Even Simon Yates won the Vuelta (and I love Simon). He is a very good GC rider, just like Simon, but not on the level of the greats. So yes, very overrated IMHO.

Yeah, this is it. An all time great TT. Massive overrated as a GC rider.

Yeah, we have to agree to disagree. Like I said, full of excuses, not good enough.

After making a ton of excuses. From my perspective, there is an important distinction between clearly stating “no excuses” and providing several justifications before ultimately concluding with “no excuses.”

Yes, I can. Can you?

Yep, after he made a ton of excuses. His words: "I don't think I digested yesterday's effort at all. I didn't have the best night either; I woke up from the heat. But ultimately, I can't make excuses."

I don't think it is a problem. He is just not good enough.

Remco really talks too much. All of excuses again.

UAE really needs to attack on Capo Berta.

Can you imagine a furious attack by UAE train from Capo Berta? It'd be so good.

Very nice article. Loved the final part: "That is where the comparison becomes less about numbers and more about context. Merckx raced in a peloton that was smaller, less specialised and far less global. Pogačar operates in a landscape where preparation is optimised, teams are deeper, and...

Always here trying to diminish Pogi feats.

Yes, I love to read those idiot interviews. The man has a hugeeee ego, we have to say that. He will never be in Pogacar's league. He is not going to be a better belgium athlete than Merckx. So instead of saying a lot of crap, why doesn't he win just ONE TDF before?

Pogi is flying while Remco is giving crappy interviews: I want to be greater than Merckx, I want to be better than Pogi, etc etc.

Maybe Soler, who uses the TDF to train for La Vuelta?
