Fun fact: "Pogačar is coached by Road World Championship medallist Andrej Hauptman, who is also head coach and head of selectors for the Slovenian national cycling team. Hauptman first saw Pogačar race in 2011: he saw the latter pursuing a group of much older teenagers from 100 metres behind. Thinking that Pogačar was struggling to keep up with the older riders, he told the race organisers that they should provide some assistance to Pogačar: the organisers explained that the younger rider was in fact about to lap the group he was chasing."
Who would have thought that only 3 short years after this, the line "Race day with Tadej Pogacar" will top the list of the worst nightmares of every racing cyclist in the world :):)
If you look closely you can also see Mohorič and Mezgec on the right side. Also Hauptman is saying in the middle of the race that Tratnik and Rogla "are strong as fuck today". Really nice time capsule, indeed.
this kid looks like he has a lot of potential. if he keeps at it maybe one day he'll be able to make a pro continental team... and if he's lucky be a domestique on a small world tour team. like get bottles for leaders.
agrega: vuelta de asturias, giro de lombardia, tirreno-adriatica, emiratos, 3 monumentos mas, strade bianche, Paris-Niza, incontables etapas. Un monstruo, y siempre sonriente con esa carita de ninio.
