I would not think the person who was one eyed was the one who had commented as this TdF being credible for the entire peloton and for Pogacar as well. Rather youd have to be zero eyed to draw the conclusion that I've been one eyed. Your vision also seems impaired by conventiantly ignoring my mention of Quintana and Bardet (who Geraint also rubbed shoulders with).
I wonder does your definition of 'one eyed' include comparing Geraint 15 years ago (he won gold for team pursuit at Olympics and World Champs when he was a year older than Gaudu now) to Gaudu? I wouldn't call that one eyed. More, no brained.
I compared Geraint at the age Gaudu is now. When he was a classics specialist. That isn't 15 years ago.
And I mean, the comparison of Thomas climbing with Quintana was what caused Peter Kennaugh to lose his rag with the Chicken a few years ago, when Geraint was a lot younger (and Quintana, despite being perceived as past it, is four years younger than Thomas too).
I doubt he would risk his legacy as a TdF winner and multi gold medal winner by getting sanctioned for cheating en route to a top 10 TdF finish. That'd be madness. He wouldn't be anywhere near the conversation for a podium had Roglic and O'Connor not had problems.
Ah yes, the "he would never dope, because it would suck if he got caught" argument. Never heard that one before.
And to be honest, based on the first nine years of his professional road career, he wouldn't be anywhere the conversation for a podium in any Grand Tour, period. What happened after that is what is the fundamental difference in this thread, and comparing the 2022 Thomas to the 2018-19 Thomas to describe his 'credibility' as a Tour winner is not really going to get us anywhere, because the thing that has the biggest impact on Thomas' credibility as a Tour winner is his career at any point until 2015.
