Both forgettable

Only thing 2024 has over 2025 is the Giro, 8 more GT stages, and 5 more wins in general. CdD > VaC plus his classics assault was remarkable and better than 2024. The Tour was similar in the beginning but I think missing Almeida and the crash along with the classics focus took some extra out of his legs for the last week.

Well... 'MSR and PR' 'rate...very highly in the equation' even more so 'cause without solely MVDP, he could've have done a 1*-1-1-1-1

*I highly doubt Ganna gets 2°place at MSR 2025 if MVDP isn't in the race.

Very true.

This is why I think for now, MVDP and Vingegaard are his only competitors. Because it is kinda crazy to think about but I'm positive that without Vingegaard and MVDP he can win all the monuments and all the GT in the same year.

For now these are the only 2 who have a consistent chance to beat him in the races he targets and who consistently pose a real threat.

For results 2025 is better - below is from PCS.
2024 I still prefer for sentimental value. The first Giro-Tour double in 26 years.

2025: 8635 km in 50 days | PCS points: 4921 | UCI points: 11680
2024: 9959 km in 58 days | PCS points: 4588 | UCI points: 11655

The Giro-Tour double was something immense but hey, this year, he was like goddamn Darth Vader. In every race he was the man to beat. In almost every race he beat (read DEVASTATED) everyone else.
Such a big difference in level it felt like playing two different video-games, one in easy mode and the other in super hardcore mode.
Crazy, never ever seen anything like this year since I started following cycling in the late nineties.

To me it seems that now MVP is his only huge competitor and the only guy that beats Pogacar in some races the Slovenian targets. He single handedly prevented Pogacar from winning all 5 monuments this year (I mean wut?). Vingegaard is a legendary rival but he couldn't hurt Pogacar in the mountains for two consecutive Tour editions so now he's surely behind.
