Yes, he appears to be. What point are you trying to make?

If Pogacar believed he could beat Evenepoel in a TT then he'd have attempted to at the last two World Championships. There are some specific conditions where Pogacar will probably beat Evenpoel, such as at the end of a three week race. However, TT's at the end of a grand tour do not define who...

Why're you asking me? I'm not a sales rep :tearsofjoy:

His Paris victory was one of the highlights of the Olympics? I wonder how many more followers he gained on social media afterward?

It's gotta be the second victory? I'm a cycling fan and I don't even know how to watch the Amstel Gold Race.

I've said it before, on their day, few can match them up a hill. What could've been if they'd managed to remain consistent.

Kuss only won because he was on the same team as Roglic and Vingegaard

Does Pogacar make excuses? He doesnt seem like the sort to do so. His form must be on a downward trajectory, I imagine his peak was a few weeks ago at Flanders. I expect him to be somewhere close, but I'm not sure he's favourite over Evenepoel. It's part of what makes it easy to be a fan though...

Did anyone watch his post race interview? He seemed really disappointed, almost stunned, that'd he'd been beaten by Pogacar. Maybe he has too much belief in his own hype? Did he think he could just ride off and drop Pogacar?

People overstate TT ability, in my opinion, especially several commentators harp on about it as frequently. A TT is usually an effort of less than an hour, more likely 30 minutes, on a TT bike, with fresh legs. Totally different to a sustained effort after 250km of racing. Evenepoels position...

It seems like he doesn't stand much of a chance if Pogacar/MVDP/WVA and likely Evenepoel are racing. It might be a case of in another generation, he'd be winning everything, but there're too many generational talents racing now. Maybe his peak is yet to come? What're his chances for the rest of...

Or perhaps he's just got a sense of humour? There was a similar humorous fallout when Ross Barkley posted his 5k time last year.

Heh, I've been here before ;) It's probably not my true opinion, but they rarely seem to get talked about.

Adam Yates should ride the Giro since he's clearly in form. It'd be interesting to see the battle unfold between him and his brother. The best two climbers in the peloton?
