Oh dear... No, I mean that only Pogacar is on a special UAE program. A bit like Horner 2013 or Gilbert 2011 (although Vanendert was probably taking the same stuff). UAE is rich enough to buy excellent supporting riders. Why would they 'enhance' them, attract even more attention and increase the...

We're talking about an individual (Pogacar), not about organized team doping as in the Armstrong era. That's easier to cover up as fewer people are involved. What exactly doesn't make sense to you? That the press doesn't ask many questions? That's nothing new. That the UCI doesn't want to dig...

And nobody even mentions it... That's journalism for you.

Exactlyi I remember that even Armstrong had occasional bad days in his 7 TdF. This guy doesn't have any all season. His last bad day was in the TdF of 2023 where he still finished 22nd in the stage and where the best team at that time had to put him under pressure for two entire weeks. It's...

The best ever since he joined UAE. I've never heard about genetics that improve when you change your environment. His girlfriend is not riding for Gianetti, so that makes sense. For genetic 'talent', I'd look at Evenepoel, MvdP, Sagan, Vidar and Seixas. Was there a smoking gun with Horner who...

Your post has a few valid points, although Pogacar is much worse than Armstrong. There's no comparison. Armstrong never won a monument and won very little outside of the TdF. Your rant about social media makes no sense. Was there much criticism of Armstrong during his reign? Did the media ask...

I'm pretty sure nayr497 wasn't complaining about Pogacars attitude after the crash or UAE performances in general. It's about this one guy dominating everyone else all the time on all terrain with huge margins, including on Saturday after crashing. We've never seen this before and he's doing it...

Sure, but "he's a super responder"/ "he has immunity because he's become synonymous with the sport." is just speculation, because we don't know what's going on. I don't know whether UAE has the best doping program as a team. The team is not exceptional. I do know that the assistance Pogacar...

No. To fit my logical explanation. Something changed when he signed for UAE. I don't care about some arbitrary age category. Watch Pablo Torres next season to see whether he becomes Pogacar II. We're not talking about football, so I'll skip your last question.

"the team with the best doping program". Which other UAE riders are nearly invincible.

He already rode for UAE in 2019 with the dirtiest management in history, so that means nothing. Regarding 2020: if you think a 20-year old with no time trial pedigree can beat the entire world elite by more the minute at the end of a GT, that's ok. Ater all, as a former great racer once said...

That's the wrong question. I'll fix it for you. Check how many riders had a better palmares than Pogacar before he signed for UAE.

Well, I disagree. I see no reason to think that riders like Evenepoel, Roglic or Jorgenson are cheating. That's why we saw amazing duels between them in the past few years. They have occasional bad days and they have to balance their efforts. Now compare this with the absurdity Pogacar displayed...

Really? I saw a rider who was effortlessly dominant in almost 60 days of WT racing and he didn't show one moment of weakness in any of them. Considering his management, it is inconceivable to me that anyone could think this happened without cheating. It's been obvious to me since 2019, but last...

Vingegaard has never beaten a top fit Pogacar 1v1. That's a myth.
