I have never understood the argument of people saying Pogi isn't a generational talent because he didn't dominate when he was 18 years old. He is already the youngest TdF winner since like 100 years ago, but OH MY GOD he didn't dominate when he was 18... Seixas didn't dominate when he was 17yo...

Because we are talking about beating Pogacar and Vingegaard. In current state of affairs, Remco has no chance no matter how much ITT there could be. He needs to be way better in the mountains. Pantani lost 7:39 minutes to Ulrich in the ITT and still won the TdF by 3:21minutes.

I think there is some kind of understanding in the cycling world that we should not build hype around Paul Seixas as he is so young

A big thing that makes the TdF the most important GT is its timing. In July a lot of people are taking vacations and so have time to watch the stages live. That's a big factor for sponsors. Whereas the Giro being in May and Vuelta being in September isn't ideal in this regard.

Very sad, but hopefully very motivating. This is the year for a 5th TdF win, I think he is going to be extra motivated.. Also I think Pogi is someone who is not afraid to make changes, like he did with nutrition and change of trainer in 2024. I think he will try to do something about his...

To be honest he didn't have much opportunity to show he is or he is not... And what kind of performance you think he is not able to execute which would prove he is not a fresh w/kg specialist ?

Nah the best one was stage 15 of 2024 (PdB) by far

I don't know Carapaz won the Olympics and yet most people mostly know him as this (previously) very good GT guy who won the Giro once.

In the interview he sounded confident and collected. I think he knows, and probably numbers he got as well show that he is on the right path to do some great things next year

I agree, it is not far stretched to think of a peak Remco who maybe also progress next year, and a Pogi who is in slightly less good shape than these past 2 years. If it happens Remco can be a threat on LBL at least.

I think they will put him stage races like Volta Catalunya, Tour of Romandie etc. if he performs really well like a top 5 or better. They might put him on Giro or Vuelta. This is basically what happened with Ayuso in 2022, and what happened with Pogacar in 2019. Thing is if his progression is...

Hmm with a neutral eye plenty of major races were very entertaining : MSR was one the most exciting edition in decades PR was the first time since Hinaut where a GT winner is a serious contender Giro was interesting with many unexpected turns Vuelta was closer than any Roglic edition Pretty...

Probably no Vuelta before 2029 2026 WC course will be good for him 2027 will be even better 2028 is in UAE

Very true. This is why I think for now, MVDP and Vingegaard are his only competitors. Because it is kinda crazy to think about but I'm positive that without Vingegaard and MVDP he can win all the monuments and all the GT in the same year. For now these are the only 2 who have a consistent...

Looking at sub 20yo performance to determine someone future performance in cycling is one of the worst way to proceed. Men body change a lot until 20yo. Proof is some men grow 15cm in a year from age 16 to 17. While others reach their final height at 15yo. Just as an example Wembanyama (today...
