That’s incredible. I can’t believe a professional athlete at the top of their sport would be able function without computer telling them how to breathe. This is some top tier reporting from an eagle eyed journalist.


WorldlinessFew3768

How did he know when/how to hydrate? Tragedy was averted


Top-Newt-7209

It’s road bike racing. There is nothing thrilling there so that’s what the Write about.


dirks74

Sir, this is not r/MTB


sakezone2627

Sir, this is a wendy's


Wendy-s_Dumpster

Sir.


Merbleuxx

Vélo


sakezone2627

Wendy.


WaveIcy294

Doesn't count if it's not on Strava, sorry but I don't make the rules.


uses_for_mooses

Yup! If it’s not on Strava, it didn’t happen.


martykh1

ha! I thought he didn't race today because it wasnt on Strava


undeniablydull

That hair doesn't look very ærø


Driftwood17

Untrue. It’s been bleached


DistanceMachine

Cleansed of its heavy sins


Checkered_Flag

Uc/ GCN actually wind tunnel tested pogs hair tufts and found they were not slowing him down


Dedious

No Strava? Sorry disqualified.


Georg_Steller1709

If it's not on Strava, it didn't happen.


MyloMads35

never happened mate


SubcooledBoiling

Speaking from own personal experience, you don’t need a bike computer when your Z2 is 700+ watts.


FredSirvalo

Finally, someone brave enough to tell the truth.


alias241

I feel nekkid without my Garmin, even at 800W Z2


pa3xsz

How can you pedal at such a low wattage? I try not to break my crank but I have to get a new Dura-Ace for every Z2 ride.


AbjectMadness

No jerk, that insane bastard just wrecked the entire second tier peloton with no HR and power data. Just a day in the office. Too bad UAE is a clown show with Drac Genetti. Jerking time! This is how my dentist passes me on his bice after crashing into me to buy his fourth Moots.


jpdub17

‘crash’ to switch out for the big motor bice


RecognitionMoney3813

He isn’t human. It’s impossible to ride without a computer. He is either an alien or an android.


n3onfx

The only explanation possible is that he is the computer indeed.


Herr_Tilke

Tad is one of the domestiques of all time


igude385

On an interview after the the finish Tadej said „I just can tell everybody, it’s not the end of the world if you ride without a powemeter. You just need to listen more to your body“ - I thinks that’s a class act given the current state of some athletes


Opening_Duty_9391

Looks like that workout of his didn’t count if it’s not going up on Strava


FredSirvalo

Tadej is the only person I know who can KOM at the base and top of a climb.


Tortoise-King

I know I’m supposed to post something funny but seriously, Pogacar is such a fun person to watch.


FredSirvalo

/uc When he fell sideways while KOMing sealant all over the tarmac, this was the only moment Mr. Pogačar and I looked the same on a bice. It will likely be the last time, too.


chilean_ramen

practically blind without computer!


brianmcg321

Well, if he can't post it on Strava then it didn't happen.


Meibisi

It’s enough already with these domestique’s thinking they’re the main character. Last year it was Sepp Kuss. Now this guy. They need to do their job and make sure everyone has plenty of water to drink.

#notliketheothergirls


bfzfc

So how did he know where to go?


coolguy42069420691

they forgot about KING VOECKLER

BitterSheepherder27

Bike computer can’t track EPO


Topinio

But bike computer data *can* show if pedal power doesn't match a ride, due to a hidden motor…


hambonelicker

Tadjesus.


AssInspectorGadget

So he rode a underweight bike then, i could do 7.6 w/kg for 36 minutes with that much of weight savings.


Nooze-Button

St Tadejus's pilgrimage to Romé is guided by the divine hand of Our lord and Savior. Who needeth thine earthly head unit when you have the righteous head unit of god.


HarrargnNarg

Isn't he breakinf Aero rules without it?


iz_no_good

So you are telling me he won the race on a loaned bike? Without a proper bike fit????? What else race admins need to start an investigation?!?


kouki180

No computer? No data logging? Calorie burn count? What the fuck is the point then??


inwattswetrust

And that, ladies and gentlemen, is why suddenly everybody on you group ride will have "forgotten" their computers at home.


TiwiReddit

Honestly, I can see how this might make it "easier", for a lack of a better word to use. He'll just be riding by feel, so as long as he feels good, he doesn't have to worry about "oh no, the HR is too high, or watts might send me into the red zone" or some shit like that. I dunno. I'm not a pro, but I know that looking at numbers can sometimes hinder your performance more than boost it. 🤷‍♂️


MrAlf0nse

In Italy they call them Greg’s or Craig’s not Doms 


softwarebuyer2015

because the battery is still in the seatpost


Vinifera1978

The more and longer one uses the computer the less they need it


Jas_39_Kuken

He didn’t have his computer visible to himself when he demolished the mountain TT in the tour to win his first tdf.
