How was he stronger in 21? I saw Pogacar winning two stages, and Vingegaard was better in the TT.

When do you go back to posting by your old name here?Because as usual, Roglic will crash out in the first week of the Giro
Pogacar didn't seem too weak on stage 20 of the 2019 Vuelta or the 2020 Tour, though.
Pogacar was an absolute monster on that stages. In those years it seemed that the ultimate GT racer arrived. But maybe he's gradually transforming into a one-day racer? So soon even one-week races will be too long and too boring for him
Pogacar got 3rd in the final ITT in 2022. Also won a mountain stage and got 2nd on Hautacam in the 3rd week. That's very poor evidence of fading.
In 2021 he won the final 2 MTFs. And when he destroye everyone on stage 9 it was more down to the horrendous weather, I doubt he takes 3'30 if it's dry weather and the stage before isn't 250km.

In 2021 his last ITT was weaker compared to the first (which was thermonuclear). His peak form was in the first part of the Tour then (two watt bombs) but other than that last ITT (when he didn't have to go for it anyway) no signs of fading indeed.
In neither he was up against Vingegaard, and that is the comparison we are talking about.
Compared to Vingegaard Pogacar has a slightly worse ability to recover towards the end of a GT.
That may change, if Pogacar rides a conservative Tour focused on conserving strength this year, but thus far it has been the case.
As said, this is the head to head comparison and small percentages.
Nobody is saying Pogacar is a poor GT rider because of his recovery ability, I'm just saying it's one of the few areas where Vingegaard is marginally better.
It already happend at both the 21 and 22 tour, though obviously in 21 he did not need to push the envelope at the end.
Apparently she doesn't agree
He just signed for 5 more years at Jumbo, or whatever the team will be called.
Ladies & gents, I present the nightmare fuel of the day:

Jonas is nonhuman confirmed.

Jonas is nonhuman confirmed.
They used deep fake technology famous for other weird reasons (18+ content etc.).
It's bad & I'm just glad Rogla didn't get this sort of cringe treatment. It makes kid Jonas look like a creepy ventriloquist dummy from a horror movie.
Good God, it just seems everyone within the organisational department of Jumbo is some crazy incel degen.
Do you know what this means? Jonas will win at least more 5 tours france.
Real image? Come on, the guy was created in a lab a few years back.
I'm dissappointed they didn't use a talking fish.
The only reason to make this ad must've been to make sure Pog knows Chuckie is after him.
Teddy switched to classics just in time before the Fishy Era!
