Obviously, it could be different on Seixas case, but all this maths about age reminds me somewhat of the reactions after Ayuso's podium at the Vuelta.
Since he was a year younger than Pogacar, it seemed like he'd achieve everything a year younger, and jis progress has been less than other riders, probably because Ayuso had an excessively professional training since he was 15.
I'd like to see jis progress graph; I think he won't have a bell curve and he'll never have it, just a slight rise due to age, but without ever reaching that curve.

Aysuso´s curve will probably resemble what Merckx had from 28-29 to 32.

If Pogacar continues to resemble Merckx so much in his curve, it seems there are still 3 horrible years ahead for his haters :sweatsmile:

Yeah, that spot beginning at 28-29 is where the stupid mistakes, if any all disappear. The drop off afterward is usually to serious injury or lack of motivation. If Merckx had missed a few crashes, kept his pedal stroke smoother he could've continued 8-10 years more. Everyone else would've quit, though.
