They talked a lot. "Not possible". Laughed at what he said. Broke it down with numbers and so on. So much for that.

It is quiet now.

Is that the people who compare and use 2023 as reference when the dude rode with broken wrist? Ofcourse that was never the case thats just forcing a narrative which never was there to begin with. Ofcourse he was better and now just showed how much better that was more than people think but im not surprised.

Today was a legendary stage. In 20 years, we will remember this stage as the best climbing performance cycling has ever witness. This is a time I wouldn't expect in a MTT, let alone with 4000m of elevation and 180 km of a very hard tempo.
Pogacar made a statement today, he wants to be the best ever! If he wins the Tour, I will put him alongside Indurain, Hinault, etc. And I'm pretty sure in a couple of years, he will sit close to Merckx.

He is already the best dont fool yorself if you think Merckx would beat Vingegaard uphill and those times and Van der Poel in flandern. You said it yourself today the did the best climbing performance of all TIME. And then he runs to beat Van der poel in flandern. He is by far the best of all time already!

If your talking about the greatest I get you.

Tadej Pogačar and Jonas Vingegaard both did the best and second-best climbing performance of all time on the Plateau de Beille climb, making this the greatest climbing stage of all time.

Pogačar did 6.98 ᵉW/Kg for 39:50 min, which is by far the greatest climbing performance ever, taking into account conditions and the stage difficulty. Sea normalised power for this historic effort is 7.27 ᵉW/Kg. Pogačar’s adjusted altitude score was 696, which means this performance was equivalent to pushing 6.96 ᵉW/Kg for 60 minutes at sea level. Jonas Vingegaard, despite losing 68 seconds did the second-greatest climbing performance of all time.

There were also 4-5 other posters antagonizing him. Not seen them saying much today.

All he said has played out exactly like he said it.

He was the dude being rude to others, wasn't he (or she)? I mean, some of the numbers were and are clinic territory, so not really a good thing to be accurate about.

Perhaps Mou is Gianetti the Vamp? Or perhaps a dealer? :p

Because he kept insulting people with an intensity I‘ve never seen anyone do before or since.

From what I read he was passionate that’s all. There has been plenty of passion in this forum in the past. People should not take things personally. And in hindsight after making what seemed outlandish predictions was actually quite correct about what we are seeing so far.

I’d put him above Indurain and below Hinault still. Hinault didn’t win at the rate of Merckx, but he could have if he had tried. Pogacar will pass Hinault eventually, but Hinault was hardly an Indurain (plus he won Paris Roubaix).

Must say I have hard times to see Vinge doing it much better today, more like Pogi has improved massively...
(apart from that, I agree much in the priorities for Pogi's upcoming calendar).

Vingo and visma will regroup and improve. This will be motivating. Yates and Kuss and maybe Cian with Jorgensen and hard ass roleurs they have will be ready and at the wait. The only question is where is Vingo’s max?
