    Not sure if serious.

    It’s an attempt to rationalise the utterly *huge* disparity between him and a bunch of other world class professionals who (shock) do all the same cutting edge training techniques and other marginal gains stuff that UAE do. And that argument seems to be ‘he’s a lucky sod.’

    It’s telling that there’s now a media cottage industry dedicated to explaining away Pogacar’s ludicrous performances. Some of the explanations are also as ludicrous to be fair. He goes to the gym. He does a few sit ups. He changed the height of his saddle to super duper mode. He doesn’t use...

    It’s another signal amongst the noise. The oddities that don’t add up. This guy is such a cannibal, won’t let anyone else win anything if he can help it, yet he swerves the Olympics like it’s a dose of the clap? Not buying it. He’d kill to wear that gold medal unless he was advised he’d be...

    Maybe it was your ‘Pogacar is the best cyclist ever’ line. I didn’t say you thought he was clean.

    I was you once. Twenty years ago. I thought Armstrong was the greatest living sportsman. Then I got my eyes opened. And Pogacar is making what Armstrong did look like amateur hour. There’s not a cat in hell’s chance any of it is real and it sure as hell isn’t sport.

    I mean, isn’t it obvious by now? They probably don’t even need the PEDs. And again, it’s the unexpected one off isolated and unexpected drops in performance that give the game away. To merely argue that it’s ‘incontheivable’ is to ignore the empirical evidence and the factual context.

    Yes. And then, just every so often, he looks comparatively normal, at least a level or two below what we expect from him. That translates into a poor/just ok ITT or a top 5/podium placement in a one day race. Then, the next day or next race he’s superhuman again, without need to find form again...

    No. He’s doped to the gills obviously. That explains the first version of Pogacar. The 2019-2023 version. But then UAE needed something else. Something else to beat Vingegaard and something else to win the classics. All of them. In one season. The pattern is not the wins, his unbelievable...

    We can speculate to the cows come home. Look back at what has been done before by other dopers. It’s this, it’s that. Whatever. When we stop being either impressed or angry and take the time to analyse Pogacar’s performances across a long period of time, we see certain obvious patterns. We see...

    I Hate to do this but Brad Wiggins

    Weird, I thought Brad and Froomey were besties.

    It was one of the most egregious examples of motor doping I have ever witnessed. It made Femke Van den Driessche‘s effort look relatively natural by comparison. And it was far from the only example you could point at this season as being more than suspicious as regards Pogacar.

    The UCI did everything they could to protect Armstrong. Only when people came forward and the evidence and the media noise became overwhelming did they do anything. It’ll be the same with this joker. Everyone knows what’s going on, especially the other teams and their riders. Look at UAE’s...

    The BBC commentary team sound utterly dejected. They know what they’re watching and it isn’t real.

    Those diplomatic bags sure are handy to circumvent customs.
