It could be the lack of 'morals' of the new owners and trainers compared to Lavenu.

Come on now. It was expected that young riders like Pablo Torres (who did the insane Finestre performance in 2024) will be serious riders. Torres is a joke. Seixas is a prime example of accelerated evolution. This is not the norm. This is an anomaly. No clinic accusations.

The crazy thing is we are comparing a 19 year old to an athlete like Pogacar in his prime! This is unheard of!

2027 is my expectation. It would be tragic for him if it ends in 2026 already.

His era will last shorter than anyone expected.

Some people said he wasn't explosive. Made a mockery of the field. At 19!

Crash fest

View: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/NQFFFWes3o4 Rides like this certainly don't help against the motor 'conspiracy'. Who needs a leadout or hard pace when you can do that? How easy was that, indeed? HAHAH

Vlasov joining the party!

Pozzovivo is a legend.

How about we create 'Real INEOS leader' thread? BERNAL is showing signs of life again.

The Redbull Bora real leader thread will be fun later today.

Ever since the 2024 Tour Pogacar has not looked the same on longer climbs. In 2024 he was using a higher cadence (almost Armstrong like) and he looked super smooth. In 2025 and 2026 he is grinding a bigger gear (his power training for the classics probably has an influence on this) To me...

Looks like a snail. Hopefully he ups his game before Sunday.

He said in the interview that good weather is expected and he would like to ride Fleche. Final decision tomorrow.
