Can we then agree on some undeniable facts? So if Pogačar is the "greatest" rider to ever race a bike, then the "greatest" victory in a cycling race ever is, of course, the 17th stage of the Tour de France in 2006, when Floyd Landis launched a 120km solo attack and won the stage with five...

Really...!?! So being second overall at the Giro behind the best rider in the entire world, as Contador undoubtedly was at the time, is "nothing special". Il Cobra Ricco even had a chance to win the Giro that year, but alas, he didn't know that you can be much better if you just ride the bike...

Alas, sixteen years ago some jealous people did not allow il Cobra to reach Pogačar's level of "greatness"…:rolleyes:

You should be a comedian, and what we're all witnessing is actually beyond any parody. But hey, there are always enough naive people to believe in this kind of Riccardo il Cobra Ricco 2.0 "greatness"…:rolleyes:

It's like watching all the biggest dopers from their best days, but in one person. Of course Jonas is doped to the gills, but somehow his performance is more believable, probably because he rides a typical schedule of several one-week stage races during the spring, then the Dauphine and the...

I've been watching cycling long before 2002 and I've never seen anything like this. Nope, not even close to this kind of alien like performance. All the best cyclist of their eras had some kind of flaw, some type of terrain that didn't suit them, except Pogačar.

Well, you've apparently forgotten how Pogacar claimed two years ago that the key to his incredibly good ITT ride on Stage 5 was route reconnaissance. Let's not forget what happened in 2020, when Pogacar famously rode to feel without a power meter or computer on Stage 20, and that somehow helped...

Why…?! Probably because he desperately tried to do something today and steal the show that way. He’s so arrogantly full of himself and his image of the new Merckx, that he couldn’t just gracefully accept his defeat. Such a pathetic loser…

Please remind me what exactly happened after Andy Schleck attacked Contador and then dropped his chain in the 2010 Tour de France?! I mean, does anyone remember the outrage and that Contador had to apologize for taking advantage of Schleck's mechanical problem, even if was obvious to anyone that...

Well, well, well, now you want to tell me that Vingo is somehow responsible for The Miracle on Planche des Belles Filles in 2020, or The Big Chainring Massacre on the Col de la Colombiére last year. By the way, IMHO Pog is just a talented early doper & an excellent responder and nothing more...

Well, two years ago I said to myself something like… Nah, there is no chance that Pog could even sniff those 57sec at La Planche des Belles Filles. On stage 17 Roglic left Pog behind on the Col de la Loze (Kuss was MVP that day), and Pog was just nine seconds faster than Roglic in Slovenian ITT...

Well, this Tour gives every day a new doped up to the eyeballs adventure. Yesterday was a day for McNobody to shine, today we had WWA a.k.a. The Eagle of Herning Herentals, and I do sincerely hope that the day after tomorrow Pogminator will go full thermonuclear and maybe repeat the success...

Nope, after today’s performance a la Monsieur 60% at Hautacam, WWA is The Eagle of Herning Herentals…

Well, I only know one thing… I definitely want to eat all my words about Cancer Jesus & The Blue Train, or whatever Froomedog and The Sky Machine used to do, because the boys from UAE team are in a league of their own…

Well, I've watched doped cyclists do some unreal things all my life, but this performance by McNulty was even beyond unreal. Something like when Landis rode the entire peloton off his wheel over five climbs in the Alps on stage 17 sixteen years ago. Except, of course, that Landis was the big...
