“Pogacar is special and he is capable of anything” – Johan Bruyneel notes striking difference between modern leaders and Lance Armstrong

Johan Bruyneel Weighs in on Tadej Pogacar: “He’s Special and Capable of Anything”

In a recent interview, Johan Bruyneel, the former team manager of the US Postal Service team, shared his thoughts on the current state of professional cycling. Bruyneel, who was instrumental in guiding Lance Armstrong to seven consecutive Tour de France victories, noted a striking difference between modern leaders and the American legend.

A New Era of Cycling

Bruyneel’s comments centered around Tadej Pogacar, the Slovenian sensation who has taken the cycling world by storm. Pogacar’s impressive victories in the Tour de France and other prestigious events have drawn comparisons to Armstrong’s dominance in the early 2000s.

However, Bruyneel believes that Pogacar is a different breed of cyclist altogether. “Pogacar is special, and he is capable of anything,” Bruyneel said. “He has a unique combination of physical and mental abilities that set him apart from other riders.”

A Different Leadership Style

Bruyneel also noted that Pogacar’s leadership style is distinct from Armstrong’s. While Armstrong was known for his intense focus and competitive drive, Pogacar appears to be more relaxed and adaptable.

“Pogacar is more laid-back and easy-going than Armstrong was,” Bruyneel observed. “He seems to be able to handle pressure and stress more easily, which is impressive given his young age.”

The Evolution of Professional Cycling

Bruyneel’s comments reflect a broader shift in the sport of professional cycling. The modern peloton is characterized by a more diverse range of riders, teams, and racing styles.

The dominance of teams like Ineos Grenadiers and Jumbo-Visma has given way to a more unpredictable and exciting racing landscape. Riders like Pogacar, Egan Bernal, and Remco Evenepoel are redefining the boundaries of what is possible in professional cycling.

What’s Next for Tadej Pogacar?

As Pogacar continues to rack up victories and accolades, the question on everyone’s mind is: what’s next? Will he continue to dominate the Tour de France, or will he turn his attention to other prestigious events like the Giro d’Italia or the Vuelta a España?

One thing is certain: Tadej Pogacar is a special talent, and his future in professional cycling is bright.
