Remco does not race classics, nor is one of the best climbers. He defends himself in the mountains. He has gotten beaten more in GC in many races against many different riders, than he has won them.Because you are comparing a specialist (Ganna) to a generalist (Pogacar). While Evenepoel (generalist) and Vingegaard (GT rider) are much more similar to each other.
He is 3rd best one-day rider of the peloton (with 4 big wins), one of the 2 best time trialists (probably will end up as the best) and a GT winner.Remco does not race classics, nor is one of the best climbers.

He is not a (generalist).
He is great in flat ITTs, hilly one-day races and can ride GC when he has had perfect prep. He does not go well on all terrain though or is one of the best at multiple ones.

How he is not a generalist then?
Who, aside from Pog, is a generalist then?He doesnt ride on all terrain, nor is one of the best in multiple ones.
He has not raced 3/5 monuments.
Thats enough to claim he is not a "generalist".
He does consistently get beaten by other riders in stage-races and GTs. Especially in the mountains.
His one GT-win is looking more and more like an anomaly.
He is not a "generalist".

I dont use the term generalist. I responded to a post.What is a generalist then? And can you name me one beside Pogacar?
Evenepoel literally won WC, LBL and Vuelta in the same year, and a year later WC ITT. The only thing he hasn't ridden yet is on cobbles. He clearly is a generalist.There have been very few riders who can win in classics, one-day races and GTs.
That doesnt mean he is a generalist. He is not consistent. It is circumstantial in his case.Evenepoel literally won WC, LBL and Vuelta in the same year, and a year later WC ITT. The only thing he hasn't ridden yet is on cobbles. He clearly is a generalist.
If by the term classics you mean cobbled classics, then there are no few but only Pogacar, and we must go 30 years in past to find another one.I dont use the term generalist. I responded to a post.
You cant claim he is one though when he doesnt even race on all terrain, nor is among the best and only defends himself in some.
