    Tadej Pogacar and Mauro Giannetti

    I´m sorry but have you noticed the progress that Pogacar made this winter? He didn´t just tart cycling, he was already 25 years, 2 times TDF winner, multiple monument winner and dominant no 1 in the world...no way it is a natural progression to improve your level around 10% and beating every...

    This makes no sense. Jonas beat him in 2022 with a gap. Both of them improved their numbers and he beat him again in 2023 with a bigger gap. In the spring 2024 he showed strong improvement compared to 2023 and then crashed heavily in Spain. Without this he might have had the same improvement as...

    Jonas Vingegaard: Something is Rotten

    your´re right. Jonas didn´t lose because he was bad...it was just Pogacar who was stronger than last year and even stronger than in the Giro...numbers say that he improved 5-8% compared to May what is absolutely incredible...

And as Jorgenson weight 5-10 kg less than these riders he has perfect preconditions for success. I suppose that he makes huge...

    Tadej Pogacar and Mauro Giannetti

    According to mou this is more than reasonable - Movistar ist the worst team regarding training, nutrition etc. Matteo had to do altitude training with personal budget. Then he went to Visma that ist at least the 2nd best team in it. His progression this year was obvious but I think his biggest...

    Tadej Pogacar and Mauro Giannetti

    Sorry, this is ridiculous. Nothing in his youth indicated that he is such a talent - even in slovenia he was not outstanding. He won his first relevant races as an adult. Not comparable to other riders that showed their potencial in their youth.

    He is the most popular and the most hated rider in the peleton - from praising him as the goat of cycling to rejecting him in every aspect because he kills cycling we can read everything about him in these days...this is more or less normal after such a TDF
