Looks like he gave one of his lions to Girmay (for his daughter)!

I think they swapped it. It's probably the only jersey he will never win... Probably... Well...

 

[Bombarolo]

It's insane how he has improved in TT though.

With the latest spec TT bike and a bit more effort, he could have won the second time trial at the Giro against Ganna as well.

Scary as ***.

Merckx did the double plus 3 monuments, and the hour record for the lols.

2024 season is not over

 

[JimPanzen]

Man, this thread really is going to be a big old circle jerk for the coming days, huh? 😅

 

[Berniece]

Yes and Pele won World Cup when was 17, but nobody who knows football put him as the goat

Lol, you clearly never watched a single documentary on Merckx or watched a single stage

I am officially joining the GOAT wagon!

Pogacar you’re the greatest of all times!

Nothing wrong with that, he is the goat

 

[SHAD0W93]

So much arrogance to fail to predict 7W/ kg happening out of nowhere.

SO MUCH ARROGANCE I TELL YOU

S**t surprised launched like it was Apex Legends.

A season for ages. After he dominated some early-season classics (Strade and Liege) we witnessed the biggest demonstration of power in stage races in modern cycling: Giro-Tour double won in absurd style (6 stages in each of them with gaps of 10+ and 6+ minutes). Absolutely incredible. So far this year, he was beaten only in one race and only by two sprinters.

Bill Russell the goat.

 

[Jack_89]

He's already said he wants the WC...in the furst interview, quite surprising given that he just won the freaking double. Never ceases to amaze

 

[Valv.Piti]

No comments on the Olympics, rather Worlds

Makes sense, Olympics will be much harder for him to win than Worlds and Worlds give you that sweet jersey

 

[James M]

When I think about it watching that podium. The greatest and most competitive Tour for some years atleast yeah? from a competition standpoint And he won it in the style he did and not only that he did it while doing the double

its so oveeeer

You saw the last two years how fragile things can be even with small mishaps in the race or during preparation. So a unbroken and continueing dominance of Tadeij is not set in stone. We had the same conversations last year with Vingo. This thread here was already coping hard with Tadeij never winning a Tour again. And now look at this year. Next year cards will be dealt all new and maybe we have Remco in the mix even more.

Hop on the Goat Boat!

 

[Salvarani]

What reason has Vingegaard got to be devastated after what he has come back from? Maybe his team gave him false expectations?

Exactly... he was just lucky be alive... why so disappointed Jonas? You expected to win or something?

 

[Salvarani]

Hop on the Goat Boat!

We partying like we in Ibiza baby

Didn't quite catch it because my brain's been fried from the heat; what exactly did he say about those chips?
Something about not being allowed to eat them?

Its only fargile if Pogacar is not at this best if he is its not close never has been.

The numbers dont lie vingegaard never been better in case you tell yourself other things thats fine and i dont mind but the numbers dont lie neither does jumbo and Vingegaard, this isnt hard when ur objective

Granted maybe a little bit better lets say he can but its still a mile away. Besides since you brought it up I suspect Evenpoel will close more the gap on Vingegaard the next years than Vingegaard will Pog.

But lets see indeed, but if Pogacar is at this level and not a worse version than this for some reason you can believe what you want I know the outcome these numbers are ridiculous and unmatched in history and its while doing something which also was deemed impossible in modern cycling. So yeah people can believe what they if it makes them feel better somehow Numbers dont lie neither does the eyes.

 

[Red Lobster]

So dominant. One gel away from seven stage wins and not much further off eight. Hello.

Wait he started to eat people during the ceremony aswell now? I guess its the instincts kicking in again

What's with all the laughing emojis?

You wrote it yourself..."If Pogacar is at this level and not worse than this for some reason"...that's exactly the point. A lot of things must go right to get to this level. Holding it is even harder. I'm not saying he won't be this good again, but it's just not guaranteed.
