Tadej Pogačar Could DOMINATE The 2024 Giro
We all know Tadej Pogačar has done pretty much everything you can do in pro cycling. But there’s one thing that’s still missing. Racing the Giro d’Italia. With his past seasons being focused on chasing the yellow jersey, he admitted that in 2024, he could go as far as racing all three grand tours on the calendar. So is it time for Pogačar to finally mix things up and put the pink jersey at the center of his attention? And could he actually win the Giro d’Italia?

He has won the TdF twice, but never the Giro and Vuelta. There is no need to win the TdF a third time, but to win the Giro and Vuelta to win to become one of the greatest champions in the cycling history.
I actually believe he can win both if he used the Giro to get ready for the Tour de France.. it would have to be planned where he gains form using the Giro. It has been done before and if he pulled off both he would put himself as one of the truly great riders.
You put it out as if Pogi has a choice. I am sure that Pogi would love to win the the Tour once again, but he has to beat Jonas also in week three. But, it is so impressive that Pogi also can win Monuments, but if both Jonas and Pogi would race the Giro same Year who would take the win.
I truly think Pogi can win almost anything. If I were him, I‘d go for the Giro, Vuelta and Worlds and if that works then focus on winning the remaining monuments and maybe a 3rd Tour
for me it's better N2 option. let's be honest, win giro vuelta and rainbow jersey all in 1 season it's a great accomplishment even without the yellow jersey
I really appreciate you. Your videos are great.
I think Pog is running from Jumbo now. He likes to win and if Jonus is there, it might be a problem. If Jonus does the Tour/ Vuelta then that that may be tricky. The Tour is the yardstick and since Jonus has won the Tour, the others don't seem quite at that level. I wish Pog go for the Tour as that's the biggest race and ducky out looks like he's running scared.
Going for giro and vuelta with a " light" field would put TP in no win position. Even if he dominates, it will be argued he really didn't beat anyone of high caliber. But he is being dangled with a large appearance fee by 2024 giro organizers, so who knows?
Yes he can win the Giro. Can he win the Giro and the Tour? How about all three in one year? Maybe. He's the only one I think who could do it. I'm not sure he can beat Jonas if Jonas just concentrates on the Tour. Vuelta Giro and Worlds sounds great in particular if he takes one the classics. Just one. That would put him up there along with Eddy, Bernard, Greg, Miguel and any of the others.
build a good team around Tadej or Remco and try to find Yonas.
I sort of hope he does the Giro, Vuelta, Olympic and WC.
Tadej has not won a grand tour for 2 years now. He knows he can’t beat jonas at the tour so seems logical to go after the giro. He might as well skip the tour and get a Vuelta too.
you lost a subscriber now. probably stop those clickbait fake news thumbnails
He needs to redeem himself from TDF.
Winning all 3 grand tours is, in my opinion, more important than winning 3 tours de France
I doubt that his team will let him race the Vuelta, Giro and missing the Tour with the salary he has
As road purists are mostly watching this channel, of course we would rather see him chase everything but the TDF for a few years. Fingers crossed
If Tadej goes to Giro, then Remco will not show up there. He is currently waiting to see if Tadej and Roglic are going to the Giro to decide if he will be that coward.
Jeez, how many times, it's "poh GAT cha" 😉. Nicely presented video though as usual 👍.
I think he will try for a 3rd time to beat Jonas and if he looses again go to GIRO in 2025.
If he wins Tour in 2024 he has the problem, that he needs to defend his title in 2025.
You can bet that Pogacar's number one goal in 2024 is to get his Tour title back, and riding the Giro isn't the best preparation for that. I'm sure that he'll try it some other year though.
Well yes he can win anything in 2024 if he retains good health please don't mention A Yates in the same breath like comparing a Tesla to a Micra.
You forgot he will be aiming for Olympic gold next year 😉
I want to see him beat Jonas but I'd rather see him go for pink and red
Lay off a heavy classics schedule, do giro, rest and build, do Olympics, do vuelta, do worlds (I forget if vuelta overlaps). That'd be solid and like he's said, he's already got 2 yellow jerseys and he seems ho hum with the Tour now. Keep him fed, but hungry.
To be considered the best, he needs to win the TdF against a top field. Winning the Giro and Vuelta against watered down fields won’t add as much to his legacy. Win a 3rd yellow in 2024 then go for Giro and Vuelta in 2025.
He won't sacrifice the TDF for the GIRO, he wants the BIGGEST & BEST and no race is as Big as the TDF
it would be good if Pogačar came because Remco would also be there (Remco thought he would be alone at the race, when there was a crowd) … he he he
I think he should try to win all the spring classics that he can, then Giro d Italia, then have a break and at least try the world Championship. But It s not gonna happen because of sponsors wanting him at the Tour and because of team general plans. So i think he s gonna skip Giro d Italia again..and It s a pity..cause a great One as POGACAR needs to come to win the Giro (and Vuelta in a second moment)..and he should try to do It as early as possible because Giro and Vuelta are full of great and very hard climbs..so It would be better ( in my opinion ) to focus more on races with important climbs in the First part of his career and to gain weight to try to win for example Paris-Roubaix and Milano-Sanremo (being heavier and for this also faster in sprint) in the second part of his career
are you pronouncing his name correctly, how does he pronounce it?
Greg LeMond won 3 TdF's & 2 World Championships, which I would take over 2 TdF's, 1 Giro & 1 Vuelta & 1 World Championship. Also Alberto Contador won all 3 Grand Tours twice
I think this year it was Jonas against Tadej and Jonas won without a bigger help of the team than Tedej got
