How long do we go before they start questioning the Pogacar fairy tale ?

Anyone hear from L'equipe on this ? Anyone know if there is anyone in the media like David Walsh questioning these "not normal" rides up mountains by this kid ? Or are we supposed to believe in miracles ?

L'Équipe have been asking questions and making insinuations.

Don't worry, GCN are on the case:

I'm honestly confused by all this talk about a "fairy tale" surrounding Pogačar. He's just a guy winning by a lot. There's no sappy story here, no underdog narrative, no tear-jerking tale about a big adversity having been overcome, no media clout. His only protection is the reluctance of UCI and ASO to have to deal with a scandal, but that would apply literally to everyone in his position.

Quite hard today to ask questions through a screen when a press officer selects what questions can be asked

Otherwise what can they really say without being bankrupted in court by the UAE? If you think USPostal or Sky was powerful...

Yeah, they have good lawyers. UAE's Manchester City were banned from Champions League for two years by the UEFA after being found guilty of financial doping, however the ban was overturned by CAS

It might elicit an informative response such as:

“I know, for example, that yesterday, I had three controls in one day – two before the stage and one after."

It appears it can't be said that the ITA aren't asking questions.

We don’t need another thread about Pogacar.
