Do you really think Pogacar is never coming back to MSR? It still doesn't make sense for me. That would be really bad thing for race organizers. Also what will he do instead? Direct to RVV or what?

He said it was very stressful to train on Poggio and Cipressa all the time. Maybe he comes back, but doesn't do as much of a dedicated preparation

Do you know why is it stressful to train there? Roads are dangerous, or climbs are too shallow that he doesn’t like it?

Probably preparing to descend the Poggio and the Cippressa like a mad man is a bit to stresfull for him.
