Also he lives in Monaco. There are probably half of citizens who are more popular and rich than him. Cycling is not that popular in the world((

Well it's quite popular, at least the TDF, the most watched annual sports event in the word:

"The Tour de France is the most watched annual sporting event in the world, with over 3.5 billion viewers worldwide. "

Those crashes and sprint finishes really rack up a lot of views.

Pogačar smiled when it was put to him that he had never won a one-day race when both Van Aert and Van der Poel had started. “It’s not unusual, they also didn’t win a Grand Tour where we all started,” he shrugged.

Good response! Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think he has ever won a one-day race when MVP started. Their H2H in such races is really bad for Pog, MVP is his boogie man (it's also because MVP skips those more hilly classics).

The ledger would be a lot more even if MVDP as like Pogacar in going for races out of his comfort zone by doing the Italian fall classics that he could potentially be a contender in some but struggle to hold with the amount of climbing in Lombardia.

When people were mocking his cyclocross attempts I was like, This is why he is the greatest. He puts himself out there time and time again. Across stages in GTs, for the GC, on the cobbles. Absolute courage and conviction backed by all-timer legs. The best all-around cyclist of the modern era, IMO, even if he doesn’t win 6 or 7 Tours.
