is YES.
