Not even the most loyal Pogacar fan would put his hand in the fire for him. It looks like he gets stronger everytime he rides, he does not know what fatigue means. He can handle all situations, he always has the power but he never has a bad day. He is 4 or 5 times stronger than other riders...

The team made a mistake and gave him a bike with low battery, so he had to do an unexpected and extra effort that brought him down to earth.

It's simple: what do you want show time or truth? It's time for show time. He is by far the strongest rider everywhere he goes. He atttacks once, and once again and when it looks like he is gutted, he takes and extra boost to smash (almost) them all. It's not that he wins everything he rides...

If you think I am claiming this because I am Vingegaard fan you are absolutely wrong.

One of the most succesfull season in cycling history, beating climbing records day in day out, winning races with historical solo breakaways as it was usual... and everything with Gianetti and Matxin behind close doors. I wrote a message during last Tour about Matxin: this is his "modus...

It's not what he won but how he did it. I mean, it's understandable to have a very succesfull season where a cyclist can win Giro, Tour, Lieja, World Champs, Catalunya and Strade, but he hadn't any opposition with his rivals having the best performances of their lifes in many cases (that was...

Matxin destroys everything he touches (in terms of cycling in general). I don't understand how someone with his background is still inside the professional cycling. We all remember the rise and shocking fall of Saunier Duval in 2008 Tour de France. Everyone can check the performances of riders...

Obviously he is at top level and as you said it could be a different point of view on how everyone defines that "top level". What I was trying to say is that Vingegaard and specially Pogacar have showed higher performances in this Tour. We don't know what is going to happen with Vingo the last...

Remco is entering now in his danger zone. Until now we haven't seen a lot of pure mountain stages (I would say 2). At this moment, The Alps stages and the last ITT (in terms of continuous efforts) look crucial for his career. If he is available to perform the way he has been doing this Tour, it...

I was watching The Clinic thread on Parlamento Ciclista and I found a very interesing message written by the user AKAI_D. He put in numbers the evolution of Pogacar performances during last 3 years and he concludes that his improvement has been %13.3 from 2021 to 2024. I think the thread is...

The main problem for me is that both of them are increasing their level from one year to another in brutal margins and considering they were at a supertop level 2 years ago it's much to say. 3 years ago Carapaz was fighting for the podium and stage wins on the Pyrennes with this duo, and I...

If I have to be honest, the combo Gianetti, Matxin and UAE is a massive bomb. So sad to see these horrendous performances getting better day by day and breaking records as if it was the routine. They are increasing their level year by year and it looks like we didn't see the limit yet...

I believe Thomas was on the limit and I think that he said something similar on the post race interview. He is very experienced and he knows perfectly how to do to maximize his results, especially in GTs. He also knows that in normal conditions Pogacar is two or three points over the rest of...

As should be expected, Pogacar is on another level. He looked like too keen on putting the "maglia rosa" on, but honestly, I thought the gap between him and the chasing group would be bigger. Kudos for O'Connor for trying to follow Pogacar. Reallity has been so cruel with him, but It was just...

Looking at the way the UAE kicked off this Giro makes me believe that Pogacar wanted to be the leader of the race from Torino to Rome and to be honest, I don't understand why to be such ambitious considering this is a 3 week race. In my opinion, Pogacar is miles away from his rivals here, but...
