That's GOAT numbers.

Not quite as good as Hinault: 1-1-1-1-DNF-1-1-1-1-2-1-1-2

 

[Salvarani]

Well, Pog's the best I've seen in my five decades of following the sport. And does it with style and charm. Great to see Pellizarri up there again. A real talent. Tiberi too. The Italians are back.

Agreed.

GOAT days with a rider like Pog and his personality. Italy is back as well! What a time to be alive.

"Yeah winning a Giro is good, but he doesn't have all 3 GTs at 25"

~ Alberto Contador, just now

Spoiler

okay he didn't

If Contador doesn‘t watch out, he‘ll literally win all three GTs at 25.

Watching his interview that Pog kid, he's a good egg.

Hinault might punch you for that

He also wouldn't had the 3 GTs before 25 if they let him do the Tour in 2008 or if Rasmussen finished the Tour in 2007.

 

[Netserk]

I am making the argument, that Pogacar in the Giro is not the best possible Pogacar, because he wants to be that (if possible) at the Tour. Also I don't know if he went full gas all the way, he might have been riding by numbers and still gain 1;45 on the others.

I think it's the best Pogi in a GT so far.

 

[Libertine Seguros]

But why should VPP give Pellizzari second on the stage?

Dunno, maybe they just saw the Decathlon jersey and mistook VPP for O'Connor?

 

[Gigs_98]

31-1-1-1-1-1-1 is better tho

But what about 31-1-1-1-1-1-1?

Sir this is PRR we have Omerta here

 

[Valv.Piti]

Thomas looked dead. Surely he will not be able to oull out one more GT after this one?

The great one. El pistolero!

Padding your stats by using clinic issues to miss multiple Tours… so 2000s

It's Geraint Thomas, he'll do a Grand Tour of pubcrawls through all of Wales after this Giro

Nah he deserves to ride the Tour and get embarrassed. He ran his mouth about going for the win at the Giro and being able to ride both, now he gets to see what happens.

Real Ciclismo baby

Seems like some fans didn't get the memo about not touching the riders or putting flares in the rider's faces. I'm sure that Pogacar was happy to get onto the final descent. O'Connor and Thomas about as expected. The top five hasn't really seemed like it would change much in the final week. Nice ride by Storer for what looks like a top 10 overall.

Real Ciclismo baby

Very classy.

Skeletor in the French summer will be at Tsar bomb levels

 

[Rechtschreibfehler]

I think it's the best Pogi in a GT so far.

It's the most superior Pogi in a GT, but the best I think we'd need to compare numbers. He always got away with the first try, so he didn't have to do multiple attacks again and again. I'm sure the first TT and in Livigno he dug pretty deep, but I am not sure today e.g. compares to that in the peak performance.

The Skeletor from Tourmalet in the Vuelta 2023 is enough, unless Roglic and Remco improve a lot.

Both Merckx and Hinault had 4 GT wins at the same age.

 

[Salvarani]

So now you are admitting instead of tryna ridicule mou. So it is just like mou said now. That this season was gonna be the best Pogacar we have seen so far.

The prophecy was indeed true and not "false".

 

[AmRacer]

Both Merckx and Hinault had 4 GT wins at the same age.

Did they raced multiple GT's?

Right, hard to tell those two apart...
