Tadej Pogacar Until yesterday, it had been almost two months in which very little had been said about him. Cycling news is dedicated to The Tour of Spain and he, after a great success in Tourhas dedicated himself to preparing for his next challenges. The most immediate is the Canadian classicsbut the most important is the world which is celebrated next September 29 in Switzerland. On the occasion of his return to the competition, the Slovenian gave an interview to La Gazzetta dello Sport.
In it he addresses, as it cannot be otherwise, his views for the rest of the age and makes clear what his purpose is: “After the Giro and the Tour, now it’s time for the World Cup”. He is the great favorite. This year’s route, designed more for climbers than previous editions, seems to fit its characteristics perfectly.
however, Pogacar He believes that he will have a lot of competition and placement Evenepoel as the main favourite: “If Van der Poel is good he will be able to surprise, fight and win. And Van Aert also benefited from this route, it’s a shame he’s not there. And Remco is very versatile and can win everything place Remco Evenepoel might have overtaken me in a one-day racebut I hope to change the situation at the World Cup.”
Pogacar sends a serious warning to its rivals
But it wasn’t the statements that surprised the most. And it was that Pogacar admit it many things have changed this past year to overcome the double success of Vingegaard on the Tour: “I’ve worked a lot on the bike and my environment has changed. We’ve improved some details on the bike, I’ve changed my mentality. I’m also more comfortable in the saddle and the training is different.”
The problem is that the Slovenian went furtherand not satisfied with the improvements this year, he even threatened: “I have room to continue improving. My life is not 110% dedicated cycling. If I focus more mental or nutritional, could be better…or worse. We’ll try it and see how it goes.” If this year he wins comfortably and even Vingegaard himself doesn’t overshadow him in the grand tours, What can Pogacar do if he keeps his word and keeps improving? We will see this in the coming months.
