If there was a real poll, would Pog be a bigger favourite than MVdP was for Roubaix?

....and they weren't so starved out you could actually tell they were thighs.
I'm not sure, maybe not. Roubaix is MVP playground and for Pog it's unknown. However the best monument to compare to Roubaix is Lombardy. And there I'm sure Pog would be a bigger favourite vs MVP than vice versa in Roubaix. MVP has zero chance to sustain uphill tempo of Pogacar (and other top climbers) in decisive stages of Lombardy and it won't even be close. He can't climb longer cols fast, which is his weakest point.
And now @DNP-Old is banned too? I didn't even read anything inappropriate from them.
Maybe Sam Bennett became a moderator?
So now he's stealing from CN, too? Good for him.
Well, Andreas, don't go gardening this year.

I think he should be. I think LBL as it is now is easier to win for a favorite than cobbles classics, where tactics usually play a much bigger role.
Still have the Giro Monte Crostis-Zoncolan stage OP into my spine.

Pogacar is the most popular rider in the peleton I do believe by a bit of margin followed closely by Vdp at second going from social media which is where fans follow their rider so your suggestion doesnt give any extreme odds if its true

Snow was already melted this morning. But good news for tomorrow, 2 hail storms went down today. Bad news, I was in it. Good I’m a bit fatter than Skjelmose.
Belgian weather, sun, hail, sun, rain, hail, sun. Too warm on the climbs, more sweat so colder in the longer descents. Hard to find the right combo.
As a big Mathieu fan, if he pulls this off it will be his most impressive one. But I felt what we’re all thinking. Pogi will win solo. Easily with his Strade legs.
And after seeing Liege for 30 years, never thought the steep part of the Redoute was that hard. Roche aux Faucons no one can follow Pogi.

Sporza had an interesting article about the long-term impact of hypothermia. Potentially it could mean that Skjelmose, Hirschi etc. haven't recovered fully yet.
Let’s make Desnie great. It seems close enough to the finish and steep enough to be a decisive launching pad for Pogacar after his team have smashed their way up the Rosier which is more suitable for domestique to set a hot pace.
I think they're exaggerating. They weren't on the North Pole. I wouldn't be surprised if Skjelmose did well tomorrow.
