Congratulations to Tadej Pogačar, for winning Liège–Bastogne–Liège 2021.
Having Pogačar on your wheel, good luck with that! Alaphilippe looking at his right, not again!
But it's fair, isn't it? Last couple of races, Roglič, Pogačar, Alaphilippe ... all taking some notable wins, especially in the races they were most motivated to show or prove something.
We had a bit of a discussion, on why Roglič made some moves, on Tour of the Basque Country. I guess LBL confirmed my suspicion, Pogačar is currently a bit punchier at such finishes. But i feel that Roglič could improve, it's just that likely the focus and the base preparations are heading in other direction this season. Not in winning classics.
In autumn i feel that we are going to see a different Roglič, entering such race being prepared for such race. I don't even know if Rogličes head, legs and team were all in regarding this race today. He was likely already occupied with next big goal in the back of his mind.
Vingegaard likely managed to get his spring diploma and will be on the Tour roster?
As for liking or not liking Pogačar. In Slovenia i guess we now have 3 groups. Neutral and one for Roglič and one for Pogačar. Considering Pogačar will likely race for another decade and has an attacking style of riding. I wouldn't worry too much, about building up a fan base on the long run.
As for saying upfront, how the Tour will be boring. That is just not fair.
