We should not want this of course but I understand the feeling. I myself can't really stand the person Pogacar, his interviews are always the same... to me he's a boring robot on and off the bike. But then again it does also attract me to cycling, hoping someone actually beats him, how...

I do think Evenepoel beating Pogacar and Vingegaard here is not a suprise. I also don't think Pogacar and Vingegaard should be worried by it. The mountains will show if Evenepoel actually got closer to those 2 in terms of GC ambition. We will see. What I do think is interesting is Jorgenson, he...

Pogacar and peaking? Previous years show he is not really the type to just peak for the tour. Sure I agree he is supposed to be better at the tour, looking at training schemes et cetera. But same goes for Vingegaard, Evenepoel and everyone who puts the Tour as a major goal. All in all very...

Your whole post is just based on your own opinion that you do not believe what Van Aert said in the post-race interview. I alsp believe Del Toro was more fresh at the 15km mark. But Van Aert never cracked once, so he never was cooked for real like Bernal actually did. Combine this with the fact...

Teams with people with a bad past I would also trust less. But of course some may be more shady then others. I understand people trust a team less with Armstrong as head than let's say Michael Boogerd. But Gianetti was not just a rider of "oh i doped once, didnt know anything else and i am...

Saying it shouldn't lessen our trust in Pogacar is rather naive... imagine Armstrong being the head of a WT team with the highest performing cyclist as teammember. Nah of course that would not lessen our trust.🤣

I agree, i worry most about his constant on-form status.

I have been reading the latest, sometimes heated, discussions in this thread with interest. I also do not believe in motor doping, I really do not see how they would keep this hidden for so long, even if you don't xray the bikes I just don't consider it likely. For me more likely are tests...

Really have to point out the east german athletics times and world records of the 80's, some still stand as of today and if they don't many are still among the best times ever. So yes performing better than full blown dopers is not easy and certainly not just a matter of time and progress. And...

I agree. I myself do not believe in the feasibility of motor doping. I come from a drug development background and I see enough possibilities for sports people to enhance things with certain drugs, even with tests. And let's be honest, if motor doping is on the table... even genetic doping...

Good for you that a lot of riders share your opinion, why wouldnt they? And yes Pogi has shown he is much better than the rest, in a league of his own. I just think we do not know at all why he is so much better, and I doubt the unknown part is something Pogi likes us to know. That is just my...

I don't know if many here have read about the pre race (lombardia) interview with Pogacar where he talks about doping and why would you do it risking your health. I thought this was suprising to see considering what Giannetti did. If Pogacar is so serious about no doping he would simply not...

Its my opinion that everyone has every right to question anything in cycling when one considers cycling history. And especially when someone commits himself to the likes of Matxin and Giannetti. I do not know if Pogacar is doping, like all of us don't. But I am not convinced he's clean 100%...
